The market for carbon offsets has a strong system of third-party verification and Climate Neutral only allows offsets that are generated from the most trustworthy and scientifically rigorous standards. The current offset standards that Climate Neutral allows can be seen as follows:
• Verified Carbon Standard
• American Carbon Registry
• Gold Standard
• Clean Development Mechanism
• Climate Action Reserve
These programs help ensure the integrity of offsetting projects by verifying that carbon credits meet the big six requirements: real, permanent, quantifiable, verifiable, enforceable, and additional.
