Offset programs can reduce the overall cost of achieving a given emission goal by enabling emission reductions to occur where costs are lower. Offsets have the potential to deliver sustainability co-benefits, through technology development and transfer. They can also develop human and institutional capacity for reducing emissions in sectors and locations not included in a cap and trade or a mandatory government policy. However, offsets can pose a risk to the environmental in 606 $aCarbon offsetting 606 $aEmissions trading 615 0$aCarbon offsetting. 615 0$aEmissions trading. 676 $a363.738/746 701 $aKollmuss$b Anja$01618264 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816626203321 996 $aHandbook of carbon offset programs$93949894 997 $aUNINA
