Church Of England's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, the Church of England reported total carbon emissions of approximately 140,800,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant reduction from 2021, when emissions were about 410,000,000 kg CO2e. However, there is no emissions data available for 2023. The Church has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reduction or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments in this area. The emissions data does not specify the scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) of these emissions, and there are no reported initiatives or targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while the Church of England has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, further transparency and commitment to climate action would enhance its sustainability efforts.
