As humanity struggles to combat climate change, there is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One way to do this is through a carbon offset market, where organizations or individuals can buy credits from emission reduction projects.
Now researchers from Kyushu University in Japan, in collaboration with Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia, have conducted a global analysis of voluntary carbon offset programs and identified trends in how types of carbon reduction technologies are selected and prioritized. Their findings, published in the journal Cleaner Environmental Systems , provide important insights for policymakers to improve the efficiency and credibility of the carbon offsets market.
