Our Approach to Carbon Credits.
At Nomad Futurist, sustainability isn’t a marketing exercise – it’s part of our responsibility to the next generation we aim to inspire. While carbon credits have attracted criticism in recent years, our position is simple:
Why Carbon Credits Matter
Carbon credits are not a solution to the climate crisis, but they are a useful tool when used properly, transparently, and as part of a broader commitment to climate responsibility.
Our goal is not to “buy our way to net zero,” but to ensure that our events reflect the values we advocate:
– Accountability for our environmental footprint
– Transparency in how we offset
– Education for our community about what good carbon offsetting looks like
– Continuous improvement rather than claiming perfection
This is why we take a conservative, evidence-based approach – and why we use Clear as our partner.
Why We Use Clear
1. Independently audited and certified
The QAS is one of the most stringent benchmarks for carbon offsets globally and ensures:
– real
– additional
– measurable
– independently verified
– permanently retired credits
2. Verified UN-backed Credits
Verified UN-backed carbon credits-Clear sources credits from the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) using Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) – one of the highest-integrity forms of credit available.
This ensures that every tonne of carbon we offset comes from a formally verified, traceable project.
3. Transparent pricing and methodology
– methodologies
– project details
– verification processes
– retirement certificates
There’s nothing hidden or vague – a key reason we selected them.
4. 18+ years of credibility

Their track record matters – especially in a market where not all providers meet the same standards.
Why We Offset Event Emissions
Events generate carbon – mainly from travel. Rather than pretend otherwise, we believe in:
1. Measuring our impact (using verified tools)
2. Reducing where we can
3. Offsetting what remains using high-integrity credits
4. Sharing our methodology openly
We are not claiming that carbon credits alone make an event “sustainable,” but they do make it more responsible.
A Responsible, Not Perfect, Approach
We encourage healthy scrutiny. We agree that some carbon-credit schemes have been misused or overstated in impact – which is exactly why we’ve chosen a partner like Clear.
Our commitment is to:
– avoid vague claims
– avoid low-quality offsets
– never use carbon credits as a distraction
– be transparent about what we do and why
Because our mission is about inspiring the next generation, and that starts with transparency and honesty.
