The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that laid the foundation for developing a system of carbon credits and tradeable emission rights. By joining this process, individuals, communities, companies and countries can gain a better understanding of the overall environmental costs of their actions, and reduce their carbon emissions. Kyoto Forests of New Zealand (KFNZ) is developing a commercial model for managing NZ carbon credit forests. Individuals and organisations can also reduce their carbon emissions by supporting: Carbonfund (all emissions), TerraPass and DriveNeutral (car-related emissions).
