Intellig Space 2.0 - Space Apps Challenge

Intellig Space 2.0| What Is Our Carbon Footprint?

What Is Our Carbon Footprint?

Your challenge is to identify local sources of carbon emissions and/or estimate amounts of carbon emissions for different human activities to aid scientists in mapping carbon sources and sinks. How can you inform decisions to adapt to the consequences of a changing world and aid policy makers in making plans for the future?

Space Carbon Information

Summary

Our project consists of developing a website to make the CO2 emission levels of countries in the world in a didactic way.

How We Addressed This Challenge

It addresses with a theme of data analysis and exposure for decision making through the creation of a website, as governments and companies tend to look for useful and updated information about their carbon footprints.

How We Developed This Project

Through extensive research we found the solution of creating a website appropriate to divide the parts between the research topics, and development among those involved

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Through data provided by NASA satellites, our website aims to be updated periodically, so that the data displayed on it is not obsolete.
