We are currently facing significant challenges in environmental
management that must be addressed to maintain the health of our
planet and our population. While carbon offsetting in its various
forms is widespread globally, few countries have fully legislated
and put into operation other offset policies. This edited
collection aims to fill the gap of knowledge on environmental
offsets, from theory to practice. Environmental Offsets addresses
four major forms of environmental offsets - biodiversity offsets,
carbon offsets, offsetting the depletion of non-renewable resources
and offsetting the destruction of built heritage. The authors
discuss their research and provide case studies from around
Australia and across the developing world. Using examples such as
the Sydney Olympics, the Bakossi Forest Reserve in Cameroon and
green roof gardens, this book highlights the strengths and
weaknesses of environmental offsetting and illustrates how jobs can
be created in the offsetting process. Environmental Offsets is both
a historical source in our understanding of environmental
offsetting and a guide to the way forward. It illustrates what
works, what does not and what can be improved for the future.
Features: An easy-to-read presentation of the theory and practice
of environmental offsetting. Illustrates the approach to estimating
the amount of carbon dioxide offset. Includes case studies from
Australia and across the developing world.
