EMISSION ACCOUNTING
Supply Chains, Consumer Disclosure and Differentiated Commodities

If we embed trusted emission data at the product level, can we design differentiated commodities that are priced considering their externalities? 

This dialogue will bring together leading thinkers in the emission tracking sectors to discuss how digital technologies can deliver and trust to track and account emissions throughout their life cycle and explore the important implications for this.

Cross platform integration and protocols

How can we define a common digital  'language' for integrating a climate accounting system?

This dialogue will convene top thinkers and projects that are exploring how to better manage climate data in an increasing heterogeneous space for standards,  registries, and policy frameworks.

Can we integrate non-state actor data into national country inventories? Can the Voluntary Climate Market interoperate with compliance markets?

To do so, all players will have to agree on common technology practices and data standards.

Digital automation for climate bonds and community-scale project finance

How can we identify and build key digital infrastructure for smart climate financing?

Can we envision an end-to-end digital climate bond ecosystem that supports local action?

This dialogue convenes leading thinkers in the climate finance space with a strong background in financial technology. The dialogue will explore how automation (financial and contractual) can reduce costs and frictions in financing climate action, both from the angle of individual project development at the community scale, as well as from the perspective of large scale investors and asset managers. A vision of a fully integrated and open source  data and finance technology system for climate will be discussed.
