This includes 1.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions (stationary combustion), 759,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity), and 1.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions (waste generated in operations).

While specific emissions data for 2021 is not available, City of Melbourne has committed to achieving Net Zero Emissions for the entire municipality by 2040. In 2016, the organisation's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 15.0 million kg CO2e. In 2015, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.4 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 16.0 million kg CO2e. For 2014, Scope 1 emissions were about 1.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 17.7 million kg CO2e. In 2013, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.7 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 15.3 million kg CO2e. In 2012, the total emissions were approximately 52.0 million kg CO2e.

Historical data also indicates other emissions, such as 386.1 million kg CO2e from natural gas consumption in 2019, 377.8 million kg CO2e from natural gas consumption in 2018, and 349.2 million kg CO2e from natural gas consumption and 3.3 million kg CO2e from electricity consumption in 2017. The organisation has documented its climate commitments in its Emissions Reduction Plan 2021-26.
