Our carbon footprint is the carbon emissions we cause every year. The average global carbon footprint is approximately 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide each per year. But in the Western world the average carbon emissions per person is twice as large. In order to limit global warming to max 2 degree Celsius, it is advised that we reduce our carbon footprints to below 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents per year.
