Offset Project Protocols

Offset Project Protocols are standardized guidelines for creating environmental projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases, such as planting forests or capturing methane. These protocols ensure the projects are credible, quantifiable, and measurable, so that each carbon offset purchased genuinely contributes to combating climate change. They establish rules for project design, implementation, monitoring, and verification, maintaining transparency and consistency across different initiatives. Essentially, they provide a trusted framework that assures buyers their investment in offsets is effective and environmentally meaningful.
