Abstract | Carbon offsetting provides one avenue for local councils to mitigate or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This paper reviews carbon offsetting responses by Queensland local councils. Out of a total of 433 carbon reduction actions adopted by 30 Queensland councils, less than 3% of council climate initiatives related to carbon offsetting actions. |
