Barrows reduces Absolute Co2 emissions while growing revenue

In early 2010 Barrows, retail marketing specialist with its head office in Durban, South Africa commissioned Global Carbon Exchange (GCX) to conduct a carbon footprint assessment of their business. The concept of sustainability is nothing new at Barrows; it’s something the company has been passionate about for nearly a decade and significant strides have been made during this time to ensure the company consistently enhanced their environmental strategy.

GCX partners in World Cup Offset Project

Global Carbon Exchange is the official local partner to Do-inc and Lemnis Lighting for the LED retrofit programme that will be used as one of the carbon offset projects for the FIFA World Cup 2010.

“This is a watershed project for GCX and we are proud to be associated with the World Cup 2010 in South Africa while being amongst the first South African carbon project initiators to undertake a programmatic CDM project”, said GCX Director Kevin James.

Green Dollars pour into Africa on back of pioneering carbon offset deal

Nedbank announced today that its partnership with Wildlife Works Inc. to make available to the international market African carbon credits has proved extremely successful. The demand for carbon credits from the international business community is extremely strong.

In November 2009, Wildlife Works Inc. and Nedbank entered into a business arrangement whereby Nedbank acquired carbon credits from Wildlife Works Inc. for on-sale to the international and South African business community. More than 2,5 million tonnes of carbon was made available through the avoided deforestation of the Kasigau Corridor guaranteed until 2026.

Where things stand on the Copenhagen Accord and international climate politics

After the Copenhagen Accord was “noted” by the UN in December, there was a great deal of insta-analysis. In truth, there was no real way to evaluate the Accord because the meat of it—the emission-reduction commitments from participating countries—was blank. Literally:
The deadline for participating countries to submit their commitments was Jan. 31—yesterday. So, how do things look now that the cards are on the table? Where do we stand on international efforts to address climate change?
