Carbon Offset Portfolio for Individual

On average, each person in the world is responsible for about 4.7 metric tons of CO₂ emissions every year (Global Carbon Atlas, 2023). However, this number varies widely depending on where you live and how you live. In high-emitting countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and parts of the Gulf, an individual’s footprint can be as high as 14–20 tons per year. In medium-emitting regions such as the European Union and China, the average ranges from 6 to 8 tons per person, while in low-emitting countries like India, the figure is closer to 2 tons, and in many parts of Africa, it is less than 1 ton per person annually. 

This wide disparity highlights a crucial fact: every individual contributes to global emissions, directly or indirectly. That is why BKS offers a carbon credit offset platform, empowering individuals to take responsibility for their own environmental impact. By offsetting unavoidable emissions through certified projects, individuals can move closer to a carbon-neutral lifestyle while actively supporting global climate action.
