Paris Agreement: The Paris Agreement is an international treaty signed in 2015 that aims to limit global warming below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It sets targets for countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provides frameworks for adaptation measures.
Carbon Footprint: Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, product, or event. It includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), among others.
Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources formed from ancient organic materials like plants and animals. They include coal, oil, and natural gas but contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions when burned for energy production.
