Compensation of a broad set of environmental impacts beyond climate change

The “Circular Ecosystem Compensation” approach is presented in a new publication. Through using the methods “Life Cycle Assessment”, “Monetization” and “Renaturation”, the compensation of environmental impacts beyond climate change is enabled. Different environmental burdens are thus compensated through environmental gains on a monetary basis. Die compensation measures take place in an existing ecosystem. The publication further showes, how the approach is implemented by our project partner HeimatERBE (http://greenzero-standard.de/).
