Government and International bodies are creating and developing frameworks, such as the Kyoto agreement, in a bid promote reforestation and to reduce the levels of carbon dioxide being emitted.

Economic incentives were introduced in order to achieve these aims. As a result, companies that emit carbon dioxide in excess of a predetermined level will face penalties.

On the other hand, if commercial bodies are prepared to fund reforestation of qualifying land, they will be accredited with a defined number of carbon credits. In order to reduce or avoid penalties, a company can purchase carbon credits from these individuals or companies who have excess carbon credits and set these against their own excess emission levels. Environmental Trading Investments have the trading of carbon credits as one of their main focuses.
