Achieving the global temperature targets set in the Paris climate agreement requires deep, rapid cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions, and therefore the swift phase-out of fossil fuels. Many factors stand in the way. One of the most pernicious is carbon offsets.Offsets are tradable credits from projects that claim to reduce emissions, either by avoiding them or by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The Project Developer Forum (PD Forum), which represents the collective interests of companies developing greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in international markets, has carried out new analysis that raises important questions about the balance between environmental integrity and project viability in the emerging Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM).

Reclaim Finance and CEED are urging policy makers to…
