Agile Advisors provide Carbon footprint consultancy In UAE, Offsets are particularly useful when a nation finds it challenging to cut back on some of its domestic emissions, such as when it has a sizable oil and gas sector, similar to Norway. Acquiring offsets enables a nation to fund projects aimed at reducing its emissions outside of its boundaries, although it is occasionally criticized for "shifting the problem elsewhere." In many countries, the management of offsets needs to be improved. Climate experts emphasize that reducing domestic emissions is the primary strategy for achieving net zero emissions and preventing severe climate change, given the limitations of negative emissions technology and the objections to offsetting.
