Social Impact Carbon Credit
Social Impact Carbon Credit
Background
In accordance with the Kyoto and Paris protocols, the concept of “social carbon credits” has emerged as a means to harness social impact within carbon projects. This concept aims to unlock human potential and capital, particularly benefiting marginalized communities. It promotes projects in developing countries, supported by first-world OECD nations, to offset their carbon emissions while fostering sustainable development and economic growth.
The UNFCCC carbon credit scheme allows for the inclusion of social impact offsets, facilitating investments in sustainable development initiatives and technology transfer in developing nations. These offsets, similar to carbon credits, are available for purchase by governments and corporations, providing a pathway for monetization.
