The carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere by an individual due to their activities over a certain period. This includes energy consumption, water usage, transportation, and food. These emissions pose a significant environmental threat, leading to rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and impacts on ecosystems, wildlife, and coastal areas due to rising sea levels. To address this, strategies must be implemented to reduce emissions and safeguard the environment for future generations.
In the fight against climate change, Saudi Arabia has pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 278 million tons annually by 2030. This underscores the Kingdom's commitment to preserving the planet for future generations.
