In 2021, LSE claimed to be the first UK university to be independently verified as carbon-neutral, which it achieved by funding rainforest trees to [[Carbon offset|offset emissions]] through the Finnish organisation ([[Osakeyhtiö|Oy]]) Compensate.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2021-11-04 |title=LSE becomes first carbon-neutral university |language=en-GB |work=[[BBC News]] |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-59153034 |access-date=2021-11-05 |archive-date=5 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105092807/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-59153034 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author=London School of Economics and Political Science |title=LSE becomes the first Carbon Neutral verified university in the UK |url=https://www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-news-from-LSE/2021/k-November-21/LSE-becomes-the-first-Carbon-Neutral-verified-university-in-the-UK.aspx |access-date=2021-11-05 |website=London School of Economics and Political Science |date=4 November 2021 |language=en-GB |archive-date=10 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710221304/https://www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-news-from-LSE/2021/k-November-21/LSE-becomes-the-first-Carbon-Neutral-verified-university-in-the-UK |url-status=live }}</ref> However, LSE omitted some of its emissions in its calculation and thus did not offset all of them. While it measured and offset emissions from heating, electricity, and faculty air travel, the school left out other travel-related emissions, as well as emissions from construction and on-campus food. LSE plans to offset the remaining emissions ([[Carbon accounting|scope 1 through 3]]) by 2050.<ref>{{Cite web|date=November 2021|title=Questions and Answers: LSE's carbon footprint|url=https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/divisions/estates-division/sustainable-lse/assets/documents/what-we-do/carbon/qaa-carbon-footprint.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105082037/https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/divisions/estates-division/sustainable-lse/assets/documents/what-we-do/carbon/qaa-carbon-footprint.pdf|archive-date=2021-11-05|access-date=2021-11-05|website=London School of Economics}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ellis |first=Rosa |date=2021-11-04 |title=London School of Economics claims carbon neutral status |url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/london-school-economics-claims-carbon-neutral-status |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=Times Higher Education (THE) |language=en |archive-date=31 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220331171935/https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/london-school-economics-claims-carbon-neutral-status |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Higgins |first=James |date=2021-11-04 |title=LSE claims to be country's first carbon neutral university |url=https://universitybusiness.co.uk/sustainability/lse-countrys-first-carbon-neutral-university/ |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=University Business |language=en-GB |archive-date=19 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220519181806/https://universitybusiness.co.uk/sustainability/lse-countrys-first-carbon-neutral-university/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
