Concept

Avoided Emissions

GHG emissions that would have been produced without a particular action, but are not produced thanks to that action.

Full definition

A different concept from reduced emissions (actual emissions today that are lower than before). They do not replace actual emissions in a carbon inventory. Often communicated in climate marketing, sometimes abusively. Governed by Carbone 4’s ‘NZI - Net Zero Initiative’ method.
