To ensure that carbon pricing mechanisms deliver optimal benefits, existing and upcoming voluntary carbon offset projects in Kenya need to be ‘nested’ or integrated into the national system to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). This ‘nesting’ will enh...
Our previous project, The Pooled US Forestry Projects, involves reforestation projects across the US, specifically in Texas and Arkansas. Since its beginning, this program has helped to sequester over 500,000 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions (or, in human terms, this offsets over 80,000 cars’ ...
And for every 10 tonnes CO2 offset, we plant 1 tree in our Kenya project in the Great Rift Valley – supporting developing communities, biodiversity and environmental education. In this way Carbon Footprint's offsetting not only reduces climate impact but also accelerates zero-carbon aviation ...
