If you are new to carbon offsets, or would like some more information on climate change and sustainable development, then this glossary of terms will help you:

Carbon Credits/Offsets - Carbon credits are certificates that represent a reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Projects that prevent or remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere generate these credits. They are then sold to companies or individuals to "offset" any unavoidable emissions for which they are responsible. One carbon credit is the equivalent to a preventing one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) from entering the atmosphere.
IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the most authoritative source of climate change information. Under the direction of the United National Environmental Programme (UNEP), this Panel provides advice to political and business leaders alike.
National CO2 Emissions - This resource shows, by country: population growth, birth rate, death rate, gross CO2 emissions and CO2 emissions per capita.
Triple Bottom Line - This is the concept that businesses can and are more profitable when they take steps to build environmental and social considerations into their business. It is also called Planet, People and Profit.
VCS Standard - One of the most recognized standards in the voluntary carbon market place and makes up a considerable amount of the market share of voluntary carbon credits.
