The science is clear: avoiding the worst-case scenarios of climate change requires us to decrease carbon emissions drastically and immediately. According to the latest science, limiting warming to approximately 1.5°C requires global GHG emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest and to be reduced by 43% by 2030 (IPCC). The decisions we make today matter. Understanding the carbon impact of our lives, making carbon-informed decisions, and supporting climate solutions (in whatever ways we can) has never been more meaningful.
Carbon offsetting is a mechanism that enables individuals and organizations to advance climate action by supporting certified third-party projects that contribute to the reduction or removal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Certified carbon projects issue carbon credits, which act as an instrument for selling or trading the project’s associated removal or reduction impact. Each carbon credit represents a single unit of GHG emissions (being one (1) tonne carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e)) that is reduced or removed from the atmosphere or the carbon cycle and that would not have taken place without the prospect of selling such carbon credits. A unit of GHG emissions can be reduced or removed through various methods or project types.
The purchase of a carbon credit enables the buyer to contribute to these certified carbon projects, and one often purchases credits in an amount equivalent to an estimated carbon footprint. This act of “carbon offsetting” provides financing for these certified carbon projects.
A carbon project's ability to issue carbon credits depends on a set of rigorous conditions – in order for a project to issue credits, the emission reductions or removals must be validated as additional, measurable, auditable, permanent, and unique.
The funds paid will support climate solutions (verified offsets) that reduce or remove greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The price you pay is the total cost to deliver the carbon offset.
In order for a climate project to receive certification from a credible carbon certification body, it must demonstrate "additionality." Additionality means that the GHG emission reductions or removals associated with that particular project would not have taken place in the absence of the project and that the project would not have been financially feasible without the generation and sale of carbon credits.
All carbon offsets available on this platform are from certified projects, and so they have had the additionality criteria case checked by both an independent third-party verifier and the respective carbon certification body at project inception.
