L'empreinte carbone est la quantité totale d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre produites par un individu, une organisation, un événement ou un produit. Les gaz à effet de serre comprennent le dioxyde de carbone, le méthane, l'oxyde nitreux et d'autres gaz qui retiennent la chaleur dans l'atmosphère. L'empreinte carbone est souvent exprimée en termes de quantité d'équivalent dioxyde de carbone (CO2e) émis.
