This book "Upsetting the Offset: The Political Economy of Carbon Markets", challenges the environmental claims made about carbon markets and carbon offsetting schemes. The book - which collates contributions from more than 30 leading experts - is another voice in the growing criticism about the business of carbon and how it has failed to deliver promised reductions in greenhouse gases.
Upsetting the Offset engages critically with the political economy of carbon markets. It presents a range of case studies and critiques from around the world, showing how the scam of carbon markets affects the lives of communities. It also presents a number of alternatives to carbon markets which enable communities to live in real low-carbon futures.
This book is a very constructive and rigorous critique of CDM offset approaches to deal with carbon footprints.
