Climate change in Germany is leading to long-term impacts on agriculture in Germany, more intense heatwaves and cold waves, flash and coastal flooding, and reduced water availability.
Global warming potential (GWP) is a way of measuring the heat absorbed by any greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, as a multiple of the heat that would be absorbed by the same mass of carbon dioxide. GWP is 1 for CO₂.
Carbon offsets are a reduction or removal of emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. Offsets are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e).
Carbon credits are a type of permit that represent one tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. They can be purchased by an individual or company to make up for carbon dioxide emissions that come from industrial production, delivery vehicles, or travel. Carbon credits are one way to offset your carbon footprint and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
