The future
What is Carbon Credit?
Carbon credits are permits that allow the owner to emit a certain amount of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide. They're part of cap-and-trade programs where companies get a set number of credits, which decline over time, and can sell any excess to another company. This creates a financial incentive for companies to reduce emissions, as those who exceed their cap must buy more credits, while those who reduce their emissions can sell their excess and make money. Proponents argue this system leads to measurable emission reductions and cleaner technologies.
Industrial and Technological Solutions
From harnessing wind and solar in developing nations to capturing methane from landfills and redesigning chemical processes, this climate action toolkit tackles greenhouse gas emissions in diverse ways. Energy-efficient stoves and lamps empower homes in developing countries, while tech like direct air capture directly grabs carbon from the atmosphere. Cutting-edge solutions and practical measures join forces to offer a powerful arsenal in our fight for a cleaner future.
Enviromental Impact
REDD+ tackles climate change through a four-pronged approach: protecting existing carbon sinks like forests, restoring depleted ecosystems, implementing better land management practices, and promoting sustainable agriculture that reduces emissions and enhances soil carbon storage. It's a comprehensive strategy addressing both deforestation and emissions-heavy land use.
