Total Emissions (lbs CO2): 0
To keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, each person can emit roughly 6,000 pounds of CO2 per year. This is the global standardized goal set by the International Panel on Climate Change.
To reach Carbon Neutral, the amount of emissions would need to be zero. Check out our cheatsheet for ways to reduce your emissions.
