Carbon offsetting is the subject of our new episode.
Offsetting carbon emissions is a voluntary process for private companies and individuals. It involves financing carbon reductions elsewhere, which can then be claimed to offset one's own emissions. How does this compensation system work? Is it reliable and solid, and does it enable real and measurable reductions? How can we avoid greenwashing? What is the value of the new promises for the integrity of voluntary carbon markets? A dialogue between Matthieu Wemaëre, Associate Researcher at IDDRI, and Sophie Larmoyer.
