𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯:
A carbon credit is a tradable certificate that represents the offset of 1 ton of CO2 or CO2 equivalent. These certificates are issued for projects that have verified carbon reduction or removal from the atmosphere.

𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘉𝘺:
Governmental policy, environmental awareness, and market forces.

𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘉𝘺:
Standards set by Carbon Registries and National Governments.

𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴:
Carbon credits can be issued for various activities that involve the reduction, protection, or removal of greenhouse gases.

𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺:
To be issued carbon credits, a project must be methodologically measured, reported, and verified. The quantified reduction or removal should have taken place, and in cases of removal, storage solutions are required to be sustainable.

𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦:
An organization or community can carry out carbon offset activities such as energy efficiency improvements or reforestation projects that meet standards set by registries like the Verified Carbon Standard or the Gold Standard, and can be certified and issued carbon credits.

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐬𝐞𝐭
𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯:
A carbon offset involves a project or activity that reduces or removes carbon emissions directly from the atmosphere to compensate for emissions elsewhere that are unavoidable.

𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘉𝘺:
Environmental awareness and social responsibility.

𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘉𝘺:
Not regulated.

𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴:
Any activity that reduces or removes CO2/CO2e from the atmosphere.

𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺:
Any activity that demonstrably reduces or removes CO2/CO2e can be classified as a carbon offset.

𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦:
Organizations and individuals can carry out socially responsible activities to offset carbon emissions for the betterment of the environment.

This infographic serves to clarify the specific characteristics and regulatory frameworks associated with carbon credits and offsets, highlighting their respective roles in combating climate change.
