Scope 3 emissions—those that occur across a company’s value chain—account for most global business emissions, yet remain the most challenging to measure and reduce. The majority of companies with science-based targets are falling behind on the pace and scale of emissions reductions required, and the challenge is only getting more pressing. Today, the global ‘scope 3 emissions gap’ is estimated at 1.4GtCO2e, roughly equivalent to Japan’s annual emissions—and is expected to increase fivefold by 2030. The Scope 3 Action Challenge will bring together a group of like-minded leaders who want to change this trajectory. As supporters of the Scope 3 Action Challenge, we: ✔️ Acknowledge the urgency of closing the scope 3 emissions gap and the growing risks of inaction. ✔️ Support the use of all credible solutions to accelerate corporate decarbonization. ✔️ Commit to transparency and accountability in our climate strategies. ✔️ Join a collective movement of leaders demonstrating ambition and action. We encourage all companies to make all possible efforts to identify the causes of their Scope 3 gap and identify solutions. We must act now—Accelerate #Scope3Action.

🌳 Forests don’t just absorb carbon—they sustain life on Earth. 🌍 This week, as part of our #EarthMonth series, we’re spotlighting the vital role forests play for climate, people, and nature. ✅ Absorbing nearly 7.6 billion tonnes of CO₂ annually  ✅ Supporting the livelihoods of 1.6 billion people  ✅ Protecting 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity And yet, we’re still losing our forests at a staggering rate. Through initiatives like the #LEAFCoalition, Emergent 's mission is to accelerate forest protection at the scale and pace needed to combat the climate crisis and ensure real and lasting impact. Swipe through to explore why protecting forests is one of the most powerful tools we have for securing a livable planet.

Scope 3 emissions are the biggest piece of the carbon puzzle.   They cover indirect emissions from a company’s value chain, like business travel, waste disposal, and outsourced manufacturing — and while they often make up the largest share of a company’s carbon footprint, they are the most challenging to track and reduce.   Tackling scope 3 emissions is a major challenge for companies. As a result, corporate scope 3 emissions are not being reduced at the pace or scale needed to deliver global net zero emissions: research shows that the gap between scope 3 emissions and targets is 1.4 gigatons of CO2e today (roughly equivalent to Japan’s annual emissions in 2022) and expected to grow to 7 gigatons CO2e by 2030 (approximately double that of the European Union).   That’s why we welcome new guidance from VCMI, being developed to help companies close the scope 3 emissions gap by investing in real-world climate solutions while they decarbonize internally.   📅 Sign up for VCMI’s upcoming launch webinar to explore how companies and governments can take #Scope3Action with integrity: https://lnkd.in/eXPAXxUx   #carboncredits #carbonmarkets #climateaction
