  A carbon credit is a permit that allows the
company that holds it to emit a certain
amount of carbon dioxide or other
greenhouse gases.

Carbon Credit  One carbon credit is equal to one ton of

carbon dioxide

 Permission

 License to trade

 Carbon Offset
Costal Zone • Classification of Coastal Regulation Zone:

Regulations Category I (CRZ –I)

Category II (CRZ –II)
Category III (CRZ-III)
Category IV (CRZ- IV)
 CRZ –I :- ecologically sensitive area
areas between Low Tide Line & High Tide Line

CRZ –II :- Developed area within municipal limits

CRZ –III :- which do not belong to Category I & II

CRZ –IV :- Coastal Stretches in Andaman and

Nicobar Islands
