Today, the European Commission released data on the number of international offsets used in 2013 by companies in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Unlike previous years, the European Commission only released aggregate information which means it is no longer possible to check the origin of the 133 million offsets that entered the EU ETS in 2013. Carbon Market Watch, Sandbag Climate Campaign and the Climate Market & Investment Association (CMIA) strongly condemn this lack in transparency as it significantly reduces civil society’s ability to scrutinize the carbon offset projects that were used.
