			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Australian Government released the <a href="../why-we-are/what-is/national-carbon-offset-standard/">National Carbon Offset Standard</a> (NCOS) on 24 November 2009.</p>
<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/National-Carbon-Offset-Standard-Nov-2009.pdf" target="_blank">Download a copy of the National Carbon Offset Standards</a>.</p>
<p>It comes into effect 1 July 2010 and will help set the standards for offsets in Australia.  It is unclear at the moment how the rejection of the CPRS will affect Australian offsets.</p>
<p>It is pleasing that <a href="../the-ultimate-step/carbon-offset-portolio/types-of-offsets-used/">Gold Standard </a>offsets are accepted — Beyond Neutral® sells these because they address the <a href="../the-ultimate-step/more-than-neutrality/underlying-concepts/">twin imperatives </a>and are high quality (<a href="../why-we-are/what-is/vcs-vcs-gold-standard/">more information on Gold Standard</a>).</p>
