Description

A carbon footprint is a change in climate attributed directly or indirectly to activities that change the composition of the world’s atmosphere. It is an environmental indicator that indicates the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) expressed as CO2 equivalents that are emitted directly or indirectly as a result of specific activity. The carbon footprint concept allows everyone to make comparisons between the climate impacts of individuals, products, companies and countries. It also helps people devise strategies and priorities for reducing the carbon footprint.
