The carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and other greenhouse gases emitted by a person, company, country or other entity, through the result of their energy and consumption activities.
This quantification is directly linked to the contribution of global warming, given that this phenomenon is related to the increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the increase in GHG levels in the atmosphere, mainly carbon dioxide, caused by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels.
