New Greenpeace report exposes VW’s REDD carbon offset sham. The Katingan REDD project faces problems of additionality, permanence, leakage, land conflicts, and (of course) an unverifiable, counterfactual baseline

Posted on 8 November 20208 November 2020

By Chris Lang A new report by Greenpeace investigates VW’s “climate neutral” production claims for its new ID series of electric cars.

UNDP’s response to Norway in relation to Green Climate Fund’s “results based” payment to Indonesia reveals no mechanism for dealing with double counting, and how few REDD projects there are in the country

“Companies can choose to reduce their emissions or buy free. The strength of the trade is that emission rights are controlled to those who can pay best and that emissions are reduced most where it is cheapest to reduce them.
