Carbon Offsetting

Carbon offsetting is a climate action strategy that involves compensating for greenhouse gas emissions produced by an individual, organization, or activity by funding equivalent carbon dioxide saving projects elsewhere. This can include initiatives such as reforestation, renewable energy projects, or energy efficiency programs that reduce or capture carbon emissions. The goal of carbon offsetting is to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint by balancing emitted carbon with reductions or removals of carbon from the atmosphere. Through purchasing carbon offsets, entities can financially support environmental projects that contribute to mitigating climate change while acknowledging and addressing their own emissions.
