OFFSET
your emissions
After reducing your climate impact, offsetting is an effective way to reduce emissions globally and create sustainable development benefits for communities around the world. And why not aim high? Go Climate+ rather than simply carbon neutral and offset more than your footprint.
High-impact Gold Standard carbon credits supported through this marketplace are retired in real-time in our Impact Registry for full traceability, and a certificate documents your purchase. Proceeds benefit project developers directly, enabling them to maintain and expand their project activity and deliver more climate and sustainable development impact.
How it works
Individuals can keep it simple and use average monthly estimates* for their country or use the WWF UK footprint calculator for a more detailed calculation. Businesses can refer to the GHG Protocol’s Emissions Calculator to calculate their carbon footprint.
Then simply add the quantity of carbon credits to the cart and follow checkout instructions.
1 tonne/month or less
Most of European countries, emerging economies and developing countries
2 tonnes/month
Australia, Canada, Estonia, Luxembourg, United States + several oil exporting countries
3 tonnes/month or more
Curacao, Kuwait, Qatar, Trinidad & Tobago
*(Data from World Bank estimates of CO2 emissions per capita)
