What is Carbon credit? Carbon credit - Explained

Carbon credits are essentially tradable permits or certificates that give you the right to emit 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide or any other equivalent greenhouse gas.

Buying carbon credits compensates for the unavoidable emissions you create today by financing projects that reduce or absorb carbon emission anywhere in the world.

Moreover, your credits help finance projects that would not otherwise happen so as well as offsetting your emissions you are also supporting more sustainable forms of growth.
