Increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide cause harmful changes in temperature and climate. Environmental markets for carbon and GHG can provide funding for conservation practices that decrease carbon dioxide or other GHG emissions.
