Offsetting to combat global poverty
We are working to finance offset projects that combat global poverty
CarbonAided works in partnership with charities, development organisations and low carbon innovators to develop projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help the world's poor to adapt to the consequences of climate change.
Our GHG reduction projects are independently verified as being compliant with respected standards for developing offset projects (Clean Development Mechanism, Joint Implementation, Gold Standard, Voluntary Carbon Standard). At a minimum, this means that our projects create real and permanent savings in GHG emissions that are additional to "business-as-usual".
We develop two types of offset projects:
- Sustainability projects - these projects save GHG emissions and improve the health or standard of living of poor communities in the world
- Low carbon innovation projects - these projects are the emerging low carbon technologies that are needed to replace polluting forms of manufacture and energy and stop global climate change
We also raise funds for and donate 10% of our profits to projects managed by charities including Christian Aid and Practical Action that help the most vulnerable people in the world adapt to the consequences of climate change.
