It takes an average of 0.10kcal to walk up/down a step, averaged.[1]
2.2kg of CO2 are emitted per 2000kcal of consumption (I just averaged table 3 for want of a better idea)[2]
37 steps in a staircase (TFA, 46 total - 9 flat)
3.7kcal burned, 3.7kcal * 1.1g/kcal ~= 4g CO2 per person per trip
Obviously very rough, but unless I've made an order-of-magnitude error it's in the same ballpark.
