How is the Climate Action Reserve different from the California Climate Action Registry? Is the California Registry also certifying carbon offsets?
The Climate Action Reserve is the new name for the California Climate Action Registry (California Registry). It began as a program of the California Registry and became the parent organization in April 2009. While the California Registry focused on GHG emission inventories, the Reserve is focused on developing standardized GHG reduction project protocols, serving as a registry for GHG reduction projects, and tracking GHG offsets through a publicly accessible database.
