从大型科技公司到石油巨头，越来越多的公司通过自愿购买碳信用额度来抵消温室气体排放，并声称自己的碳中和。然而，碳补偿作为气候变化解决方案的可信度仍存在争议。从一开始，也就是说，自2000年代中期以来，自愿碳市场就受到了批评，正如我们在这篇评论中讨论的那样，这源于我们对碳市场社会研究的长期兴趣。通过对碳补偿供应商和买家的访谈，我们研究了质量问题（或缺乏质量问题）在自愿碳补偿市场中成为中心问题的一些方式。
ABSTRACT From Big Tech to Oil Majors, companies are increasingly resorting to the voluntary purchase of carbon credits to offset their greenhouse gas emissions and make claims about their carbon neutrality. Yet, the credibility of offsetting as a solution to climate change remains contested. From the outset, that is, since the mid-2000s, the voluntary carbon markets have been criticised, as we discuss in this commentary, which stems from our long-standing interest in the social study of carbon markets. Drawing on interviews conducted with offset suppliers and buyers, we examine some of the ways in which the issue of quality (or the lack of) has come to be a central concern in the voluntary offsetting markets.
