Why Verification Matters<\/h4>\n

Each project we support aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs)\u201417 interconnected priorities focused on ending poverty, reducing inequity, tackling climate change, and preventing environmental degradation. \u201cThey\u2019re guiding principles for what good sustainable development looks like in its truest form,\u201d says Court. \u201cThey reflect the big-picture challenges we need to address in order to survive as a species in the long run.\u201d The SDGs encompass a wide range of issues, from clean drinking water and food security to building infrastructure and inclusive societies.<\/p>\n

When selecting projects, we prioritize those that check the box on as many SDGs as possible. A project that builds solar power plants<\/a> in a community reliant on imported fossil fuels doesn\u2019t just combat climate change and create a clean energy source, it also provides education and employment opportunities for local people, leading to economic growth and security.<\/p>\n

The projects we invest in are also meticulously monitored using scientific models to determine how much carbon they reduce over time, Court explains. And just as important, projects are independently evaluated by a third-party verification entity to ensure their impact is credible. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like the tax man,\u201d he says. \u201cThey come in to make sure you did your math right.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the question of greenwashing, which inevitably comes up in conversations about sustainability and carbon offsetting best practices. \u201cThe overall idea is transparency, accuracy, and being careful not to overstate positive effects,\u201d says Court. \u201cThe ultimate solution is, of course, decarbonization, but it comes back to doing what we can, when we can, with what we have\u2014and offsetting is a great tool at our current disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
