The focus of those carbon offset projects is set on the direct benefit of eliminating and minimizing carbon emissions in adopted projects at places where it is most efficient. However, recent studies have shown that benefits such as environmental and social outcomes are also delivered through the implementation of carbon offset projects. Those so called co-benefits such as health improvements, creation of job opportunities, better qualitiy of life as well as enabling of education are concrete and comprehensible outputs compared to the impalpable greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
