One Potential Snag…
To date, we are still short of reaching our funding goal to make the book – and now there are less than 10 days left. Want to help make sure it goes into production? Here’s how you can help:
Make any pledge on our Kickstarter page here to help us reach our funding goal Share the campaign for the book on social media or with friends Instead of ordering one copy, order a bulk-pack of 10 or 50 (branded with your logo) and give to clients or friends
It’s zero-risk to pledge on Kickstarter, and credit cards don’t get charged unless we reach our funding goal.
on To reach net-zero by 2050, immediate action and $9.2 trillion in annual investment is required, or about 7-9% of global GDP. This would be $3.5 trillion annually more than today, which in 2020 was equal to roughly:
50% of corporate profits25% of tax revenues7% of household spending
This infographic sponsored by Carbon Streaming Corporation shows how carbon credits can help accelerate a net-zero future by funding climate action.
Closing the Funding Gap With Carbon Credits
Carbon credits play a vital role in channelling finance to help close this funding gap. Here are some ways in which carbon credits can be used: Thanks to a growing number of initiatives listed below, 2023 is anticipated to bring greater credibility and transparency to the carbon credit market.

Not Every Carbon Credit is Equal
Identifying high-quality carbon credits is important because not every type of credit offers the same scope of benefits. Carbon credit buyers look for credits that offer tangible benefits that go beyond CO₂ reduction or removal, such as:
Advancing Sustainable Development GoalsCreating jobs in local communitiesProtecting biodiversityProviding education and job training
Often, credits that offer these types of benefits command a price premium. At the same time, demand for carbon credits is expected to increase. Within the decade, the value of the voluntary carbon market could grow from $2 billion up to $50 billion. Voluntary carbon markets refer to the transactions in which carbon credits are purchased by corporate and other buyers that voluntarily (not required by a regulatory act) want to compensate for their emissions or advance sustainability goals.
