World Expedition - booklet - Index

We believe it is very important that our
travellers are aware that just neutralising fuel
burning in association with flights is not true
neutralising.
2. The types of carbon credits purchased:
There are a good many “junk” credits that
neither reduce emissions nor are market
priced. Climate Friendly only purchase
independently verified renewable energy
credits that meet the highest international
standards such as the Gold Standard and the
Kyoto Protocol Clean Development
Mechanism to guarantee that the emission
savings actually occur.
It is important to keep in mind that when a half
measure on the climate impact of your flight is
combined with a cheap carbon credit the end
pricing will be significantly cheaper.
If you feel that the cost of your carbon credit
is too expensive we believe it is better for you
to commit to just half of the offset rather than
pay for a cheap ‘junk’ credit.
