Research by SOMO and Human Rights Watch indicates that carbon projects may paradoxically harm the very communities they are intended to benefit, raising serious ethical concerns.
Despite promises of environmental integrity, many carbon offset projects have been linked to human rights abuses, revealing significant discrepancies between intentions and outcomes.
High-profile carbon projects have consistently exaggerated their environmental benefits while failing to account for real-world impacts on local populations, leading to exploitation under the guise of climate action.
The pushback from the offsetting industry reflects its struggle to maintain credibility amidst growing skepticism, as methodologies are adjusted but human rights issues remain largely unaddressed.
