Carbon as Currency?
GreenBuzz | Zurich | 18th September, 2024
Despite pledges and international agreements, global carbon emissions are still on the rise. In order to come anywhere near reaching the 1.5 goal of the Paris Climate Agreement, rethinking of economic systems and large scale climate solutions are needed. The 2020 blockbuster novel “The Ministry for the Future” explored the idea of a carbon coin to reduce emissions. At this one-of-a-kind event, we explore the intersection of blockchain, currency, and carbon and discuss the feasibility of greening economics.
