Calculate and compensate for your vacation

Your vacation can impact the climate and environment depending on the transport and activities you use. Transport modes like airplanes, cars, and ships typically emit greenhouse gases, especially CO₂, during operation. These emissions can exacerbate climate change by warming the atmosphere and disrupting the greenhouse gas balance. Your vacation can also affect the local environment, for instance, through resource consumption (water, electricity) or pollutant discharge. However, there are ways to reduce your vacation's impact on the climate and environment, such as using renewable energy or protecting sensitive ecosystems.

Ideally, emissions should not be produced in the first place. Unfortunately, this is virtually impossible in our current society. This is precisely where our CO₂ compensations become useful—when reduction is not yet possible. Compensation enables projects that would not exist without the sale of certificates. For example, a hydropower plant can replace an old, climate-damaging coal power plant 10 years ahead of schedule.

We only work with reputable and reliable partners who carefully plan and implement their climate protection projects. To ensure that your selected climate protection project is actually implemented, we regularly monitor project progress and ensure that investments genuinely flow into the project. Your certificate contains further information about the respective project.
