Program

During this morning session you are introduced to several relevant projects, their status, challenges and opportunities. We talk about the perspective of the startup, the large corporate, the supporting infrastructure and the legal perspective.  Since tokens do not know of any borders and carbon offsets often take place in remote areas that are more difficult to control, transparency and governance are key to the trustworthiness of tokenization. We will guide you through challenges and solutions, along pitfalls and fast lanes. If you wish to have your case featured, please reach out to iris@2tokens.org.

The goal of a carbon token is to create economic incentives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. Product Passports trace the origins of Carbon Emissions and captures those in tokens. However, there are several concerns and criticisms associated with the concept of carbon tokens:

Lack of Additionality

Lack of Transparency:

Insufficient Reductions

Inequitable Distribution:

Our first speaker, will take you through the opportunities and challenges of tokenization of the voluntary carbon market.

Reducing sustainability fraud with Product Passports

By Hania Othman - Hedera Guardian (TBC)

The Hedera Guardian is an open-source platform that leverages the Hedera public distributed ledger network to enable methodologies to be created and dMRV (Digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) to become a reality. By acting as the guard rails for the rulesets in carbon markets, emissions, accounting, and biodiversity the Hedera Guardian provides auditable, traceable, and reproducible records that document the process and lifecycle of environmental assets, which reduces fraud in sustainability markets.
