National Library of Australia's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the National Library of Australia reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 4,812,376 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 3,340,868 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 2,842,213 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. In 2022, the library's global emissions were recorded at about 342,191 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 2,572,913 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 524,148 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Despite these figures, the National Library of Australia has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for future development in their climate strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while emissions are being tracked, a formalised commitment to reducing these figures may be lacking. Overall, the library's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the need for strategic climate commitments to address their carbon footprint effectively.
