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-for-profit 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

1. Accredited emission reductions for 100% emissions produced

2. Additional restoration of biodiverse forests– Building wildlife corridors for habitat

– Building resilience for biodiversity

– Reducing salinity

– Creating carbon sink

3. Additional education to embed awareness and action
