Carbon offset: Robust frameworks to avoid greenwashing
Carbon Offsets: Robust frameworks to avoid greenwashing
Already very present in international climate negotiations since the COP in Kyoto through the Clean Development Mechanism or reforestation projects such as the REDD+ programme, the issue of compensation mechanisms is still being debated, between the interest of creating financial flows to restore degraded land or mangroves… and the real risk of greenwashing and of inefficiency.
What place does offsetting have in the Fit-for-55 package? What framework can be built for a virtuous offset, seeking to reduce the emissions of the main emitters and financing projects with social and environmental co-benefits, particularly for biodiversity? What are potential mechanisms for certification and long-term monitoring?
