COP30
One Carbon World at COP30
One Carbon World is proud to be part of the 30th annual Conference of the Parties (COP30), hosted in Belém, Brazil. Our team members are taking part both in person and online, attending and chairing events that highlight our expertise and climate action advocacy. Through the UK COP30 Pavilion, we are showcasing our projects and the vital work we do to help organisations reduce emissions, drive sustainability, and champion the importance of collective climate action. This video offers a glimpse into some of our initiatives and projects, and the impact we are making together.

Frequently asked questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services and initiatives.
What is carbon offsetting?
Each organisation has a unique and different carbon footprint. Our team will guide you through this process and will help you to measure your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. We first invite you to select a date and time for a phone consultation with your dedicated technical expert. During the technical call, our expert will explain the emissions sources that we will include and the methodologies we will apply. We will guide you through the data collection procedure and also review any data you have already collected, if applicable. We always attach a guide for data collection for reference. If you have made a self-assessment of your carbon footprint we will talk you through the OCW verification process, based on UN-agreed methodologies. Once we receive your data, our experienced team of carbon auditors will calculate your carbon footprint.
How can I get involved?
At the global level, the IPCC defines net-zero as the point at which “anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere are balanced by anthropogenic removals over a specified period”. Achieving net-zero is a strategic approach focused on minimising environmental impact, ensuring that global emissions are reduced and rebalanced through initiatives like investing in renewable energy projects or adopting nature-based solutions.
What does it mean to reach net-zero emissions at the corporate level?
To reach a state of net-zero emissions for companies consistent with achieving net-zero emissions at the global level in line with societal climate and sustainability goals implies two conditions:
1. To achieve a scale of value-chain emission reductions consistent with the depth of abatement achieved in pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot and;
2. To neutralise the impact of any source of residual emissions that remains unfeasible to be eliminated by permanently removing an equivalent amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Companies may reach a balance between emissions and removals before they reach the depth of decarbonisation required to limit warming to 1.5ºC. While this represents a transient state of net-zero emissions, it is expected that companies will continue their decarbonisation journey until reaching a level of abatement that is consistent with 1.5ºC pathways.
What is green asset verification?
Green Asset Verification is a meticulous process that involves independently assessing and certifying the environmental sustainability and performance of specific assets, projects, or land associated with an organisation. Our OCW Green Asset Verification reports provides a comprehensive summary of the carbon emissions and absortion/sequestration linked to the organisation, detailing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon re-balancing measures associated with agricultural fields, operational sites, and forestry land.
