摘要

Currently, the global warming problem affects every country worldwide, and Panama, as a signatory of the Paris Agreement, is no exception. In response to this urgent issue, this paper presents an innovative mobile application designed to monitor and control greenhouse gas emissions in Panamanian households, aiming to increase awareness and promote actionable change. The application development process involved a thorough requirements analysis, leading to its architectural design and subsequent development and validation. Based on the evaluation results, providing users with a clear visualization of their emissions encourages both individual and collective actions to reduce their carbon footprint, aligning with Panama’s commitment to the Paris Agreement. While addressing local concerns, this effort contributes significantly to the global fight against climate change, showcasing the power of technological solutions in ecological conservation. This study’s main contributions include the development of a user-centric mobile application for emission monitoring, an in-depth analysis of user engagement with environmental data, and a demonstration of the practical impact of technology-driven initiatives in fostering environmental stewardship in Panama. The work presented in this paper intersects theoretical research and practical technological application, offering a viable solution to a pressing global issue.
