In 2023, the World Land Trust reported total carbon emissions of approximately 253,836 kg CO2e. The emissions breakdown includes 9,507 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (purchased electricity) and 54,305 kg CO2e from Scope 3, which encompasses business travel, employee commuting, waste generated in operations, and fuel and energy-related activities. Notably, the organisation has not disclosed any Scope 1 emissions data. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were about 69,294 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 9,056 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions comprising 33,159 kg CO2e from business travel and 23,362 kg CO2e from employee commuting. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. The World Land Trust has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. Overall, while the World Land Trust has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
