“It's my entire belief that when the activists truly understand what this technology can do, they will be handcuffing themselves to corporate headquarters demanding that companies use blockchain to do their primary recording.” — @dave__ford

“The one thing we know about blockchains is that they have a global reach, and they make things transparent to all and that is the core technological innovation that makes these markets suddenly unified and uniform.” — @el33th4xor

Join him at #Consensus2023.

“The UN says Data is the lifeblood of decision-making, the raw material for accountability.” — @rransil

“Voluntary carbon markets are made up of 99.8% of nature-based solutions, which of course we need. But really, in order to have an impact as it relates to climate, you have to get new removals. And you got to get new removals on-chain.”— @BZBronfman

“This technology is the ability to create a democratic playing field for additional services on top of raw data or on top of virtual tokenized assets that one can use.” — @el33th4xor

He'll dive deeper into this at #Consensus2023.

“The thing that we need to do today is get ... those trustworthy tokens online so people can trade them with some assurance that they actually represent some good for the environment. That I think is the biggest challenge ahead.” — @el33th4xor

“The crucial element for interoperability is how do you relate that offset to whatever claims you're making about the real world and use that to give people a high degree of confidence? And that's really where some of these crucial interoperability questions enter in.” — @rransil

.@HBAR_foundation has a $100 million+ grand fund for sustainability and building on the Hedera ecosystem, @geisenbergerwes notes.

“Companies tend to report on all of their sustainability targets once a year. And if you only report once a year, right firstly, that data is not generally machine-readable, which is a huge problem." — @rransil

”Carbon offset markets especially have been marred by unverifiable claims by carbon offsets that are not quite real. And so, that itself is a cause for concern.” — @el33th4xor, a @consensus2023 speaker

“As consumers, we need to hold [policymakers] accountable. Once we've got this transparency [and] we understand what their footprint looks like, we've got to hold them accountable to achieving whatever good is or whatever best practices." — @W_Alasdair

"By introducing new technologies and allowing people to ... separate companies that are really making good on their sustainability commitments from ones that aren't, that's going to really allow [and] give companies that are transparent an edge in getting investment.” — @rransil

“The time is now and the realization is that all of these different chains have to come together and work together. And that climate is the place that we can do it and the place that we have to do it.” — @dave__ford
