| Abstract: |
| Establishment of oil palm plantations is one of the most important drivers of land conversion in Indonesia and associated carbon emissions. Emerging standards for ‘carbon neutrality’ claims by the industry address the concerns of those global consumers who take responsibility for the carbon footprint of products they buy. A recent proposal by key players in the industry (Raison et al 2015) takes a stance on where carbon neutrality can be claimed – our results differ. |
