Rising consumer awareness of climate change is anticipated to drive the expansion of the carbon-smart e-commerce checkout offset market in the coming years. Climate change refers to long-term alterations in global or regional climate patterns, primarily resulting from human activities and greenhouse gas emissions. These changes are accelerating as increased emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to higher global temperatures. Carbon-smart e-commerce checkout offset solutions help mitigate climate change by allowing consumers and businesses to compensate for emissions generated from online purchases through contributions to certified carbon-reduction initiatives and the promotion of sustainable practices that reduce the environmental footprint of digital commerce. For example, in November 2024, data from the Office for National Statistics, a UK government statistical body, indicated that approximately 57% of adults considered climate change and environmental issues to be important, with the most frequently reported impacts over the previous 12 months including strong winds at 40%, flooding at 35%, and heatwaves at 30%. Therefore, increasing awareness of climate change is contributing to the growth of the carbon-smart e-commerce checkout offset market.
