For individuals, the purchase of carbon credits can be an excellent investment opportunity, in view of what was mentioned above. The demand is huge and the price is likely to increase substantially in the coming years. In addition, individuals can reduce their own carbon footprint, which today averages 4 tons per person per year.

Studies are showing that this average has to be reduced to 2 tons by 2050 to avoid irreversible damage. For instance, the global temperature would rise by 2°C, which would end up making more than 70% of Earth‘s coastlines’ sea-level rise greater than 0.2 meters.
