UNDERSTANDING CARBON FOOTPRINTS: PAVING THE WAY FOR CLIMATE ACTION
Abstract
Abstract: This study delves into the pivotal role of carbon footprints in addressing the urgent challenge of climate change. By employing diverse methodologies including input-output models, knowledge-mapping analysis, and visual analytics, the research enhances comprehension of greenhouse gas emissions. Emphasizing the significance of understanding carbon footprints as a guiding framework, the study highlights their role in formulating effective strategies to combat climate change. Individual actions, such as energy conservation and dietary choices, alongside global collaborations like the Paris Agreement, are identified as crucial in mitigating carbon footprints and fostering a sustainable future. Through a comprehensive analysis, this study underscores the necessity of collective efforts and informed decision-making to navigate the complexities of climate change and pave the way for a resilient and environmentally conscious society.
