Climate change is already affecting the world, with extreme weather conditions such as drought, heat waves, heavy rain, floods and landslides creating widescale economic and social issues.In order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, a threshold the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change suggests is safe, carbon neutrality by 2050 is essential.Climate change experts agree that the best way to achieve this goal is by reducing and offsetting carbon emissions.Our project uses various technical and commercial innovations to facilitate the widescale adoption of purchasing relevant carbon offsets.Our project has other potential wider benefits, including economic, social and political, which are also presented for consideration.With Innovate UK's support, we hope to further develop our innovation, which has the potential to help deliver on Government policy, as well as provide new solutions urgently needed for the global battle against climate change.

气候变化已经在影响世界，干旱、热浪、暴雨、洪水和山体滑坡等极端天气条件造成了广泛的经济和社会问题。为了将全球变暖控制在1.5摄氏度以内，政府间气候变化专门委员会建议的阈值是安全的，到2050年实现碳中和是必不可少的。气候变化专家一致认为，实现这一目标的最佳方式是减少和抵消碳排放。我们的项目使用各种技术和商业创新来促进购买相关碳抵消的广泛采用。我们的项目还有其他潜在的更广泛的好处，包括经济、社会和政治，这些也被提交给考虑。在创新英国的支持下，我们希望进一步发展我们的创新，这有可能帮助实现政府的政策，并为全球应对气候变化的斗争提供迫切需要的新解决方案。
