Blue Carbon Education
Understanding the dynamic world of carbon and carbon markets is key to identifying opportunities and unlocking the full potential of The Bahamas' unique natural resources.
What is ‘Blue Carbon’? What are ‘Carbon Credits’ and ‘Carbon Offsets’? CML, through authoritative third-party sources and our global climate partners, has assembled a library of links to informative, educational resources below.
What is Blue Carbon?
Blue carbon is the term for carbon captured by the world’s ocean and coastal ecosystems.
What are Carbon Credits?
Carbon credits are a type of traded credit intended to offset a given amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and often come in the form of permits and certificates.
What are Carbon Offsets?
A carbon offset credit is a transferrable instrument certified by governments or independent certification bodies to represent an emission reduction of one metric tonne of CO2, or an equivalent amount of other GHGs.
What are Carbon Principles?
The Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) are a global benchmark for high-integrity carbon credits that set rigorous thresholds on disclosure and sustainable development.
