Climate action subscription - individual - open term
Every European is responsible for an average of 8.6 t of greenhouse gases per year. This corresponds to around 0,72 t of greenhouse gases per month.
With our open term climate action subscription you can offset the 0,72 t of greenhouse gases month after month for a total of 12 months with certified carbon reduction projects and get engaged in climate action in a tangible and effective way.
To do this, first select the carbon reduction project type you prefer to offset your emissions with.
After placing your order, you will receive your climate action certificate in pdf format by e-mail within one working day. This certificate confirms your subscription and the corresponding carbon offset activity. It also provides more information about the carbon reduction projects you are funding.
Each month of your subscription term, your climate action contribution will be automatically deducted from the payment method you have selected.
The subscription does not end automatically. The subscription can be terminated at any time and without notice via e-mail to service@goclimateaction.com. Our monthly debits will end immediately.
There are numerous project type options to offset your personal carbon footprint. The most common project types include:
- Projects to reduce or sequester carbon, i.e. by the conservation or reforestation of forests
- Renewable energy projects: i.e. wind, hydro and solar energy installations
- Energy efficiency and small energy projects in households: these include i.e. family biogas plants or efficient cookstoves. These projects do not only contribute to carbon reductions, but also result in high social benefits.
We offer carbon reduction projects from all three aforementioned project types under the designations "Forest", "Renewable" and "Social+". Behind each of these 3 project types are 3 concrete carbon reduction projects.
If you select the project type "Forest", the three projects we have included in this category will be funded. If you choose "Mix", then we divide your climate action contribution into all 3 project categories. You find an overview of the 9 carbon reduction projects we support here.
At GoClimateAction we support 9 carbon reduction projects in parts of the world that are already massively affected by the global climate crisis, but have so far contributed comparatively little to human-induced climate change.
For the sake of simplicity we have structured these 9 projects in the three categories "Forest", "Renewable" and"Social+". In each category, you will find 3 individual projects.
Forest
- Forest protection in Brazil - Portel
- Forest protection in Peru - Madre de Dios
- Forest protection in Kenya - Kasigau Wildlife Corridor
Renewable
- Hydropower in the DR Congo - Virunga
- Solar energy in South Africa - Bokpoort
- Wind energy in Indonesia - Sidrap

For the climate on our earth, it is irrelevant in which geography carbon emissions or other greenhouse gases are emitted or avoided. The harmful effect of greenhouse gases has no boundaries.
For this reason, emissions that are caused by our western lifestyle in Europe can be offset by emission reductions certified by independent auditors in a completely different place on earth, e.g. in a developing country. This mechanism is widely called carbon compensation or carbon offsetting.
The principle of carbon offsetting is well-known all over the world and has been used by thousands of companies and millions of private individuals for many years.
