It
away
thanks
so
much
angie
and
thank
you
guys
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
to
talk
about
the
cryptic
climate
accord
just
a
bit
and
hopefully
begin
to
highlight
the
tremendous
impact
of
protocol
labs
and
filecoin
in
really
driving
progress
here.
So
I
joined
the
energy
web
team
back
in
june.
I
work
with
miriam
and
andres
who
you
heard
from
earlier
today
and
before
that
I
spent
most
of
my
career
working
within
the
united
nations
and
humanitarian
system.
B
So
a
lot
of
conversations
about
the
urgency
with
which
we
need
to
address
the
climate
crisis
and
how
we
need
to
save
the
planet
and
ultimately
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
all
of
her
inhabitants
and
not
surprisingly,
the
fundamental
challenge
with
global
interdisciplinary
work
is
that
it's
impossible
to
reach
consensus.
B
I
mean
we're
lucky
if
we
even
get
everybody
in
the
room
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
just
so
exciting
about
the
cryptoclimate
accord,
is
it's
it's
a
truly
global
effort
of
stakeholders
from
across
krypton
blockchain,
fintech
climate
energy
who've
all
come
together
with
a
sense
of
unity
and
collaboration.
I
mean
some
people
are
considered
direct
competitors
to
one
another
and
so
to
see
such
a
level
of
of
enthusiasm
and
action
behind
a
cause
is
really
incredible.
B
B
This
initiative
launched
in
april,
so
we've
seen
a
tremendous
amount
of
growth
in
a
very
short
time
and
more
than
half
that
actually
officially,
as
of
last
week,
we
officially
surpassed
the
number
of
supporters
with
the
number
of
secret
signatories,
so
more
than
half
are
making
an
additional
public
commitment
to
achieve
net
zero
emissions
from
their
electricity
consumption
and
verify
their
decarbonization
using
best
practices
within
the
next
decade,
which
is
really
really
groundbreaking.
B
I
think
the
the
simplest
talking
point
is
that
crypto
is
not
the
only
energy
intensive
industry,
it's
just
one,
but
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something
that
I
don't
think
anything
else
can
anyone
else
can
do,
which
is
embrace
rapid
innovation
and
make
change
very
quickly
in
a
very
decentralized
manner
and
and
one
that's
very
rooted
in
solutions
that
actually
have
widespread
application
for
for
all
users.
B
The
impact
of
moving
forward
really
aggressively
with
this
type
of
an
initiative
is,
is
really
tremendous
when
we
think
about
the
renewable
energy
market
miram
earlier
today
was
walking
us
through
the
what
wrecks
are
in
the
global
market
there,
and
even
by
the
most
conservative
estimates
of
the
crypto
industry's
annual
consumption,
it's
more
than
half
of
what
the
global
market
for
renewable
energy
certificates
actually
is.
So
what
we
can
do
together
is
not
only
decarbonize
but
position.
Crypto
stakeholders,
whether
they're
miners
or
exchanges
as
a
new
class.
B
A
renewable
energy
buyer
really
grow
that
market
and
that
contributes
to
electrifying
hard-to-reach
areas
that
contributes
to
investment
in
more
projects
that
are
ultimately
going
to
enable
us
to
tackle
these
really
big
daunting
global
goals.
In
a
very
in
a
very
nuanced
way,
the
crypto
climate
accord
is
not
owned
by
anybody.
True
to
the
spirit
of
our
work.
It's
it's
decentralized,
so
non-profit
energy
web
joined
forces
back
in
april
with
the
environmental
think
tank
rocky
mountain
institute
and
a
us-based
regulatory
engagement
firm.
B
The
alliance
for
innovative
regulation
just
to
begin
convening
activities
so
helping
make
sure
that
all
appropriate
stakeholders
are
actually
in
the
room
that
we
have
a
path
forward,
that
we're
able
to
do
a
needs
assessment
and
understand
what
are
those
gaps
in
information
and
technology
that
we
then
need
to
work
together
to
address
the
way
that
the
cca
operates
is
very
much
like
a
like
a
potluck.
You
bring
what
you
can
when
you
can.
By
being
a
supporter.
What
that
means
is
companies
are
just
signaling
that
this
is
a
priority.
B
This
is
not
a
certification
or
greenwashing
a
way
of
just
saying:
yeah,
you've
done
what
you
needed
to
do
and
you're
all
set
and
can
white
paper
yourself
out
of
the
the
mess
that
you've
made.
It's
a
very
intentional
effort
to
really
focus
on
developing
the
standards
developing
the
technology
that
we
need
to
move
our
industry
forward.
B
The
three
primary
activities
under
the
cca
umbrella
really
start
with
this
idea:
around
benchmarking
and
good
industry
practices.
The
rocky
mountain
institute
or
rmi
has
spearheaded
a
lot
of
this
work
in
collaboration
with
a
number
of
other
companies
within
the
community.
That's
focused
on
how
we
actually
account
for
skill
3
emissions
associated
with
the
crypto
industry
and
their
report
on
cryptocarbon
accounting
should
be
out
hopefully
by
the
end
of
this
month,
and
that
clarity
is
is
really
essential.
B
We
heard
earlier
today,
from
a
number
of
speakers
just
being
able
to
produce
that
range
and
develop
a
strategy
around
that
to
decarbonize
is
really
the
first
step
and
what's
exciting
about
their
work.
Is
that
that
is
then
preceding
the
next
part,
which
is
good
buyer
practices?
How
do
we
issue
more
clarity
around
if
you
do
x,
you
can
claim
y
reducing
that
barrier
to
entry
and
bridging
that
gap
in
misinformation.
B
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
really
fantastic,
ground-breaking
development
on
that
aspect
from
the
text
solution
toolbox
I'll
go
into
the
details
of
what
we're
doing
there,
but
I
think
miram
and
andres
did
a
fantastic
job
of
work,
walking
us
through
through
xero
and
how
the
collaboration
with
protocol
labs
has
really
informed
and
guided
that
development,
and
then
the
third
aspect
of
our
work,
which
is
just
as
essential,
is
being
able
to
actually
report
out
what
we're
doing
and
making
sure
that
we're
telling
the
story
of
crypto
in
a
way
that
is
truthful,
but
also
in
a
way.
B
That's
that's,
really
clear
and
that's
really
digestible
and
understandable,
offering
these
clear
pathways
for
other
industries
and
those
within
our
industry
to
follow
suit
and
also
to
to
bridge
that
gap.
In
understanding
of
you
know,
where
are
we
now?
Where
do
we
need
to
go?
What
are
we
doing
to
get
there?
What
lessons
have
we
learned
along
the
way?
B
The
crypto
climate
accords?
Solutions
have
primarily
focused
on
delivering
technology
and
standards
for
minors,
exchanges
and
investors
primarily
around
these
three
key
themes,
which
is
energy
calculation,
the
digitization
of
renewables
and
simplifying
the
procurement
process
and
delivering
this
verification
of
proof
of
grain.
B
So
essentially
breaking
that
down,
particularly
with
the
work
that
rmi
is
leading
by
enabling
whether
it's
exchanges,
mining
operators
really
any
stakeholder
within
the
space
to
be
able
to
estimate
the
emissions
that
they
have
associated
with
either
their
crypto
holdings
or
production.
What
have
you
paired
with
simplifying
the
process
of
procurement
so
by
tokenizing
and
digitizing
environmental
commodities,
starting
with
rex,
through
xero,
but
ideally
branching
into
carbon,
offsets
carbon
removal
credits
so
that
any
type
of
stakeholder
can
pursue
the
esg
strategy?
B
That
makes
the
most
sense
to
them
and
then
further
pairing
that
with
this
ability
to
track
and
verify
renewable
energies?
B
So,
ultimately,
that's
what
we're
working
towards
with
the
crypto
climate
accord.
It's
this
private
sector-led,
almost
very
grassroots
field,
type
of
an
environment
where
folks
contribute
what
they
can
in
order
to
build
these
clear
pathways
towards
decarbonization,
it's
incredibly
exciting
environment
and
love
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
protocol
labs
and
final
coin
through
this,
this
umbrella
endeavor,
and
for
those
here
who
are
interested
in
learning
more,
I
hope
you'll
get
in
touch
with
us.
Thank
you.
So
much.
