Question by Harrison C: What are cities that have carbon offset programs in the facility or in place?
I am doing a project for my companionship on cities in the US that have carbon offset programs up and running and also cities that have talked or plotted a carbon offset program. If you have contact information for these cities and projects that would be fantastic and also any web information or websites. Thank you.

Handbook of Carbon Offset Programs: Trading Systems, Funds, Protocols and Standards (Environmental Market Insights)

Greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets have long been promoted as an vital element of a comprehensive climate policy approach. Offset programs can reduce the overall cost of achieving a given emission goal by enabling emission reductions to occur everywhere costs are lower. Offsets have the potential to give up sustainability co-benefits, through technology development and transfer. They can also develop creature and institutional capacity for sinking emissions in sectors and locations not included in a cap and trade or a mandatory government policy. But, offsets can pose a risk to the environmental integrity of climate actions, especially if issues surrounding additionality, permanence, leakage, quantification and verification are not adequately addressed. The challenge is to design offset programs and policies that can maximize their potential benefits even as minimizing their potential risks. This handbook provides a systematic and comprehensive review of existing offset programs. It looks at what offsets are, how offset mechanisms function, and the successes and pitfalls they have encountered. Coverage includes offset programs crosswise the full swath of applications including mandatory and voluntary systems, government regulated and private markets, carbon offset funds, and accounting and exposure protocols such as the WBCSD/WRI GHG Protocol and ISO 14064. Learning from the successes and failures of these programs will be essential to crafting effective climate policy. This is an essential reference for all regulators, policy makers, business leaders and NGOs concerned with the design and operation of GHG offset programs world-wide. Published with SEI
