The Carbon Footprint (CFP) is one of the most common indicators to quantify environmental pollution and it is based on household consumption. In this paper, we estimate the per capita CFP of the Italian regions and we compare CFP with the CO2 absorbed by forest per inhabitant. The idea that is enough to plant more and more trees to obtain carbon neutrality, i.e. emitted CO2 equal to the intake one, is debunked.

Abstract
The Carbon Footprint (CFP) is one of the most common indicators to quantify environmental pollution and it is based on household consumption. In this paper, we estimate the per capita CFP of the Italian regions and we compare CFP with the CO2 absorbed by forest per inhabitant. The idea that is enough to plant more and more trees to obtain carbon neutrality, i.e. emitted CO2 equal to the intake one, is debunked.File in questo prodotto:
