MLB's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Major League Baseball (MLB) has not publicly reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data. Consequently, there are no defined Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions metrics available for analysis. Additionally, MLB has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that while MLB may be aware of the importance of addressing climate change, specific actions or measurable commitments have not been disclosed. In the broader context of the sports industry, many organisations are increasingly recognising the need to mitigate their environmental impact. However, without concrete data or commitments from MLB, it remains unclear how the league plans to address its carbon footprint or contribute to climate action.
