Carbon credits drive investment into climate change solutions. They help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy, and are capable of delivering immediate and lasting carbon reductions. Solving the climate crisis cannot occur without deep investment in projects that drive systemic change in our economies.

For an example, let’s take a look at flying. We can take steps to reduce the amount of air travel, but a certain amount is still going to be inevitable - how many people do you know that would be willing to never travel by plane? Between now and the time we figure out how to create electric planes or develop clean forms of transcontinental travel, we are left with no choice but to purchase plane tickets for our best friend’s wedding that’s being held 2,000 miles away. Buying quality offsets for the emissions we can’t reduce will always be better than doing nothing at all.
