World Economic Forum's reported carbon emissions

The World Economic Forum (WEF), headquartered in CH, has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For 2023, the WEF reported total emissions of approximately 3,625,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1,983,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3,198,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 245,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the WEF's total emissions were approximately 40,822,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2,025,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 38,797,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 data was not reported for this year. The previous year, 2021, saw total emissions of approximately 790,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions around 320,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions around 470,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 data was also missing for 2021. For 2020, the WEF reported total emissions of approximately 97,402,000 kg CO2e, consisting of Scope 2 emissions of roughly 361,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 97,041,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 data was not available. In 2019, emissions data was reported across all scopes: Scope 1 at approximately 1,500,000,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 900,000,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 5,100,000,000,000 kg CO2e. For 2014, total emissions were approximately 390,000 kg CO2e, with no specific breakdown by scope available. The WEF has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, encompassing both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The organization's reporting for 2021 and 2022 indicates a lack of Scope 1 data for those years, though Scope 3 emissions are reported. Missing data points for Scope 3, including purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute, are noted for several reporting years.
