Abstract

Nature-based solutions (NBS) could mitigate significant carbon emissions needed to achieve the Paris climate goals. While public policies are essential to support the use of nature to mitigate climate change, there is an investment gap in the amount currently available for environmental conservation and restoration and what is needed. As such, a significant amount of investment can be mobilised via voluntary carbon offset projects. This chapter will first discuss the concept of carbon sequestration and NBS for climate mitigation before discussing the concept of voluntary carbon markets. The chapter will then examine the various voluntary carbon offset standards available before discussing several offset project types. Finally, the chapter will discuss the role of carbon offset credits in achieving corporate carbon neutrality.
