Understand the climate problem — and the market solving it
Interactive, plain-language explainers on warming, emission pathways, the carbon cycle and how credible carbon credits work.
How much the planet has already warmed

2024 · +1.45°C
Warmest year on record to date.
Three futures, decided this decade
Indexed global emissions from today to 2050 under each scenario. The gap between them is what verified climate finance is for.

Regulators, lenders and buyers are asking for evidence, not intent. Organisations that can prove their impact will keep their licence to operate — and their cost of capital.
Sea level rise
Coastal cities and delta farmland face permanent inundation.
Extreme heat
Heatwaves push outdoor work and crops past survivable limits.
Water stress
Glacier retreat destabilises river systems millions depend on.
Extreme weather
Storms and floods intensify, raising insurance and rebuild costs.
Food security
Yield losses hit staple crops and smallholder livelihoods first.
Transition risk
Carbon-exposed businesses lose market access and capital.
Every tonne avoided today compounds. Delay raises both the cost of mitigation and the volume of damage that can no longer be prevented.
Where a tonne of CO₂ actually goes
Understanding the cycle explains why avoiding emissions and removing carbon are complementary — and why both need measurement, not estimates.
Emission
Fuel combustion, industry and land-use change release CO₂ into the atmosphere.
Atmosphere
CO₂ mixes globally and traps outgoing heat, driving surface warming.
Ocean uptake
Oceans absorb roughly a quarter of emissions, at the cost of acidification.
Biosphere sink
Forests and soils absorb carbon — a sink that weakens as warming continues.
The mechanics of carbon markets, explained plainly
No jargon, no hand-waving — how credits are created, verified, traded and retired.
1 credit = 1 tonne CO₂e, verified and serialised.
