Climate Action Reserve (CAR)

The Climate Action Reserve (CAR) is a non-profit organization in the United States that focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It establishes standards for measuring and verifying carbon offset projects, like reforestation or energy efficiency improvements. By creating a reliable system for tracking these projects, CAR helps businesses and governments offset their emissions in a credible way. This contributes to climate change mitigation by ensuring that efforts to reduce carbon, such as investing in cleaner technologies, are counted accurately and can be used in various compliance programs and voluntary markets.
