''Environmental policy and concerns.''


Its objectives included preventing another major global depression, following the anticipated ending of World War II.
Carbon offsetting generally means buying carbon credits equivalent to the carbon impact before offsetting.


The underlying mechanism was to encourage open global markets.
This means compensating for every tonne of carbon dioxide emitted by ensuring there is one tonne less in the atmosphere in another place.




Representatives agreed on the characteristics of the international monetary system, effectively a fixed exchange rate system, which prevailed until 1971.
Carbon offsetting can also refer to other more direct activities, such as planting trees, as well as paying for carbon credits.
 
The conference led to the establishment of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
 
 
The full name of the conference was the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference.
