What is the carbon footprint and how can it be measured and reduced?

The carbon footprint is an environmental indicator that measures the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) that are emitted into the atmosphere by human activity, whether from an individual, an organisation, an event or a product¹. These gases contribute to global warming and climate change, so it is important to reduce or offset the carbon footprint to protect the environment. The carbon footprint can be measured according to different international standards, such as the GHG Protocol², ISO 14064-1³, PAS 2050 or ISO/TS 14067. These standards make it possible to calculate the direct and indirect GHG emissions associated with an activity, a product or a service, and to express them in tonnes or kilos of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Different tools and applications are available to estimate the carbon footprint of an individual or an organisation, as well as to offer advice and solutions to reduce or offset it. For example, you can choose to use renewable energies, public tr...
