What is a carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is the entire amount of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) produced by human actions. According to pawprint.eco, the average carbon footprint per person in the UK is 12.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, and in the US, it's 21 tonnes.

By 2050, the average worldwide carbon footprint per year must fall to under 2 tonnes per person in order to have the best chance of reaching the goals of the UN Paris Agreement.
