SourceMaterial - The Carbon Con – How offsetting claims are vastly inflated

Clearly #carbonoffsetting alone is not enough.

This investigation found only 6% of 100mn carbon credits resulted in real carbon emissions: https://www.source-material.org/vercompanies-carbon-offsetting-claims-inflated-methodologies-flawed/

Hello 👋

I'm a policy advisor working on #decarbonising the UK economy.

I'm exploring how to build a more complete picture of emissions. E.g. what a regulator might look like for #carbonaccounting #Carbonoffsetting #carbonremoval and #carbonmarkets.

Also interested in global #carbonstandards #lowcarboneconomy and #CircularEconomy

I'm fascinated by #systemsthinking and #wickedproblems in #policy and #politics and I'm doing a PhD in this part time.

Like #CleanAir don't like #fireworks
