Carbon Offsetting Glossary
Learning about carbon offsetting requires an understanding of several glossary definitions. Carbon offsetting involves investing in projects that help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to compensate for one's own carbon footprint.
Additionality
Additionality refers to the extra emissions reductions achieved through a carbon offset project compared to a business-as-usual scenario.
Biodiversity
Carbon credits are generated through projects that preserve or restore ecosystems, enhancing their ability to sequester carbon and protect biodiversity.
Carbon Budget
Shifting away from fossil fuels and embracing renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower can significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
Carbon
Melting ice caps and glaciers cause rising sea levels, endangering coastal communities and biodiversity, necessitating urgent global action.
