The United Nations Carbon Offset Platform is an e-commerce tool designed to facilitate the purchase of carbon credits, specifically Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), from projects within the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) [1]. The platform is designed for broad accessibility, allowing various entities to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions. According to official documentation and platform descriptions, carbon credits can be purchased by individuals (citizens), companies, and organizations. These buyers use the platform to support projects that reduce or remove emissions, such as renewable energy or reforestation initiatives, to counterbalance their own carbon footprints. The voluntary nature of this platform ensures that any entity—whether a private citizen, a corporate body, or a non-governmental organization—can participate in climate action by retiring credits to offset unavoidable emissions.
