Barcelona- El Prat Airport's reported carbon emissions

Barcelona-El Prat Airport currently does not have available emissions data for recent years, as no specific figures have been provided. Consequently, there are no documented carbon emissions in kg CO2e to report. In terms of climate commitments, the airport has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives. This lack of information suggests that while the airport may be aware of the importance of addressing climate change, it has not yet established formal commitments or measurable goals in line with industry standards. As the aviation sector increasingly focuses on sustainability, it is essential for Barcelona-El Prat Airport to develop and communicate clear strategies for reducing its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
