Demystifying the Voluntary Carbon Market With Cool Effect

The market for carbon offsets is projected to be worth upward of $50 billion in 2030 as more businesses turn to the voluntary carbon market as a tool for meeting ambitious climate commitments and supporting decarbonization efforts. With carbon offsets and their projects becoming increasingly popular, the amount of different buzzwords and project types are increasing as well, so much so that it can be difficult to decide which project to support and understand the tangible and verifiable impact offsets have. After all, not all carbon offsets are created equally — but what does that actually mean? In the first of our five-part series, Demystifying the Carbon Market, we break down and answer a very important question: What is a High Quality Carbon Offset? The carbon market as a whole, and offsets’ place in it, can often feel overwhelming and confusing. With continued growth and investment into the voluntary carbon market, it’s important to understand where your money is going and how carbon projects are making a verifiable impact for the planet and its people.Other videos in the series will be released weekly and will cover topics including: Types of carbon projectsHow do I get started with carbon offsetting?Why are carbon prices inconsistent?The do’s and don’ts of carbon offsetting“What our climate needs right now is urgency. The voluntary carbon market provides an efficient mechanism to direct funds toward communities most impacted by climate change in the global south, and can help us accelerate the path toward climate change mitigation,” said Dee Lawrence, Co-Founder and Director of Cool Effect. “Over the past two decades, I’ve seen first-hand how truly transformational carbon finance can be for both the environment and communities in need, and we’re committed to sharing that knowledge with businesses and corporations who can support and extend that positive impact.
