The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has set up a new website, which allows business and individuals to calculate their own carbon footprint and offset their carbon emissions through﻿ buying Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) from the online Climate Neutral Now store. The CERs are taken from a list of 7,900 emission reduction projects, in 107 developing countries, as part of the UNFCCC's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The CDM is a the second half of the century programme under the Kyoto Protocol that sells carbon credits from low carbon initiatives. Through ﻿﻿buying CERs, companies and individuals can take responsibility for their carbon emissions, and offset their carbon emissions to renewable energy projects and initiatives around the world.
