{"product_id":"environmental-offsets-9781486313181","title":"Environmental Offsets","description":"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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Offsets\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Offsets\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAn easy-to-read examination of the theory and practice of environmental offsetting.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes case studies and lessons learnt from Australia and across the developing world.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIllustrates the approach to estimating the amount of carbon dioxide offset.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CSIRO Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781486313181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.60w x 0.40d","brand":"Shelley Burgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52360402370741,"sku":"9781486313181","price":42.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1bad69bf-bfeb-40bd-b2a0-c0a0c903410d.jpg?v=1773720771","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/environmental-offsets-9781486313181","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
