Abstract The Paris Agreement will greatly benefit from the past experience with international
market mechanisms for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and related regulatory …

Carbon markets, particularly emission trading schemes (ETS) and carbon offset projects, are
significant mechanisms in climate change mitigation. However, there are still a number of …

In order to understand the climate effects of a bioenergy system, a comparison between the
bioenergy system and a reference system is required. The reference system describes the …

Are forest offsets an effective way to address climate change, and do they provide other
benefits? In some climate‐change mitigation policies, industries and individuals can …

Net-zero targets have significantly increased carbon offset demand. Carbon offsets are
issued based on ex-ante estimates of project emissions reductions, though systematic …
