#offset

A study of 26 #carbon #offset projects across six countries published in the journal Science last year found that
🔸few of them succeeded in stopping deforestation.

Whatever climate benefits the projects were purported to have were 🔸overblown by as much as 300 percent.

A separate investigationinto one of the world’s leading carbon #registries found that
🔸90 percent of its rainforest offsets turned out to be “phantom credits” that likely didn’t represent real-world reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

And a 2022 report by nonprofit watchdog Carbon Market Watch determined that carbon offset credits offered by major European airlines were similarly🔸 linked to faulty forestry projects.
