Google aimed for net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 but saw a 51% increase in emissions from 2019 to 2024. New findings from Kairos Fellowship suggest an even worse 65% rise. Since 2010, Google's greenhouse gas emissions surged by 1,515%. The largest spike occurred recently, with a 26% increase from 2023 to 2024. Critics argue that Google’s sustainability reports obscure true emissions data, as significant numbers are often relegated to appendices, preventing clear public understanding of its environmental impact.
Between 2010 and 2024, Google's total greenhouse gas emissions increased by 1,515%. This drastic rise showcases the company's failure in achieving sustainability goals.
The latest report from Kairos Fellowship revealed that Google's carbon emissions rose by 65% between 2019 and 2024, a stark contrast to Google's reported figures.
Despite a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, Google's emissions data indicate a troubling trajectory, particularly with a 26% increase from 2023 to 2024.
The metrics typically highlighted by Google in its sustainability reports do not reflect the alarming increase in emissions, as essential figures are often buried in appendices.
