Your learning route
11 lessons. One clearer starting point.
01Start with the unit
What are carbon credits?
A clear introduction to the units, projects, records, and claims commonly described as carbon credits.
Read lesson02Compensation and context
How carbon offsets work
Learn why offsets are used, what they are intended to fund, and why they should not be confused with direct emissions reductions.
Read lesson03Questions before conclusions
What makes a carbon credit higher integrity?
A practical framework for thinking about additionality, quantification, permanence, tracking, safeguards, and double counting.
Read lesson04Activity is not quality
Carbon project types
Understand the broad difference between emissions avoidance, reductions, and removals—and why a project type is only the first part of a research question.
Read lesson05Follow the record
How carbon registries work
Learn what a registry can show about issuance, ownership, transfer, retirement, and the public record behind a unit.
Read lesson06Say what happened
Making clearer carbon claims
A practical guide to separating emissions inventories, direct reductions, target setting, credit use, and public-facing climate language.
Read lesson07More than a co-benefit
Biodiversity in carbon-credit conversations
Learn why biodiversity needs its own evidence trail when a carbon project involves ecosystems, species, land, or water.
Read lesson08A long-term living system
Forest restoration and carbon
Understand why forest restoration is more than tree planting, and how to ask better questions about climate, biodiversity, and carbon-credit claims.
Read lesson09Traceability, not a shortcut
Blockchain records and carbon-credit retirement
Learn what a blockchain-based record may show after a carbon-credit pathway is completed—and what it cannot prove on its own.
Read lesson10Climate action with ecosystems
Nature-Based Solutions and carbon
Explore how protecting, restoring, and sustainably managing ecosystems can relate to climate action without collapsing carbon, biodiversity, and community outcomes into one claim.
Read lesson11Leakage, vintage, methods and claims
Carbon-credit integrity questions
A practical local guide to examining leakage, vintage, methodology, public records, remaining uncertainty, and the language used after carbon-credit activity.
