Resources to assist businesses and individuals to measure, offset and reduce their emissions.
Go carbon neutral in 3 steps
1. Measure carbon footprint
The Institute offers a straight-forward way for people and businesses to measure their carbon footprint.
2. Offset emissions
Offset your emissions with carbon offset certificates that finance projects to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
3. Reduce emissions
There is a free emission reduction program template for businesses, and guidance for individuals, to reduce emissions.
Business Carbon Footprint
The Institute provides free tutorials and templates to assist small and medium sized companies to measure their carbon footprint quickly and accurately.
The GHG Accounting Guide enables you to conduct a proper GHG emissions survey using recognised standards, ensuring that you have the correct procedures and documentation in place.
There are spreadsheet templates based on emission factors from the EPA and the UNFCC.
Personal Carbon Footprint
You can go carbon neutral right away using average emission calculations or you can download a free spreadsheet based on EPA emission data for a more detailed analysis.
It only takes a few minutes to check your footprint
Verified Carbon Neutral Projects reduce and remove carbon from the atmosphere that would otherwise stay there for thousands of years. They slow down the rate of global warming, buying us time to make the transition to low carbon economies.
With guidance from our tutorials, companies can ensure they are following GHG accounting standards correctly.
The carbon trading market
Setup under the Kyoto Protocol, the carbon market helps companies and individuals to meet their targeted emission limits.
Offset your emissions
You can now buy Carbon Offset Certificates through the Climate Change Institute from a range of genuine projects that offer the best value on the market.
14,000 climate scientists have issued a warning that we may soon hit the point of no return where climate change becomes irreversible no matter what actions we take.
We cannot stop climate change if we just rely on government regulation. Consumers and investors must also support climate the genuine climate friendly companies
If we do not support companies that have invested in reducing and offsetting their emissions, then eventually their higher emitting competitors may put them out of business
