Before you trash carbon offsets, ask who pays for conservation
If private land-based funding isn’t going to come from taxpayers, then we should be striving to grow markets that support genuine conservation efforts.
Nor is this an attempt to suggest that offsetting emissions using carbon credits is a substitute for actual emissions reductions. I am also not trying to defend companies that greenwash and suggest that the purchase of carbon offsets somehow neutralises the climate impacts of their business activities, or is a substitute for direct emissions reduction.
