Each metric tonne of C02 that is removed from the atmosphere by an an offset certificate, is enough to fill up 500 fire extinguishers, or 8 swimming pools, and have the same weight as 400 bricks.
Carbon reduction projects are buying the world the needed to make the transition to low carbon economies.
Verified carbon reduction projects produce Carbon Offset Certificates which are recorded in International Carbon Registries.
They finance activates which remove and reduce greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere.
They are rigorously scrutinized through an international monitoring and verification process.
Carbon Offset Certificates for verified projects are issued by the Verra, Gold or CDM Registry administered by the United Nations Secretariat. Verified projects earn Certified Emission Reduction units equivalent to one tonne of CO2-e and each has a unique serial number recorded in the UN Registry and displayed on the certificate. Carbon offset certificates finance certified projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere in other parts of the world and are rigorously scrutinized through an international monitoring and verification process. Each certificate represents one metric tonne of C02.
Certificates support a range of projects that include wind, solar, hydro, biomass energy recovery, geothermal and GHG abatement. They not only reduce emissions but also but also drive sustainable development and improved living conditions.
The Climate Change Institute is committed to finding solutions by supporting UN carbon reduction projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst supporting sustainable development and providing resources to help individuals and organizations take action to lower their carbon footprint.
