Abstract
Globally, carbon offset funding has the potential to provide a new and large source of funding for energy and natural resource programmes around the world. Using funding from private companies in industrialized nations, for example, developing countries can gain access to more efficient and cleaner power generation and consumption technologies or can fund forestry and other natural resource projects. The addition of carbon offset funding to existing international funding sources can promote economic development, particularly during a time of constrained governmental resources for international assistance projects.1
