How it adds up
There is a certain degree of controversy surrounding carbon offsets.
The basic idea behind carbon offsets is that they should provide an ‘additionality’ or an additional benefit that would not have occurred without money from the carbon offset. (Source).
“Consumers and companies should look first to reducing their emissions before looking to source offsets for those emissions reductions that are not possible or are not cost-effective in the near term,” - Kelley Kizzier, carbon market expert at the Environmental Defense Fund. (Source).
