Carbon Emissions
We are happy to give our clients the opportunity to offset
their Carbon Emissions that result from their international
flight with us through Climate Care.
We believe that Climate Care is a highly respected
organisation and one that is in the forefront of emission reduction
projects and making it easy for us all to repair the damage our
activities do to the climate. Climate Care does this by offsetting
the greenhouse gas emissions. The offsetting is done by
developing a range of projects in renewable energy, energy
efficiency and rainforest restoration which not only fight climate
change but bring benefits to communities round the world.
The following has been taken from Climate Care’s web
site and may help our clients more fully understand the role
Climate Care fulfil.
“Climate Care believes that rigorous standards for the
voluntary carbon market are essential. We have contributed to
the development of the voluntary Gold Standard as a basis for
ensuring carbon reduction projects with strong sustainable
development benefits, and we expect to accredit projects with this
standard in the future.
This means that all the emissions reductions that you pay for
go over and above what would have happened without our
intervention. The case for additionality is often easier to prove in
developing countries that do not have sophisticated climate change
policies in place and are constrained by lack of access to capital.
We believe that our customers want their money to fund
CO2 reductions that go over and above those that governments
are already required to make. That is why we do our projects
outside countries that have legally binding commitments under
the Kyoto Protocol.”
