Yale University's reported carbon emissions

Yale University currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges at this time. This lack of data suggests that Yale may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. In the context of climate action, many institutions are increasingly adopting science-based targets and engaging in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to align their operations with global climate goals. However, without specific commitments or data, it is unclear how Yale University is positioning itself within this framework. As the university continues to develop its sustainability strategies, it may look to establish measurable targets and transparent reporting to enhance its climate commitments and reduce its carbon footprint in the future.
