Plan Vivo is a system for managing the supply of verifiable emission reductions from rural communities in a way that promotes sustainable livelihoods.
With growing awareness of the problem of climate change, governments, industries and other organisations are seeking ways of reducing their emissions of carbon to the atmosphere.
