A call for papers for a conference at Cornell on the role of carbon offsets in climate policy.
Verification, leakage and permanence are important obstacles to the effective use of carbon offsets and this is an important policy issue.
I have my doubts on how effective carbon offsets will be given these difficulties. the post below on fraud in the EU carbon trading market gives pause for thought.
This is a timely conference. The forestry and agricultural sectors in the US in particular have powerful friends and the distributional impact will be important - unless this is fully understood there may be unintended consequences.
