Introducing REDD Carbon Credits
What are REDD Carbon Credits?
REDD stands for:
'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation'.
A REDD carbon credit is a carbon market mechanism created to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.
REDD Carbon Credits
Investing in the world's most precious resource
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation is the most cost-effective, immediate and important strategy within the mitigation of climate change.
Beyond Carbon
A full spectrum of benefits
A few years ago, fossil fuels were regarded as the world's most precious resource. Today, the most valuable investment anyone can make is in protecting the world's rainforests.
Deforestation of the world's tropical rainforests represents a double-edged sword, due to the tonnes of carbon emitted by the deforestation itself, coupled with the loss of a critical carbon abatement resource.
Carbon Planet REDD addresses this urgent need for carbon emission mitigation while offering a full spectrum of collateral benefits including reducing biodiversity loss and providing ethical alternative employment to forest-dwelling communities.
Carbon Planet recognises that a sustainable solution must offer a full spectrum of benefits, and be founded on sound scientific integrity, business acumen and visionary insight.
Tracking the global values shift
The world has seen a rapid shift from revering fossil fuels as our main energy source to accepting that their use contributes to global warming. Now the world is urgently seeking solutions. Fossil fuels have long been viewed as the 'culprits for climate change' and reducing their use has been considered as the only solution to our current global warming crisis. Governments globally have mandated that businesses manage their carbon liabilities. These legislative moves address only a fraction of the problem.
Rainforest clearing represents the world's second greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions . Rainforests offer our greatest and most cost effective opportunity for mitigating carbon emissions.
