ALT What is the role for carbon offsetting in delivering a just transition? Online webinar: Tuesday 4th February, 6pm to 7pm. Protecting and restoring nature has a vital role to play in accelerating Scotland’s net zero transition, while also delivering economic benefits to local communities. In recent years, Scotland has become a particularly attractive destination for investors seeking to purchase land for carbon offsetting and natural capital activities. This has resulted in rapid changes to the dynamics of Scotland’s rural land market, while concerns have been raised about the extent to which carbon offsetting is diverting investment away from emissions reduction. Such shifts have generated fresh questions around the extent to which carbon credits generated in Scotland are delivering environmental and community benefits.
