What is a Carbon Credit?

REDD+ Matavén

A carbon credit represents one ton of CO2 or other greenhouse gases that a project has removed or prevented from entering the atmosphere. To ensure real environmental impact, projects must meet rigorous validation and verification processes under internationally recognized standards, such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standard.

Once earned, these credits can be sold to companies or individuals looking to offset emissions they cannot fully eliminate. By purchasing carbon credits, you are reducing your carbon footprint while also supporting critical projects that protect forests and uplift Indigenous communities.

Every carbon credit from REDD+ Matavén is independently verified, ensuring that your contribution leads to measurable emission reductions and real benefits for both the environment and local communities.

Why Carbon
Markets Matter

Carbon markets enable businesses and individuals to buy and sell carbon credits, providing a financial incentive to reduce emissions. These markets promote transparency and accountability, as each credit is carefully tracked and verified to ensure it represents real reductions in greenhouse gases.

Carbon credits are a crucial tool in the fight against climate change. They provide essential funding for projects like REDD+ Matavén, which focus on stopping deforestation, protecting ecosystems, and promoting sustainable development. By participating in carbon markets, companies and individuals can contribute to global environmental conservation while fostering economic opportunities for local communities.

A carbon credit is an investment
in the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions, supporting the protection of
biodiversity and empowering communities
through sustainable development.
