Citizens’ views on voluntary carbon offsetting are ambiguous. Despite a generally positive inclination towards voluntary carbon offsetting, citizens expressed doubts on its functioning, had little unreserved support for offsetting and showed significant distrust towards the sector.
These results were published in a recent journal article by Climakedo researchers together with researchers from the University of Helsinki and Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). The study analyzed the results of a nationally representative citizen survey conducted in 2021.
