Let me put this right up front – this is not a defence of the federal government’s Climate Active scheme. It is not perfect and should be improved.
Nor is this an attempt to suggest that offsetting emissions using carbon credits is a substitute for actual emissions reductions. I am also not trying to defend companies that greenwash and suggest that the purchase of carbon offsets somehow neutralises the climate impacts of their business activities, or is a substitute for direct emissions reduction.
