8.1 The offsetting of vegetation planting is not viable if the vegetation does not survive. Profit based organisations fail to maintain and support vegetation as it is cheaper to re-plant, as is the protocol for the massiveily high carbon / high cost HS2 project. Measures to invalidate the offsetting if it does not survive the climate changes happening now and over the next 3 decades are needed. Droughts, fierce storm damage and flooding are caused by the high carbon infrastructure / built environment in the first place.
8.6 Re-wilding is the most efficient carbon reduction system and climate change reducer.

Option to upgrade completed building efficiency may be possible and preferable to a carbon offset payment; this should be made clear in the policy.

If it is necessary to include offsetting (which we do not favour) it must pass a stringent technical alternative test and NOT be permitted simply as an easier or cheaper option.

If a 9-year performance reassessment is required as suggested elsewhere, the same option - upgrade to original standard or costly carbon offset - should also be in the policy.

Will WDC set an example by committing not to seek carbon offset solutions to efficiency challenges?
