The Paris Agreement was built over the biggest scientific consensus in the history of Humankind.
We are reaching its threshold faster than expected: already 1.1 degrees above pre-industrial levels and counting.
2030 forecast: 1.5 disasters a day (earthquakes, tsunamis, electricity infrastructure loss: no internet- no blockchain)
More than 1.5 degrees means massive migrations, civilization collapse and potential extinction….

So
now,
I'm
here
with
you
guys
in
order
to
change
it
together,
right
and
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
some
of
my
some
of
my
learnings
my
thoughts.
My
feelings
from
all
this
experience,
especially
regarding
climate
change,
right
and
I,
would
like
to
to
work
with
you
in
order
to
get
a
solution
that
actually
really
transforms.
A
You
probably
when
you
think
about
you
and
you
think
of
a
most
conservative
or
maybe
Century
20
organization,
but
the
guys
were
encouraged
in
because
of
the
whole
science.
We
are
reading
the
whole
day
to
launch
this
sort
of
campaigns
right,
and
this
is
related
to
the
potential
Extinction
we're
about
to
face
due
to
climate
change.
A
You
are
probably
have
heard
about
the
Paris
agreement
and
you
we
need
to
understand
that
the
Paris
agreement
was
built
over
the
biggest
consensus
scientifically
and
politically
in
the
history
of
humankind.
This
is
this
is
strong
right,
so
we
when
we,
when
we
hear
about
the
1.5
degrees
we
we
shouldn't,
surpass
in
the
next
years.
What
is
that,
because
I
think
it's
very
difficult
to
embody
it
right
so
or
having
like
a
tangible
data?
A
A
So
that's
earthquakes,
tsunamis,
floods,
heat
waves,
everything
that
affects
obviously
people
lives,
but
also
infrastructure,
electricity,
infrastructure
and
so
the
internet,
and
so
this
blockchain.
So
we
we
really
need
to
be
specifically
concerned
on
this.
I
really
recommend
you
to
see
this
augmentary
is
very
it's
very
new
because
it
actually
appeals
to
how
we
create
negation
mechanisms.
When
we
hear
all
this
information-
and
it
happened
to
me
even
at
the
U.N
reading-
all
the
reports
and
being
part
of
the
report.
A
A
So
this
kind
of
paralyze
you
or
move
to
action,
real
action
so
going
into
my
diagnosis
of
why
we
are
here
in
this
situation.
I
think,
there's
a
clear
misleading
the
approach
that
is,
the
old,
the
Olin
sdgs.
You
know:
sdgs
Cadbury,
incredible
targets
of
poverty,
zero,
hunger,
zero,
clean
energy
for
everyone,
etc,
etc.
Right,
sustainable
consumption
production,
but
we
have
this
sdg,
which
is
number
eight
and
promotes
indefinite
economic
growth.
A
A
Well,
we
need
minerals
for
that.
We
need
extraction
according
to
the
World
Bank.
We
need
in
order
to
be
aligned
with
a
1.5
degrees
of
the
police
agreement.
We
need
three
billion
tons
of
minerals,
lithium,
Cobalt
graphite,
which
is
under
the
Amazon
down
the
Amazon
so
and
that
will
imply
a
lot
of
trade-offs
in
other
sectors
in
other
sdgs
I
know,
obviously,
a
massive
amount
of
burn
oil
of
burnt
oil
because
we
are
just
moving
the
the
mission
of
git
to
other
sectors,
transport,
extractives
and
the
industry.
A
A
The
principal
generators
of
climate
change
look
at
this
data
from
from
Oxfam
during
the
pandemic,
when
the
economy
was
shrinking,
453,
new
billionaires
in
this
sector
that
is
supposed
to
offset
in
order
to
get
below
the
1.5
rich
middlemen
in
2021
1
billion
dollars
for
the
current
market,
few
Traders
made
in
2021
and
in
the
this
is
the
worst
part
of
the
of
the
story,
because
these
are
the
guys
in
the
supply
side,
the
guys
that
are
protecting
the
ecosystems.
We
need
to
thrive.
A
Look
at
this
at
this
notice
from
from
our
community
in
in
India.
Sorry
in
Kenya,
these
projects
are
sending
people
out
and
they
can
even
not
afford
to
put
into
the
market
their
their
own
Supply
their
projects
because
they
are
made
for
the
rich
in
order
to
credit
and
be
able
to
sell
a
credit
to
presenter
projects,
you
need.
The
transaction
costs
are
huge.
A
So
that's
why
you
have
big
landowners
with
with
trees
with
forests,
claiming
reductions
from
I,
don't
know
a
hundred
thousand
hectares
Baseline
and
next
year
I
will
do
70
000.
You
can
pay
me
that
is
that
the
sdgs
are
them
supposed
to
do
that
so
getting
into
blockchain
what
is
happening
right
now.
You
probably
heard
also
about
the
hype
of
the
Eco
tokens
of
tokenizing,
this
voluntary
carbon
Market
credits
into
the
blockchain,
and
it's
very
interesting.
You
read
this
research
published
by
Thomson
Reuters,
also
like
one
month
ago
from
a
scandal.
A
That's
what
that
was
raised
in
Brazil
due
to
a
a
person
that
was
living
in
the
community
where
the
project
was
being
held
that
died.
He
died
in
the
project
and
due
to
his
death,
everyone
paid
attention
to
it
and
the
scam
was
off
what
was
leaked.
So
just
look
at
this.
This
crypto
company
in
Brazil
has
been
accused
of
packed
more
than
2
million
carbon
credits
and
turned
them
into
crypto
tokens
at
times
selling
the
grades
for
eight
times
more,
so
they
mixed
in
those
2
million.
A
They
mix
very
low
quality
credits
with
Middle
grades
and
they
packed
them.
I
mean
you
know
a
low
quality
credit
is
the
one
that
has
no
environmental,
robust
asset
behind
the
token
right.
That's
a
so
the
editor
who
this
was
a
WhatsApp
message
leaked
the
editor
who
initially
approved
the
project
a
decade
ago,
found
that
deforestation
may
have
been
displaced
to
land
nearby,
and
that
is
a
violation
of
one
of
the
main
principles
of
the
carbon
Market
or
the
voluntary
current
markets,
which
is
permanence,
but
it's
very
difficult.
A
How
can
we
ensure
we
measure
our
project?
It's
perfect.
How
can
we
ensure
that
the
deforestation
going
on
there
does
not
go
to
the
other
land
or
maybe
another
country
is
a
global
problem
and
they
didn't
even
trust.
They
created
150,
green
job,
150,
green
jobs
for
2
million
carbon
credits.
It's
a
huge
or
almost
nothing.
A
So
we
need
to
know
that,
although
this
and
we,
we
need
to
remind
I,
think
what
blockchain
has
been
built
for
the
the
the
core
principles
of
blockchain
right,
how
how
those
could
be
applied
into
this.
You
know
Upstream.
We
need
to
replace
those
few
offsets
for
those
big
polluters,
making
new
billionaires
in
the
most
polluting
sectors.
A
A
I
think
we
need
to
consider
and
I
would,
like
I've,
been
talking
with
a
lot
of
you
in
these
days
about
this,
because
I
I
I'm
not
an
expert
in
Dallas
nor
blockchain
as
well,
but
these
guys
are
500
Scholars
and
former
Ministers
of
environment
that
presented
a
letter
in
the
last
U.N
disaster.
Risk
management
conference
asking
the
U.N
to
replace
the
sdgs
for
a
more
sincere
agenda,
an
agenda
that
is
really
aligned
with
science,
that
is
focus
on
locally
LED
adaptation.
A
A
So
are
we
willing
to
put
ourselves
in
a
position
to
help
these
guys
to
put
because
they
probably
don't
know
what
blockchain
is
they
probably
haven't
even
think
of
this?
So
what
if
we
put
what?
If
a
ethereum
foundation
or
whoever
here
wants
to
collaborate
in
this
We
Make
some
noise
and
help
these
guys
or
through
the
blockchain
governance
tools,
we
have
create
a
capacity
building
and
create
a
pilot,
a
pilot
project
to
really
change
the
world.
A
So
going
back
to
the
many-to-many
approach,
I
told
in
the
in
the
carbon
Market
or
the
Eco
tokens,
this
pilot
is
is
not
has
not
been
already
executed,
but
it's
very
interesting
how
it
has
been
designed,
because
it
was
really
designed
from
many
to
many.
Although
it
was
it
was,
it
could
not
be
so
ambitious
at
the
beginning.
It
was
really
what
I'm
trying
to
say.
In
an
example,
you
can
see
those
investors
in
the
middle
with
the
project
try
to
gather
from
the
application
of
a
bank
where
almost
everybody
in
Argentina.
A
This
is
for
El
Taco
Argentina
in
the
North,
where
everyone
received
their
salary,
so
they
give
the
now
with
this
project,
they
should
give
the
option
instead
of
saving
with
something
else,
you
can
buy
an
Eco
token
and
in
the
supply
side.
This
is
a
very
interesting,
interesting
part
and
Diego
I.
Think
before
me.
He
spoke
something
of
interesting
things
about
this,
but
how
the
jurisdictional
authorities?
A
A
Sorry
Echo
tokens
Revenue
to
reach
directly
their
populations
living
in
the
forests
through
smart
contracts,
and
he
committed
himself
to
sign
a
bill
in
order
to
sort
of
delegate
his
mandate
in
in
that
regard,
not
not
the
jurisdiction,
because
that's
a
legal
problem,
but
to
delegate
and
I
think
that's
a
very
important
role
for
this.
For
for
the
estate
for
the
government
for
the
old
Paradigm
to
become
helper
of
these
two
to
to
actually
be
Unleashed
right
and
another
example.
A
I
wanted
to
share
with
you,
which
is
also
very,
very
brand
new
they're
working
already,
and
they
they
are
from
Colombia
they're
from
here
Echo
registry,
because
we
need
to
know
what
what
to
do
about
the
transition,
because
we
we
have
those
Coca-Cola,
Delta,
Airlines,
car,
Hill,
buyer,
whatever
willing
to
and
and
the
demand
for
carbon
credits
has
grown
exponentially
in
the
last
years,
not
the
supply.
Because
of
what
I
I
told
you
there's
no
money
to
create
projects,
but
yes,
they
demand.
A
There's
a
there
was
a
2
billion
annual
demand
for
credits
in
2021
I
think
we
should
harness
on,
but
how?
This
is
a
very
interesting
model
here
in
Colombia
that
is
spreading
into
other
countries,
so
they
are
not
going
to
they
don't
just
tokenize
a
carbon
credit,
whichever
the
current
credit
asset
quality
is,
but
they
migrate
into
blockchain.
Every
part
of
the
process
of
our
of
the
life
cycle
of
our
carbon
credit
from
their
project,
design,
formulation,
validation,
verification,
the
issuance
the
Bison
cells
that
could
be
before
retirement.
A
That
is
when
the
company,
the
corporation,
claims,
the
emission
reduction
and
they
are
making
this
very
transparent
and
very
efficient
to
the
point
that
the
average
in
the
market
of
reaching
money
to
the
developers
is
like
25
percent.
Roughly,
these
guys
are
reaching
now
50
percent
and
they
have
a
short-term
plan
of
reaching
70
percent,
so
that
could
be
a
smart
transition
that
could
be
because
those
numbers,
those
efficiency
numbers-
could
make
the
the
transaction
cost
easier
and
and
lower
for
the
small
communities
actually
to
to
be
involved.
A
A
B
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
the
talk
really
really
loved,
especially
the
ideas
about
making.
You
know
these
markets,
these
processes
more
inclusive,
many
to
many
I,
think
that's
a
transition
that,
like
all
the
impact
space,
really
needs
to
go
through
when
we
think
about
that,
though,
how
does
that
marry
with
the
fact
that,
like
carbon
markets
and
the
capital
moving
into
that
space,
just
needs
to
increase,
because,
like
the
two
billion
dollar
number
is
a
lot?
But
you
know
it's
probably
a
tenth
a
hundred
of
what
we're
going
to
need.
A
A
That's
trying
to
redirect
all
the
international
cooperation
cooperation
system
that
or
the
the
Paradigm
under
or
the
agenda
under
which
this
with
all
the
money
that
he
that
enters
the
U.N
and
also
the
bilateral
corporations
and
also
corporations,
are
flowing
the
money
too.
So
we
need
to
I
think
my
first
answer
would
be
to
we
need
to
redefine
the
politics
in
order
for
the
tool,
the
blockchain
tool
to
work
to
to
make
it
happen.
But
we
need
the
politics
right.
B
D
A
English
Okay:
well,
it's
it's!
Actually
it's
a
crazy
idea.
You
know
it's
idea
that
popped
into
my
mind
and
I
share
it
with
Paul.
Here
my
friend
from
ethereum
and
I
just
saw
that
I
I
am
very
involved
in
the
I
know,
a
lot
of
scientists
in
in
the
and
former
ministers
and
everyone
that
came
from
the
U.N,
so
I
I
get
I
get
to
see
this
this
letter
that
has
been
presented
in
this
in
this.
So
it's
it
was
just
an
idea
because
I
think
my
opinion
is.
A
E
Thank
you
for
the
talk
I
wanted
to
ask
in
relation
to
the
idea
of
many
to
many
that
sometimes
means
and
and
the
idea
of
taken
away
from
the
big
you
know
offsetters
and
empowering
the
little
local
impact
makers
that
requires
taking
the
technology
to
places
where
it
doesn't
really
exist
right.
So
how
do
we
Empower?
How
do
we
create
that
impact
so
that
it's
local
people
doing
things
for
themselves
instead
of
the
blockchain
industry,
trying
to
decide
on
their
behalf
and
think
they
know
what
they're
dealing
with
cool.
A
Very
very
interesting
question
and
obviously
my
first
concern
when
I
thought
of
this
was
yeah.
How
are
we
going
to
reach
a
person
that
does
not
have
a
cell
phone,
so
I
think
that
sagap
that
we
need
to
try
to
reverse
in
a
way
and
and
I
think
that
we
can
build
over
some
projects
right.
The
other
day
in
the
sustainability
blockchain
Summit
I've
heard
there
was
a
girl
from
Coco
I
think
it's
a
it's
called
Coco
project
or
coco,
and
she
was
working
in
this
here.
You
are
here
great
Amazing
Project.
