PBS Terra | Carbon Offsets Don't Work. Here's Why @pbsterra | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 4 hours ago
Individuals, companies and governments “offset” carbon emissions by paying to plant trees or fund solar panels in one place, so they can emit them elsewhere. Carbon credits are exchanged in the open market with the idea that carbon prices will go up – forcing companies to emit less. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant looks at why carbon offsets may not solve the climate crisis.

Based on the book by Jenny Price.
