The term climate footprint has emerged from the field
of carbon footprinting, and refers to a measure of
the full set of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) controlled under the Kyoto
Protocol. A climate footprint is a more comprehensive measure of
anthropogenic impact upon the climate than a carbon footprint, but is also more
costly and labour-intensive to calculate.
A climate footprint is a measure of the total amount of carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous
oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons
(PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant
sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the
population, system or activity of interest. Calculated as carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO2e) using the relevant 100-year global warming potential (GWP100).
