Climate Care has delivered 1 million tonnes of CO₂ reductions - the same as taking 300,000 cars off the road for a year.

This landmark achievement is simply the beginning, with next years sales expected to fund reductions equivalent to an impressive 1% of the entire UK's annual carbon footprint.

"This highlights the real impact that voluntary funding of credible carbon offsets can have in delivering actual emissions reductions.", said Climate Care's founder Mike Mason. "If we are in a hurry to tackle climate change, and we need to make real reductions quickly, voluntary offsets need to be recognised as a core part of everyone’s reductions strategy."

The launch of two robust standards in 2006, designed specifically for the voluntary offset market, shows how quickly clear quality assurance is being developed. Climate Care now has 93% of our offset portfolio, by volume, that is submitted or being prepared for submission under these internationally recognised standards: the United Nations CDM; Gold Standard for Voluntary Offsets (launched May 06); Voluntary Carbon Standard (launched March 06).

Thank you to all our customers and supporters for this huge achievement. In the past 10 years you have helped to fund over 50 projects in 23 countries - not only cutting carbon but transforming thousands of lives for the better.
