The Paris Agreement: Main Components
The Paris Agreement is not yet sufficient to address the threat of climate change, and global greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, threatening more severe and disruptive weather including storms, flooding, heatwaves and droughts.
How the EU ETS Works
This graphic illustrates how carbon trading actually works under the EU Emissions Trading System. Company B’s emissions are above its free allocation, meaning it doesn’t have enough allowances to comply with the system…
The Difference Between Reforestation & Afforestation
Emissions removal projects directly take CO2 out of the atmosphere through nature-based projects or human technology.
Carbon Credit Prices in H1 2024
Average carbon credit prices in the voluntary carbon markets have shown signs of stabilising in the first half of 2024, after a clear downward trend that persisted through 2023, data from information provider AlliedOffsets shows.
International Climate Efforts Since 1990
Climate efforts since 1990 have centred around the United Nations process, while in parallel, the scientific understanding of climate change has advanced, and been widely disseminated, through the IPCC’s regular reports.
A Look Behind the Numbers on Carbon Credit Retirements
Global carbon credit retirements fell by 10.9% in 2023 compared with the previous year, according to data from AlliedOffsets – a major data source for carbon credits.
Green Hydrogen: Clean Fuel of the Future
Green hydrogen involves producing hydrogen gas using renewable or other low-carbon electricity. For example, electricity generated by wind farms or solar parks is used to power an electrolyzer, which chemically splits water into its constituent parts, hydrogen and oxygen.
Emissions Avoidance & Removals Projects
Emissions avoidance and emissions removal are different approaches to reducing the atmospheric buildup of greenhouse gases.
Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions
These infographics concisely define Scope 1, 2 & 3 carbon emissions and provide practical examples for each as part of a trio of visuals.
