Will this be the end of carbon offsets?

The market for carbon offset credits is currently facing a renewed surge in criticism as more than 80 non-profit organizations have come together to oppose their use in climate strategies. These activists argue that carbon offsets undermine genuine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and call for their complete exclusion from climate regulations and guidelines.

Carbon credits, also called offsets, are used as a tool to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by allowing companies and governments to invest in projects that are said to reduce or eliminate emissions elsewhere. This procedure became part of the efforts to achieve the goals of zero net emissions. (Jennifer L, more at carboncredits.com)
