What is Carbon Footprint?

• As per the World Health Organization (WHO), a carbon footprint quantifies the influence of human activities on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated from burning fossil fuels, typically measured in metric tons of CO2 emissions.
• It is gauged in terms of annual CO2 emissions, a metric that may include additional greenhouse gasses such as methane, nitrous oxide, and other CO2-equivalent gasses.
• It can be a broad measure or be applied to the actions of an individual, a family, an event, an organization, or even an entire nation.
