Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney and now UN special envoy for climate finance is calling for a $50 – 100bn per annum global carbon offsetting market. This has contributed to a growth of existing and new carbon offsetting markets.
However, is carbon offsetting the right mechanism for the transfer of funds from polluters to nature? Is it sustainable and does it have the right incentive mechanism to create effective change in our society?
In this live chat with Walid Al Saqqaf of Rebalance Earth, (https://www.rebalance.earth/) he discusses a re-imagined and new approach for making protection of nature a profitable experience. An approach that ensures that we can have both a growing economy and a regenerative nature. Using carbon offsetting as an initial approach, they are developing a more comprehensive and holistic one around biodiversity.
One of these aspects is how tokenisation and the role blockchain can play in proof of carbon offsetting.
