Level 3: Offsets, Markets & Accountability

Level 3: Offsets, Markets & Accountability is designed to help motivated learners build a clear, practical understanding of the topic—without drowning in jargon. We start by grounding the “why” and the “what”: the key definitions, the mental models you’ll keep using, and the context that makes the rest of climate learning click.

You’ll explore the big ideas that matter most: offset fundamentals and integrity, markets and how credits are created, reduction vs offset strategy. Instead of treating these as abstract concepts, the course connects them to everyday decisions and real-world examples so you can recognize them in news, workplace conversations, and the choices you make at home.

We also go deeper into: greenwashing detection. Along the way, you’ll practice translating complexity into simple explanations, so you can communicate confidently and spot common misconceptions before they trip you up.

By the end, you’ll be able to evaluate offsets and climate claims with an integrity lens, understand how markets work, and choose reductions vs offsets intentionally, and you’ll have a few concrete next steps to keep momentum going.
