carbon offset projects

Climate change, is one of the most profound challenges of modern times. So why is it that there is such a serious shortage of greenhouse gas experts, climate-change strategists, and professionals in the field? After all, climate change will certainly affect all of our lifestyles and the way we do business. And while it’s undoubtedly important to develop rigid, international standards for greenhouse gas monitoring and management, it’s equally as important to have skilled workers in place to ensure these standards are put into practice correctly.

How can individuals and small businesses ensure that the money they spend offsetting their carbon really reaches the people who need it most? Mercy Corps has an answer.

Currently many carbon offset projects are often too arduous or expensive to reach small communities who are desperately in need in developing countries. As a result, those communities remain neglected without a potentially profitable and environmentally friendly project opportunity.
