Overview
• About Climate Positive
• Carbon neutrality
• Carbon offset project overview
About Climate Positive
• Not-for-profit focused on
action & education on global warming
• Established to:
– Stop the onset of climate change
– Provide tools to measure, reduce and
offset carbon emissions with accredited
projects
• Australia’s only tax-deductible not-forprofit working with accredited offset
projects
Carbon neutrality
When practices contribute zero carbon
dioxide emissions to the atmosphere
• Households
• Operations
• Products
• Events
Measure – Reduce – Offset
Carbon footprint calculation
 Qualifying calculations and clarifying assumptions
builds credibility
 Partnering through the supply-chain reinforces strategy

Reduce emissions
• Review processes, procedures and
products to identify emission reductions
• Switching to green power
• Ongoing monitoring and management
• Cost savings
Offset residual emissions
Carbon offsetting is the act of purchasing
greenhouse gas emission reductions,
which have occurred somewhere else,
because you are unable or unwilling to
reduce your own greenhouse gas
emissions.
A mechanism to deal with residual
emissions that are impossible to reduce,
not a micro license to pollute
So what makes a good offset?
• Additionality
• Verified and accredited by independent
third-party
– Greenhouse Friendly, Gold Standard,
REC’s, Voluntary Carbon Standard
• Projects which displace fossil fuel use
• Projects assist transition to low carbon
economy
• Transparency of ownership
Offsets are not all offsets
the same
Prevention
•Low project risk
•Proven technologies
•Specific projects require
assessment
V.

•High project risk with
