Research: Australian human-induced native forest regeneration carbon offset projects have limited impact on changes in woody vegetation cover and carbon removals.
Poor integrity carbon offsets actually enables fossil fuel projects to increase emissions under current #SafeguardMechanism policy settings which allows unlimited offset credits to meet set targets.

Forest regeneration carbon offset projects in Australia show only small increases in woody vegetation cover relative to credited regeneration, and changes are comparable to those in the surrounding area, according to an analysis of 182 project.
#ForestRegeneration is yet another #grifting opportunity as we struggle to contend with the #ClimateEmergency on a rational basis. Britain is rife with #grifters, #Scotland is not. If you want to observe actual #Regeneration, go there.
