- •
Biodiversity offsets are often required to be like-for-like (non-flexible in type).
- •
Research has proposed that more flexible offsetting (in-type and otherwise) could be beneficial.
- •
We systematically categorise the various ways in which offsets could be flexible.
- •
Via simulation models, we show flexible offsets can have unintended consequences.
- •
Our work provides a means for considering flexibility in offset policy development.
