‍WHAT IS A CARBON CREDIT?

A carbon credit represents a reduction of 1 metric ton in greenhouse gas emissions to compensate for 1 metric ton of emissions made somewhere else. A credit can be bought, sold or traded before it is “retired,” meaning it cannot be traded again, assuring that only the buyer can claim emissions cuts associated with that credit.

What carbon credits are not

A license to pollute:Carbon credits are a “bridge” for emitters working to reduce their emissions, not a pass for business as usual. In fact, companies that invest in nature-based credits are leaders, not laggards: Three recent studies found that companies that bought voluntary carbon credits did more across the board to cut emissions than companies that did not.

A silver bullet:Carbon projects alone will not solve climate change — they are a vital way to flatten the carbon curve while the world transitions away from fossil fuels.

Doomed by technical challenges:Carbon projects have been implemented in various forms for more than two decades, passing from the experimental to the commonplace thanks to testing and scientific advancements. Over the past several years, science and technology have advanced to ensure that carbon projects are having their intended benefits.

A ‘land grab’:High-quality carbon projects are necessarily built on thefree, prior and informed consent of local communitiesin the project area. These projects do not separate people from their lands, but rather are predicated upon strengthening and upholding their rights to their lands.
