Does carbon offset provide a solution to global warming?
On its own, carbon offset does not provide an answer to global warming but it does have a large part to play in the overall approach to carbon management. It provides the vital first step in engaging business and individuals to consider the implications of their CO2 emissions. As well as encouraging our clients to reduce emissions at source, we also help them offset their non-reducible emissions. Technology offsets are part of the reductions-at-source strategy. The characteristics of forestry offset are such that, in addition to being able to offset a specific project’s CO2 emissions, over time it can also help re-absorb the existing high levels of atmospheric CO2.
