Abstract

Thomas Da Costa Vieira, LSE Fellow in International Political Economy, and Martina Sole, IPE MSc Student, argue that instead of leading to net emission reductions, carbon offsets may actually feed into the system, contributing to economic growth while shoring up the legitimacy of the status quo, by conveying the misleading perception that our consumerist habits are not so environmentally damaging after all.
