Carbon credits originated through these emission reduction activities can be created under a variety of voluntary and compliance market mechanisms, schemes and standards. Some of these instruments have been established so countries can comply with their mandatory Kyoto targets and others provide avenues for voluntary offsetting purposes. Some schemes around the world clearly deliver more environmental benefits than others. Developing parts of the world produce the most carbon credits by far, often these locations are essentially considered environmental 'hot spots' as they lack the appropriate laws, regulations and funding that usually exist in developed regions. Due to these reasons they have the most room for improvement and therefore offer the most environmental benefits if worthy improvements are introduced. Consistent with all forms of Climate Change mitigation, either in the form of internal abatement, the improved efficiency within businesses, project based reductions or Emissions Trading Schemes, the aim is to achieve reductions based on the lowest cost and in line with this theory the Developing World is seen as 'low hanging fruit'. Projects within these schemes and locations must be 'additional' meaning that the people behind a project need to demonstrate that the emission reductions would not have occurred without the combined incentives that carbon credits provide. Due to financial, political or other barriers, the project must prove it goes beyond a "business as usual" scenario and that greenhouse gas emissions are lower with the project than without it..
