In 2022, the museum's total emissions were approximately 5,690,000 kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 409,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 218,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 5,063,000 kg CO2e.

In 2019, total emissions were approximately 5,978,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 494,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 281,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 5,203,000 kg CO2e.

Louisiana Museum is committed to significant climate action, having set Science Based Targets (SBTi). These commitments include:

• Near-term targets (by 2030, from a 2019 base year): A 46% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. The museum also commits to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions.
• Long-term targets (by 2050, from a 2019 base year): A commitment to reach net-zero emissions, with a specific target to reduce all scopes (1, 2, and 3) by 90% by 2050.

These targets are aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. The museum is classified as a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) and its targets were approved using a streamlined validation route for SMEs. The museum's climate commitments are not cascaded from a parent organisation.
