as well, you're up to date for now, but keep it here on d. w. next step, our documentary asks what carbon offsetting really does for the climate? and for more news, check out c, w dot com and download the dw nears app. i'm david levitz. thanks for watching the, the untold story is going to be find it here. repos every weekend on d. w. of the toning for one's own climate, sayings somewhere else. offsetting the magic word has become
5:16 am
a $1000000000.00 business, but doesn't deliver on its promises. i can't reset the system which is good, and we're waiting to see the project beginning here before we die. we're under the money. don't lie of offsetting is unfortunately true. flying climate neutral, or even filling up the tank. the common offsetting market is booming. a modern day bomb file of the vantages are basically trading companies like laurie, i advertise that own climate friendliness. but what's behind such assurances? a list of people destroying nature, a note from the for them. for years german supermarket chain audi suit and it's fostering subsidiary pool fact declared themselves climate neutral. the cornerstone at the claim of water disinfection project in bangladesh as well as their label have lost interest. um they did um to them was no one has to be careful and precise
5:17 am
. the private common offsetting market is a $1000000000.00 business built on guilt. one place especially benefits from age, the waste financial sector. and just based on the projects that we evaluated, our estimates are that over 90 percent of the credits that the project developers are for us to they wouldn't be able to sell over 90 percent of them would not be for you. the i'm trying to do is rapidly warming at the honda of the problem, climate damaging emissions caused by us humans every year while i best 30000000000 tons of carbon dioxide are emitted. if global warming has to be kept at 1.5 degrees to monitor, you can release at the most, only another 200000000000 tons into the atmosphere. the european union is
5:18 am
responsible for around 10 percent of global comp and emissions, despite its inhabitants making up less than 6 percent of the world's population. though it may seem myna in relative times 2000000000 tons of c o 2 have already been reduced on paper, at least 2000000000, so called comp and credits to being sold to date. who's profiting from that? no one knows many such credits was sold in switzerland where a lucrative financial center trading in all tap has sprung up. the market tells us to find, keep driving, keep emitting, keep, keep buying. it's okay. we need to the book to show them, you know, a study examined 2000 companies and the admission credits they used it. so that showed that 88 percent of these credits did not truly eliminate or store the emissions associated with their products or services. and the long term sources you
5:19 am
could use for sounds, or how do launch companies offset the world's largest cosmetics manufacture l'oreal itself based in powers, has committed to the iris climate agreement. on the 20500 emission target laurels launches logistics center in europe is in morgan storm between strasburg and struck god it's carbon neutral. one is lori als, research, industrial and administrative sites are intended to become carbon neutral by 2025, with how to relying on carbon credits. when the scale becomes clear, though those measures seem less convincing. the industrial areas which can be directly influenced, known as scope $1.00 and $2.00 accounts, but only 0.3 percent of the emissions. the overwhelming majority, some 12000000 tons comes from suppliers,
5:20 am
sales and disposal the comp and balance of role materials suppliers and retailers. is honda to influence to partially offset this? l'oreal supports a number of environmental and climate projects around the world the most. so what we con to avoid using up others can save on. we'll pay them to do it for as alien thomas west as a form of order to one sent by supposedly independent certification bodies to check whether such comp and projects met the required standards or would really just haul to bank. then he believed in once he was doing. i then began writing adult trolls thesis and discovered that the common calculation methods in the compound off setting markets manipulated and misleading. and the more i was learning about them in the calculations. and at the same time,
5:21 am
i was enrolled in my, in the, my ph. d. and i was learning the science behind. behind the calculations. the more is kept cool. i became the calculations that made sense in a study published in the academic journal science, 26 of setting forest projects work closely analyzed sounds a lot of data from the project periods, evaluated. and just based on the projects that we evaluated, our estimates are that over 90 percent of the credits that the project developers, i assume there would be able to sail over 90 percent of them would not be real. one of the 9 far as the projects l'oreal supports is the most key to blue comp and project in honduras. overall, l'oreal claims to have offset more than 400000 tons of c o 2 through its 2020 compensation projects. the 1st groundbreaking, blue carbon project,
5:22 am
and honduras protects nearly 5000 the heck tests of mangroves and 280000 a heck test of conduct for us and the city. as far as we took a closer look at the project, administered by the project developer and coppin certificate trader, south po, a remote area on the northeast and caribbean coast of home dealers can only be reached by small pain flights to poway. i told them to run 3 to 4 times a week, weather permitting, to have been soldiers in the region for 50 is police, government oversights and health care are practically non existent. mosquito has always been left to fend for itself, challenging conditions where a comp and compensation projects, the problem is influence and control. protecting and re far as the mangrove say is currently big with offsetting project developers. mangroves can
5:23 am
stole $3.00 to $5.00 times as much c o 2. as far as the areas of the same size as stops, there was no income and credits. the project area is vast . roughly the size of fonts is brittany region. we want to know what's happened since the project preparations began in 2017. we're aiming for the deep rain forest and t p. first though we go to bottom paduka, where the mangrove sound to be protected, the coverage expanded. there are no roads, so we take a boat with a $200.00 horsepower engine. it's the most powerful they have in the mosquito. it's all the safety insurance. the isolated carbon coast off on doris is a main route for columbia and drug koreas. shortly after departing from poets oakland, puter, the provinces, capitals, we have a mandatory luggage inspection at
5:24 am
a hidden marine bass. there's not much inspection going on. we're allowed to continue on our way. we skim the open sea for 3 hours at a speed of nearly 30 knots, a mother and a child come along for the ride. the most important thing to not to cross house with a drunk boat disguised as a fishing vessel. these here a locals. so with these boats, it's less clear, the destination is bound up a to can population 4 and a half 1000. the compound offsetting project was, keeps you posted to an outcome was introduced as 7 years ago. people are supposed to help prevent the ongoing deforestation of central america's largest brain forest . the last 20 years of satellite images show significant deforestation in the surrounding areas. the projects goal is to prevent the same from happening here.
5:25 am
the whole 9 grow sound to be planted. in fact, that's why certificates from the most key to pass ok now to what punches, despite repeated inquiries l'oreal would not disclose the sum of money involved. this is the designated project time in the future. deforestation is to be avoided, and mine grow far as to be planted near the see. the project began with workshops to engage the local population the project owners, all the indigenous peoples of 8 participating tribal areas. well, it's happened since then. well, the one face the bottom to coast inhabitants of emigrated to the us. in recent years, a high bus rate is seen the population remain stable. donado reversed on i either
5:26 am
was a teacher and was elected by the indigenous counsel to be the coordinator of the cobb . and all setting project has low towels investment benefits at the locals. if they received a share of the money directly, what would they do with it? it's the zurich project, develop a south pole, estimated that $4000000.00 could be owned from the comp and credits. and will go up in a sense and we found about that, you know, we build a dam to project about our power to kind of phone, to protect the people. that's the idea for the infrastructure. and then the state of battle, the case, it's a fairly impressive buddha, elizabeth, i say to see him, but as a, and the other idea is to plan to mangroves us and re forest trees by the, you know, for the sun. and i mean, so fall, no money has shown up in brought up
5:27 am
a to people have launch difficult in what it's all about. my know, i use those them. well, a few people planted some trees on the other bank, but the people planting them. i've stopped around this from south pole, came here and spoke for about 3 hours. and from that point on, people realized they had to take care of themselves. deforestation is the biggest issue affecting us in this area, is perfect, and the thing it says on did the project really achieve nothing, as it prevented deforestation? the close the one loops, the more questions arise. how do you even calculate whether there is a c o 2, saving? the problem is that the, there's methodologist, they are inherently flawed. they're based on a framework that doesn't allow you to measure the performance of the project in thought up a to time. it's not been tons, but at most a few kilograms of carbon that have been offset. but south pole sold calvin credits
5:28 am
. so where did the money go? yes ma'am. i'm thinking that nobody is now dealing with an open, common market, stupid remote. it's like being in a world where every bank and every entrepreneur could issue their own. thank you much. i can and bunk. milton, housekeeping perhaps we're looking in the wrong place. despite this being the hotspot and to florida y'all's mangrove protection project. the, the next day we had inland to teepee, it's where the boundary lines between a heavily deforested area and on top strain forest in the hearts of the most key to are unintentional. scribe alida has agreed to take us that. what does he think of the concept of reducing deforestation now?
5:29 am
it's good. okay, let me, let me, i'd be leaving the good. but other than that, i believe that the indigenous community in accordance with that culture has always been the moment protecting nature. the people who are destroying nature and not from here. migration has a huge impact. many families with 678, or 10 children don't have the money to live in the city. so what do they do? they come here to collect fluid with that they can provide for their families plus funds. and what does that make us as the type who is the name for and let me see the important thing. for example, here in mosquito, as with other indigenous people, we don't have access to big machines, that costs a lot of damage. we may cut down a tree here on that to make polls for a while offense. so to build a house, we don't can see much. that's why i think the european should be more careful and find out a solution to the strategies both. this isn't working and then we're going to continue, we're going to make our needs and that's what it is. now, the bank,
5:30 am
holiday effects of migration supposed to be influenced by offsetting payments. often a tell a boat, right. we have a right in htp ilario nixon, a fama is responsible for the village youth, the to remembers the workshops at the start of the project. the project would be an important one. he says, hardly anyone is replanting trees. a low sort of as demos is bad, they'll call you, we've been waiting for days, mom years waiting, but it hasn't started. lemme, i don't know what's going on up there. we're waiting here to see the project begin before we die. i don't know what's going on with them and on north there is no project. we're waiting for it. no, it that's already established has been handled. well, that's the stuff we all started as if they had ever heard of laurie all as the
5:31 am
lease so we make the a town journey back during a chain. so we stone houses being built. the chain of the borrowed soul brought from far away is dell and doesn't come well. the men take it in stride. although tells us they brought the wood from the forest months ago. it's 3 hours up stream where the mountains began. did they have to buy it? no less. plenty of it. it was done. there's quite a lot. what does he think of european companies being willing to pay $25.00? if one ton of c o 2 stays in the forest. and i'm not, i don't know how old the family tries to ration the wood using it sparingly. the german n g o initiated the installation of efficient wood stove. so few years ago,
5:32 am
we learned that there are numerous initiatives running here in parallel on what basis can l'oreal or project develop a south pole claims and project has a positive impact on the power station. this is the project documents submitted for certification. it's over 200 pages long. this is the sales page for those making common offsetting deals. a questionable model has been applied to calculate that 400000 tons of c o 2 to be offset in almost detail. right, these are the 2 most popular methodologies out there. this is the one that was used by the project in honduras, vm 7, thomas west explains how the system is set up. the time baseline describes what would happen if the forest protection or reforestation project didn't exist ation within this reference. the method to use this simple comparison include either a,
5:33 am
in recent years or this much far as to is cleared and a reference area next to the project area or so it's likely that the same will happen in the next project area. but then there's a 2nd step, it's really critical in this methodology, which is the location of these historical deforestation, and trend or trend across the reference region, which is illustrated by this map here. right? in this case, all the, the historical, the 1st station or the trend was located seems areas where the project is not located. ok. in these other example, all the deforestation was located inside the project there, depending on which reference area one takes the calculated offsetting through reforestation. various audrey lots can be manipulated without breaking the rules of the method project for the more deforestation you have inside the project area,
5:34 am
the more credits your project. and so we want you to answer this from south pole to hear about the company as the project develop. i had to say about the criticism we headed to zurich, but didn't get further than the elevator. the business models reputation has slipped sofa that south po c. e o. resigned in the winter. in particular, the korean project in zimbabwe made negative headlines, internationally. south pole pocketed 18000000 in profits still more disappeared to a local businessman. experts have called them cobb and campbell, he's originally the idea was for the people of the mosquito to receive millions for sustainable development and deficient rein far as protection. but that didn't happen to the end of our journey, the president of the mosquito region of honduras. finally, agree to an interview. he was the chief point of contact with south pole to the
5:35 am
indigenous peoples. single dose on this by the presidency. i must study this appeal in today. i've been president of mazda again for 2 years. and since i've been involved, the project has been revisited. it's a bit of track inactive that from the moment i began, the project was reactivated. we had discussions with in the own and south pole to a working with a indigenous council. simple is slowly so far, it's just been talks and training because we realized we didn't actually know 100 percent. what carbon is located is in the middle possible. it turns out that the government had halted the project. a new law was passed, which depending on how the as yet on specified regulations turn out, may prohibit private companies like south polk from conducting common offsetting
5:36 am
deals and home do or is completely. meanwhile, everything is on homes. to home during and g o tasked with advancing the project? the south pole confirmed the stand still present, but you don't look yeah the you don't see the muscle more flexible. so fall of the project has been running independently. so but with its own funding for the entire consultation process, we carried out with the community. so 4 years, however, so none of this was funded by comb credits. no, they didn't exist at the time, can not view. i think it was hoping to see it on the website showing the projects progress now at 22 percent. it's run from spine and hasn't been updated in years. l'oreal declined an interview but sent us a short statement off to being confronted with the facts. we are no longer a bio of mosquito carbon credits and of no intention of purchasing more in the future. renowned comp and market ex. but barbara hail
5:37 am
from the university of california assessed our research results. she says that while nothing was offset here, lorio has taken effected measures in its own operations. lorio appears to be doing all the important things right, where they are focusing on directly reducing their own emissions, including and their supply chain. and they're not using carbon credits to make a greenhouse gas claim. and they also are supporting external projects. and this is what our company should do. and i think we're lorio ran into trouble is a be decided to trust the carbon compensation market when choosing what external projects to support. one of the world's largest corporations appears to have fallen for a green scam. that's as of october 2020 full, that website still promotes their alleged protection of mangroves as the 1st such
5:38 am
a project in honduras is baffling. even more in comprehensible is how laurie owl was able to even purchase credits. it should not have been possible since no credits were generated. copland cannot be offset without savings having being made elsewhere. it's as simple as that, because you don't, this is all this transactions the they are happening in the voluntary cobble market, right? everything is done voluntarily. you don't have to buy offsets from, from this project developers. you choose to do so, and there are no rooms for those transactions. of course, if 95 percent of the profits are going to affect bank accounts in near up. well, that doesn't really look so good for the project, right? so what exactly is the common offsetting lie?
5:39 am
the carbon market is lying and it's lying and 3 ways. one, the credits typically are present just a fraction of what they create into our present in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. and they're basically trading and lives. second is that you're, the market tells us that reducing our own emissions is equivalent to buying these credits. and that's simply not true, even if the credits are accurately estimated. a this out, mr. has a limited capacity to whole greenhouse gases and if we use that up, that means someone else, well, but there's a 3rd lie and that is the market tells us that our emissions are cheap but down, so rise, not tony, in practice, but also in theory. kind of global offsetting system, even walk all stream climate research. daniel huffman wants to find out how much forest passing is actually available for all setting
5:40 am
purposes in a conversation with a garden of a palm house insurance in vienna. he calculates that each person on us has the equivalent forest area of 2 such palm houses. 5000 square meters will have a heck down their propulsion of c o. 2, india is small, huffman explains yet despite offsetting efforts, it has significantly increased phones that must so that i could think of something, imagine the entire air column up to the stratosphere. if you let the seo to flow like a lake at ground level, then we'd be at about this level in pre industrial times. why? it's only reason in the last 100 years since the industrial revolution. and since we've been burning oil, gas and coal, if this 15, why would we be approximately? so let's go up to speed would be if we can push that up to
5:41 am
see. so i saw from a close guess. yeah, no, fast you miss was on. okay, yes. the c o 2 concentration would be about here a little bit about one and a half meters higher than before. the industrial revolution became the end every year. the c o 2 concentration rises by about 2 centimeters. so what we said, sites estimate the that increase needs to be absorbed by, for example, additional new forests in germany at the post of institute for climate impact research. all the important data is brought together. you see eradicates the positive effects of comp and all setting should be measurable. the institutes director and also head of the e u commission scientific climate advisory board says such projects can only be considered effective if that stable long time contributions can be proven to skip the soonest it on by them aspect. this is a, it's a my, i'm break process. i don't mind if we can. there's another aspect is when you look
5:42 am
at a project, for instance, we were wanting to obtain credits for preserving a forest. you might say, well, maybe the reforestation will succeed, may be additional forest will actually be planted in trouble. but if this happens on a large scale, what does it mean? it means there's more forest and less farmland available. if that happened globally, it could mean a rise in green prices, and i'm good by the mazda. obviously, the doorsteps, ties those, those are diff, green prices increase. they will be additional incentives to cut down far as the elsewhere. they may be the, to the, on the, i'd say by the opposite that these far as to project on tony used to offsetting purposes now that they fall in into disrepute other ideas on, on the much, even the food industry is eager to promote a green image companies want to present themselves as organic, sustainable, environmentally friendly, fostering supermarket chain,
5:43 am
whole for stock to carbon neutral pizza in the freezes. in 2023, both hoffa and its parent company, audi suit, claimed to have been climate and neutral since 2016. busy but even after that, comp and reductions, they still have $30000.00 tons of c o 2 a year left over the rest was offset using comp and credits, supposedly rendering them neutral. in the interim, the claim has disappeared from the websites. thousands of tons of c o 2 was supposedly offset with a want to have this infection project in bangladesh instead of boiling drinking water. it is bacteria li, purified in plastic bottles, using radiation from sunlight, the only dears to purify water using a songs u. v. right, and i need another project and one of the poorest and most accessible regions of the weld, the saturn code of the province of bangladesh. the other thing that i need this on besides this, he is, we works only with the son on mothers eyes,
5:44 am
which he has developed. and there's nothing more than the measuring device as long as the mentor, along as far as the auto pilot, but use a thought about kind of but requiring a solar cell by trainings. now you press a button and place it next to it both live up to 3 leeches. when can wait until a small in the past and i look on in the regions, i've worked and it takes one to 4 hours. and then i think you'll want to move a job at the top. $70000.00 of the small devices are in use worldwide supermarket chain wholesale also promised to offset greenhouse gases with them. was it the value they told us after pre treating it with potassium alum to fill river water into 5 or 6 bottles to make drinking water to another cousin we travelled to bangladesh, to find out with a compound offsetting is working. here. the calculation goes, seems to pretty you felt a drinking board to no longer needs to be boiled, a lot of firewood is saved. and with that c o 2 through holfer's
5:45 am
van d project. last word is needed, pulfer allegedly offset thousands of tons of its emissions based way. earlier this year we released a study of the offset methodology that the why the project used and we found substantial over crediting. we wanted to know the truth and visited the village of korea. kali we did find people using body in the region. the many devices were broken and had not being replaced. the device works, it can purified 10 liters of water per day. that's enough for 10 to 12 people drinking body water. we have fewer stomach issues logging as somebody knows a lot of times that's the windows 10. you can use the device for 6 months when there's enough time, because then there are 6 months of monsoon and the water gets muddy. that i heat it . is he the in the 4 or 5 months of winter plus i heat, water for drinking and bathing? let them know
5:46 am
a company of them was the fact that the water is hated in the winter included in calculations, but how much firewood is actually saved? the claim was that the supermarket chain contributed to a better drinking, going to a supply, saving several 1000 tons of c o 2 and bangladesh. for clean water projects is even more challenges with estimating emissions reductions because of the questions of the baseline of what fuel use and emissions are really associated with boiling water and that they sign to find out how to scientific overview by university was initiated. the university reviewed and validated the estimates of how much could be offset, and this will probably be on the parking side and this will follow them the inside one visit took place during the dry season. another during the rainy season to see if usage change of the ball body requires some light. so when it rains, they sometimes need 2 days to cleanse the water. and would they also check if
5:47 am
enough bottles were available and how they were being handled? i mean, only the problem is the people doing the monitoring and validating also advisors to the companies and the public assistance. they have a vested interest in the project. success is hardly an independent review. now for the last, the calculation method used in bangladesh is the best available. the thomas high standards, i suffer from stomach pain and nausea was i likes the water. why? that's why i put potassium alum in it. it causes the impurities to come together so i can filter and drink it. yeah. you hi, what can you do when there's no filtration system up like of like a template and, and you drink that. is that now you so you don't need the body device or the down
5:48 am
low to the didn't write it the list definitive. what i was normally i do put the water in the sun you that for during the rainy season i collect rainwater. i'm that i'm for you, the set of off and i mix it with other water and disinfect it with body have work. but during the rainy season we don't need body has been completely thinking. so the number of these, more than half of the people we spoke with say they don't use the device during the 4 to 5 months rainy season. the calculations from the university of natural resources and life sciences were included in nevada. the manufacturer videos is project report. according to it, 88 percent of households use vandy of the times that $15112.00 tons of c o 2 are avoided annually. could it be true? 39150 people in 7115 households were reached 36900000 liters of drinking water were provided. in exchange, $1.00 tons of wood per household were allegedly saved numbers. upon numbers.
5:49 am
we visited 20 households conducted research and interviewed in 10 of them. you need a lot of firewood. yeah. so we need a lot of firewood. how much a month and a half months ago from last time i bought between 40480 keyless was then i gathered some here and there. and then a year we need about $1600.00 to 2000. she loves the luxury, doesn't firewood, consumption, decrease, and that will need at least a little in a home in order to look, i'm good, hasn't decrease. now why we drink this water, but we also need water for cooking. we need warm water. finally got them hot up so that's the reason because that's how i'm going to what i'm going to them. ready we sleep the drinking water with the high in winter, we have to heat it can, how would firewood consumption, decrease? supplemental said there was no reduction in firewood consumption for these families
5:50 am
and to use body rain, water would 1st need to be collected in containers. we ask ms. beacon again you with a project coordinator and in the beginning there was a lot of interest to people understood what it was about. why don't people use body and the mall a girl. i realize the people lost interest because they were promised water containers that 1st a didn't, but none were provided to the see. then why, what plastic bottles boats are to, as always, didn't the people have to show the body official who came by that everyone was drinking water from their device? would you k 50? it's clear that, well, these projects have real health benefits were mess. we're masking health projects as carbon projects, because that's where the money is. even this offsetting project carried out with the best possible scientific o besides leaves many questions unanswered. what just hold for i have to say about
5:51 am
the fact support by healey os was discontinued in 2023 due to a change in strategy. currently as part of the diesel group, we are in the process of setting new validated science based goals. primary objective is to avoid or reduce emissions on all levels, wherever possible in brussels, the problems of the private comp and all setting market a well known as name out loud. i also see that many of sitting projects that currently exist don't work on to come up with independent studies, have proven it. so i can agree kind of the lie of off setting is unfortunately true, right? that's what happens in only 2024, the u parliament passed a new directive. it prohibits companies from making unsubstantiated climate promises. you know,
5:52 am
might not force them. is these except if it's you don't the most the, most in my view certification should be provided by a regulator and i was it you as a key role to play here. it can now say if you want to do something in our markets, if you want to contribute to off setting our remaining emissions, then you have to do it according to our standards. if the you sets those standards, i'm convinced they'll also be applied to the rest of the voluntary carbon marc coast of mac. that again, you can see my protection committee has its way switched comp and all setting practices may soon be a thing of the past. just within myself, all of a sudden that's been yes, i'd predict that if we manage to strongly regulate this carbon all settings and band advertising based on it. yeah, i don't have it so they will have an impact in switzerland. they won't be able to just go to switzerland to do it. they're getting the stop by the
5:53 am
design blue mountain onto the main range of the austrian alps located the border between this outspoken carinthia is home to one of the world's highest observatories. no other climate measurements station and such a high alpine location has gathered weather data for as long as those on blake observatory mustering climate research at daniel's hope. months has come up to see whether the success of climate measures can be detected in the atmosphere as the app and become any cleaner. daniel huffman is in stock, the folk is lifted in the morning lights revealing a breathtaking view of foster's highest mountain. nicole skulking at the observatory is located at an altitude it's 3106 meters. c o 2 measurements of
5:54 am
onemain being taken here for 25 years. but it's the longest data series collected fall from civilization high in the mountains. the . you don't need to look at temperature data to see how the climate has changed. place use of bath or dock absorbing more heat, melting, faster. the time of foster store to such an extent that the rocks no longer from was named place to be reinforced with steel bonds to prevent dangers crumbling beneath the observatory to oh, here we are on the top measuring terrorist we're, we're starting with
5:55 am
