A
Our
our
goal
with
the
summit
is
to
bring
together
the
people
in
the
world
who
are
the
most
knowledgeable
about
sustainability
and
about
web3
right,
so
the
intersection
of
sustainability
with
web3
to
build
tools
to
decarbonize
the
global,
the
global
economy
faster
than
is
possible
without
without
web3
right
with
just
what
web
2
tools.
So
I
want
to
welcome
you
all
here.
Thank
you
for
coming.
Please
help
us
decarbonize
the
summit.
A
A
We
wanna
do
a
comprehensive
carbon
accounting
of
the
emissions
that
it
took
to
actually
get
everyone
here
and
connect
that,
with
with
offsets
and
in
a
minute,
oh
yeah,
it's
here
there's
a
qr
code,
perfect
that
I'm
probably
blocking,
but
you
know
please,
please
let
us
know
this
information.
We
will.
You
know,
do
that
accounting
and
match
match
transportation.
A
Emissions
with
with
web3
native
offsets-
and
so
what
I
wanted
to
start
out
with
is
this
idea
that
couching
global
warming
in
terms
of
warming
since
pre-industrial
times
makes
this
seem
slow
and
gradual,
but
it's
not
so
here's
a
graph
of
average
global
temperatures
over
the
last
few
decades
I
was
born
in
1988
about
two-thirds
of
warming
has
actually
occurred
during
my
lifetime
right.
So
this
work
should
feel
very
urgent
right.
We
have,
over
the
course
of
a
few
decades
gone
from
a
regime.
A
That's
that's
not
just
the
temperature
in
which
we
built
we
built.
You
know
our
industrialized
society,
but
also
most
of
human
history
and
prehistory
we've
moved
from
that
regime
into
this.
This
completely
unknown
much
warmer
regime.
You
saw
this
over
the
past
week.
Here's
a
map
of
heat
waves
that
hit
all
across
europe
and
a
lot
of
the
rest
of
the
world.
We
registered
some
of
the
highest
temperatures
ever
recorded
in
weather
stations
across
the
eu
just
earlier
this
week.
A
Right
again,
this
should
feel
very
urgent
and,
to
underscore
this
point,
climate
change
isn't
even
the
planetary
boundary
that
we
should
feel
the
most
threatened
by
right.
So
the
planetary
boundaries
framework
gives
us
eight
different
categories
of
variables
that
we
can
measure
about
the
natural
world
and
defines
safe
ranges
for
those
variables
we're
exceeding
the
safe
range
for
global
warming,
but
we're
far
far
out
of
the
safe
range
for
biosphere
integrity.
So
this
is
the
rate
of
extinction
of
species.
A
Where
we're
you
know
we're
just
like,
fundamentally
in
an
unstable
regime,
an
unsustainable
regime
for
the
global
biosphere
and
also
phosphorus
and
nitrogen
flows.
So
that's
things
connected
to
agriculture
right,
so
we
need
to
broaden
the
scope
of
what
we
think
of
as
the
web3
sustainability
movement,
to
really
include
all
of
these
variables,
with
with
carbon,
getting
a
huge
amount
of
the
the
emphasis-
and
rightly
so,
it's
it's
very
important,
but
we
need
to
to
broaden
our
scope
as
much
as
possible,
and
so
what
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
today?
A
Firstly,
is
this
thesis
that
web
2,
plus
fiat
money,
is
actually
insufficient
to
solve
these
problems?
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
philosophy
of
that
a
bit,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
doing
in
foulcoin.
My
name
is
alan
ransel.
I'm
the
team
lead
for
falcoin
green,
which
is
the
sustainability
initiative
in
filecoin.
A
Talk
about
how
we're
building
these
systems
as
sort
of
an
example
of
something
approaching
a
global
web
3
native
carbon
accounting
ledger
talk
some
about
what
the
generalization
of
that
looks
like
what
does
the
web
3
global
sustainability
ledger?
Look
like
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
net
zero
is
not
enough
and
then
challenge
everyone
to
the
the
fifth
number.
One
on
this
list
challenge
everyone
to
to
think
about
a
few
different
things
at
the
summit.
A
So
the
economy
is
an
information
processing
system
right,
so
you
can
frame
the
difference
between
marx
and
hayek
as
fundamentally,
where
does
the
information
reside
in
the
economy
in
order
to
make
the
decisions
that
we
need
to
make
right
another
place,
you
see
the
economy
as
an
information
processing
system
is
in
kosa's
theory
of
the
firm,
so
cos
asked
why
do
companies
exist
right?
Why
don't?
A
We
just
have
an
economy
in
which
individuals
exchange
with
other
individuals
and
there's
no
there's
no
firm
type,
no
company
type
structure
and
the
conclusion
he
came
to
is
that
the
boundary
of
a
firm
has
to
do
with
trust
right.
So
the
difference
between
transactions
in
between
firms,
external
transactions
versus
transactions,
internal
to
firms,
is
this
presumption
of
trust
and
presumption
of
alignment
that
changes
which
types
of
transactions
you
can
make.
A
So
within
a
firm
you
have
these
on
these,
these
sort
of
less
bounded
more
more
broadly
scoped
in
time,
as
well
as
in
complexity
transactions
that
you
can
only
do.
You
can
only
bring
this
sort
of
complex,
rich
information
into
these
transactions
because
of
that
assumption
of
alignment
within
firms,
whereas
external
to
firms,
you
have
much
simpler
transactions
that
often
take
place
over
much
narrower
periods
of
time,
because
all
you
can
do
is
exchange
price
signal
information
efficiently.
You
can't
exchange
that
rich
information,
because
you
don't
have
a
way
of
verifying
it.
A
You
don't
have
a
way.
You
don't
have
a
presumption
of
alignment
from
firm
to
firm
right,
and
so
what
that
means
is
that
the
centralization
that
is
inherent
to
companies
that
we've
built
our
entire
extractive
economy,
based
on
that
centralization
within
individual
firms,
is
an
informational
crutch
right.
So
only
price
signal
information
can
pass
in
between
firms.
We've
built
our
extractive
economy.
Using
this
crutch,
this
this
presumption
is
really
central
to
how
we've
built
the
economy,
and
now
we
have
the
tools
to
rebuild
it
right.
A
So
what
does
this
mean
for
something
like
the
greenhouse
gas
protocol,
where
we
really
need
much
richer
informational
sets
than
just
price
signal
information
to
be
able
to
be
transported
in
between
firms?
So
you
know:
there's
people
with
a
wide
wide
range
of
backgrounds.
Here,
I'm
going
to
sketch
out
the
greenhouse
gas
protocol
in
in
sort
of
very
broad
terms
quickly.
So
you
want
to
understand
what
the
emissions
are
for
an
individual
company
or
an
individual
organization,
an
individual
project.
You
look
at
the
scope.
One
emissions
fire
is
is
all
sorts
of
cool
colors.
A
A
You
know
what
your
carbon
intensity
is.
You
can
use
that
in
your
internal
reports
and
your
reports
to
investors.
You
can
also
pass
that
information
downstream
to
your
customers.
So
they
know
what
the
carbon
intensity
of
your
products
is
right.
So
emissions
accounting
is
a
complex
exercise
and
building
up
right
to.
Why
do
we
need
web
3
in
order
to
track
emissions
across
the
economy?
A
So
admissions
accounting
is
a
complex
exercise,
and
so
it
takes
auditors
months
to
complete
and
if
you
imagine
a
value
chain,
possibly
a
very
complex
value
chain
and
every
individual
link
in
this
value
chain
is
only
doing
this
exercise
every
year
or
so
because
it
takes
auditors
manually
a
long
time.
In
order
to
do
this,
every
hop
down
this
value
chain,
the
information
becomes
a
year
old
right,
and
so,
if
company
a
changes,
something
they
report
after
several
months,
maybe
a
year
company
b
gets
that
information.
A
It
ingests
the
carbon
intensity
of
the
products
from
company
a
then
it
takes
another
year
in
order
to
do
its
own
sustainability
reporting.
Then
it
passes
that
information
in
company
c
that
information
is
two
years
old
by
the
time
it
gets
to
company
c.
So
if
you
see
the
economy
as
an
information
processing
system-
and
you
see
the
time
scale
of
information
flow
as
being
one
year
per
hop,
and
then
you
look
at
the
ipcc
report,
which
says
we
need
to
decarbonize
the
entire
global
economy
by
40
within
eight
years.
A
A
So
the
second
number
one
building
sustainability
tools
into
the
falcon
ecosystem.
How
are
we
approaching
this
so
falcon
green?
Is
our
effort
to
turn
environmental
accounting
into
a
web
3
superpower.
So
we
want
to
do
this
by
making
falcon
verifiably
sustainable
and
by
building
the
best
tools
in
the
world,
to
reduce
and
and
to
measure
and
reduce
environmental
impacts
with
with
all
of
you,
ipfs
and
filecoin.
Ipfs
is
a
content
delivery
network
filecoin
is
the
data
storage
layer
of
web3.
A
This
is
a
lot
like
in
the
web
2
world
akamai
versus
something
like
aws
or
google.
So
filocoin
uses
electricity
in
two
different
ways
you
have
to
seal
data.
So
sealing
is
the
process
of
setting
up
a
zero
knowledge.
Proof
circuit.
That's
going
to
allow
you
to
prove
that
you're
storing
data
over
time.
Then
you
actually
have
to
store
that
data.
So
these
are
two
different
ways:
filecoin
uses
energy.
We
can
take
proofs
of
ceiling
and
storage
from
the
filecoin
blockchain
translate
those
into
energy
use
profiles.
A
If
you
want
more
information
and
links
to
a
bunch
of
the
information
in
these
slides,
we
can
translate
the
the
the
sealing
and
storage
proofs
on
the
falcon
blockchain
into
an
energy
use
profile
so
that
we
can
look
at
for
the
network
as
a
whole
and
for
individual
nodes
on
the
network.
We
can
estimate
their
energy
use
and
we
have
a
dashboard
in
order
to
do
that.
One
of
the
sets
of
questions
that
you
can
look
at,
then,
is
how
big
is
the
filecoin
network?
How
much
energy
does
it
use?
A
It's
about
point
eight,
seven
percent
of
all
of
the
data
stored
in
data
centers
throughout
the
world
at
the
moment
and
uses
about
point
six:
seven
percent
of
the
energy
used
by
data
centers.
That
means
that
ceiling
energy
is
about
comparable
a
little
less
than
typical
workloads
run
on
data
at
data
centers
right.
A
A
They
can
then
mint
a
renewable
energy
certificate
which
the
file
coin
node
can
purchase,
and
then
we
can
make
these
claims
about
using
renewable
energy,
so
that
purchase
is
a
public
proof
that
this
node
uses
the
renewable
energy
produced,
not
just
in
general,
within
a
region
but
from
a
specific
solar
farm
or
wind
farm
over
a
given
time
period
right.
So
that's
the
degree
of
verifiability,
the
degree
of
granularity
that
we're
we're
aiming
for
in
these
systems.
A
There
are
three
different
sustainability
tiers
based
on
the
rigor
and
transparency
of
these
sustainability
claims,
and
we've
we've
taken
the
information
in
this
and
hollande,
which
is
a
falcon
storage
provider,
has
published
an
esg
report
both
for
their
operations
and
for
the
falcon
network
as
a
whole,
which
we
believe
is
the
first
comprehensive
esg
report
for
a
major
crypto
network
that
we
just
announced
today.
So
please
check
out
the
report
and
check
out
the
the
press
release
that's
out
there.
A
A
You
can
then
see
the
net
energy
use,
so
this
is
just
a
readout
from
their
their
net
draw
from
the
local
power
grid,
and
you
can
see
hour-by-hour
or
15-minute
period
by
15-minute
period
what
their
rooftop
solar
production
is
right.
So
so
this
is.
This
is
again
like
this
is
the
level
of
granularity
that
we're
aiming
for,
and
the
level
of
verifiability
that
we're
aiming
for
right.
A
So
they're
submitting
all
of
this
information
to
a
third
party
auditor
that
third
party
auditor
is
signing
it
and
putting
making
it
available
on
ipld,
where
everything
is
being
content
addressed.
Everything
is
being
unambiguously
mapped
to
these
services
right,
which
is
the
the
baseline
that
we're
going
to
build
all
of
this.
This
web
3
native
sustainability,
accounting
based
on
so
third
number
one.
What
will
the
web3
global
sustainability
ledger?
Look
like?
Well,
so
we're
we're.
A
You
know,
we've
gotten
part
of
the
way
there
right
and
talking
through
this
here's,
the
the
foul
coin
value
chain.
What
we're
doing
is
building
tools
to
measure
the
environmental
impact
at
every
spot
along
this
value
chain,
which
then
means
that
anyone,
no
matter
where
they
are
in
the
value
chain,
can
see
what
decisions
they're
making
and
how
they
can
make
decisions
to
reduce
their
environmental
impact.
What
is
the
environmental
impact
of
the
decisions
I'm
making
now?
What
options
do
I
have
available
to
reduce
that
impact?
A
And
so
I'm
going
to
come
back
right
to
this
claim
that
fiat
money
is
a
computationally,
insufficient
substrate
for
modeling
environmental
externalities
right?
This
is
fundamentally
why
we
need
web3.
What
does
that
mean,
so
so
fiat
money?
It
knows
how
to
it
knows
how
to
add
right
knows
how
to
add
and
subtract
like
you,
you
have
you
have
some
money
and
you
have
some
other
money
and
you
put
them
together
and
you
have
the
the
sum
of
that
amount
of
money
right.
A
But
that
is
not
how
ecosystems
work
right,
so
you
have
a
plot
of
land
and
you
have
another
plot
of
land,
and
the
question
is
when
I
have
those
those
two
plots
of
land-
and
I
put
them
together,
what
is
the
effect
on
things
like
biodiversity
of
those
two
plots
of
land
right,
and
you
can't
just
tell
from
the
value
of
those
plots
of
land
right
what
the
effect
of
biodiversity
is
going
to
be
right.
So
I
have
you
know
this
plot
of
land
costs
this
much
money.
A
This
plot
of
land
costs
this
much
money,
so
you
know:
are
they
contiguous?
What
is
the
the
sort
of
native
biodiversity
of
that
land?
What
are
you
know,
local
phosphorous
or
nitrogen
flows
that
might
degrade
biodiversity?
All
these
different
things.
You
just
can't
reduce
environmental
value
to
a
price
signal
right.
You
need
these
richer
data
sets
to
flow
through
the
economy,
and
you
can't
wait
a
year
for
every
hop
from
from
company
to
company
for
that
information
to
flow.
A
So
we
need
better
tools
for
verifying
that
information
as
it
flows
through
the
economy.
So
auditors
don't
become
this
bottleneck
right.
So
so
you
know
back
to
the
greenhouse
gas
protocol.
Centralization
is
an
informational
crutch
right.
So
the
way
we
do
this
now
again
is
by
auditing
all
this
information
for
company
a
auditing.
All
this
information
with
company
b
and
every
time
we
want
to
do
a
report.
A
We
have
to
go
through
that
entire
auditing
process
right,
so
we
need
to
pass
information,
that's
richer
than
just
price
signals
from
firm
to
firm,
and
so
we
can
rebuild
this
architecture
right.
We
can
rebuild
this
architecture
using
primitives
of
web3.
We
can
rebuild
it
using
things
like
content,
addressing
right,
so
content
addressing
allows
us
to
refer
to
data
based
on
the
content
of
that
data,
rather
than
the
location
of
that
data
on
the
network,
which
means
we
can
make
claims
and
unambiguously
cite
the
information
that
is
leading
to
those
claims
right.
A
We
can
make
data
self-sovereign,
so
when
it
changes,
we
know
who
made
that
change.
Just
like.
Fundamentally,
we
know
who
made
that
change.
We
can
build
public
verifiability
into
these
claims.
These
are
things
like
I
was
talking
about
using
the
falcoin
proofs
of
ceiling
and
storage
to
underlie
these
energy
use
profiles
right,
so
you
can
publicly
verify
those
energy
use
ranges
based
on
cryptographic,
information
on
the
blockchain
right
and
we
can
use
zero
knowledge,
which
is,
is
I
don't
have
a
huge
amount
of
time
to
get
into
here?
A
But,
fundamentally
you
want
to
allow
company
a
say
to
make
representations
to
everyone
they
do
business
with
and
be
able
to
prove
that
what
they're
telling
one
of
their
customers
or
one
of
their
suppliers
matches
what
they're
telling
everyone
else
they
do
business
with
right,
but
they
don't
want
to
reveal
their
entire
book
right.
They
don't
want
to.
A
They
don't
want
to
tell
everyone
exactly
what
their
carbon
intensity
is
due
to
every
single
thing
on
their
on
their
balance
sheet
right,
so
we
need
to
build
and
we
have
the
ability
to
do
this
right.
Filecoin
is
the
the
largest
application
of
zero
knowledge
proofs.
That's
in
production
right
now.
We
need
the
ability
to
allow
people
to
make
these
claims
and
prove
these
claims
right.
A
Prove
that
what
they're
telling
one
person
agrees
with
what
they're
telling
everyone
else
without
actually
exposing
all
the
underlying
data,
because
they're
never
going
to
agree
to
that
right.
So
we
actually
have
the
cryptographic
tools
to
rebuild
this
informational
architecture,
to
allow
this
information
to
flow
quickly
from
point
to
point
in
that
supply
chain
and
that's
what
we
need
to
do
so
we
have
our
work.
A
Cut
out
for
us,
and
once
we
do
that,
the
goal
then
is:
can
we
allow
this
information
to
flow
through
the
economy
at
the
speed
of
price
signals
right
at
the
speed
that
price
signals
flow
through
the
economy?
Now?
Can
we
allow
sustainability
information
to
flow
from
from
point
to
point,
so
we
can
rebuild
the
global
accounting
system
right
to
transmit
data
in
minutes
not
in
months
right
to
transmit
sustainability
data
to
transmit
carbon
accounting
information
in
minutes,
not
in
months.
A
A
You
are
locking
in
this
extractive
infrastructure
that
is
causing
damage
beyond
just
that
that
number
right
that
co2
emissions
intensity
number,
and
so
we
need
to
you
know
this
is
the
reason
for
not
building
all
of
these
systems,
using
architecture
in
which
we
just
look
at
overall
emissions
for
a
project
or
a
network
or
whatever
it
is
and
match
that
with
offsets
right.
Offsets
are
really
important
right.
A
They
are
part
of
the
greenhouse
gas
protocol,
but
the
way
you
get
to
net
zero
is
first
reducing
all
of
your
emissions
as
much
as
you
possibly
can.
So
you
are
locking
in
fossil
fuel
infrastructure
as
little
as
you
possibly
can
afford
to,
and
then
you
offset
what
you
can't
reduce
right
and
every
because
every
time
you
are
paying
for
for
fuel,
you
are
locking
in
in
this
type
of
stuff,
and
that
is
degrading,
degrading
ecosystems.
A
It
is
making
us
surpass
planetary
boundaries
in
a
you
know,
really
detrimental
way,
far
more
than
just
by
emitting
co2
right.
So
net
zero
is
important,
but
net
zero
is
fundamentally
not
enough,
and
so
in
the
last
few
minutes
I
had
a
few
a
few
challenges
for
us
all
to
think
about
at
the
summit
and
they
are
one
through
six
labeled
one
through
six.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
magical.
So
the
first
thing
is,
you
know:
can
we
reduce
both
the
magnitude
and
then
net
value
of
emissions
right?
A
So
that
means
we
don't
just
look
at
that
top
line
number.
Can
we
build
systems
that
take
this
rich
data
on
all
of
our
environmental
impacts?
All
of
the
ways
in
which
we
are
contributing
to
planetary
boundaries
and
preserve
that
information
and
allow
anyone
anywhere
in
supply
chains
or
value
chains
to
see
what
those
impacts
are
and
what
they
can
do
to
reduce
those
impacts.
A
Third,
can
we
empower
people
on
the
ground,
so
web3
has
this
tremendous
power
to
involve
people
on
the
ground
directly
in
all
of
these
decisions,
and
in
all
this
governance
we
lose
so
there's
not
only
transparency
right,
transparency
is
important
and
frequently
when
you
have
when
you,
when
you
go
through
a
lot
of
intermediates
right,
you
lose
some
of
that
transparency,
but
you
also
lose
knowledge
right.
People
on
the
ground
know
more
and
are
more
directly
affected
by
all
of
these
decisions
right,
and
so
we
need
to.
A
Can
we
hold
sustainability,
claims
to
the
same
standard
of
verifiability
as
account
balances
right,
so
so
bitcoin
right,
one
of
the
major
innovations
of
bitcoin
was
well.
Wouldn't
it
be
great
if
everyone's
baking
information
were
public
right
right,
and
so
you
know
it's
anonymous,
but
you
can.
You
can
see
everything
right.
So
that
is
the
standard
that
we
should
hold
ourselves
to
when
we
are
building
these
accounting
systems
right.
So
how
can
we
do
that
then?
Fifth,
what
think
about
what
web
3
sustainability
tools
are
fundamentally
impossible
with
web
2
right?
A
So
I
think
that's
that's
a
frame
that
is
is
sometimes
assumed
right
or
sometimes
lost,
but
can
we
think
really
really
deeply
about
like
what
are
we
doing
here?
That
is
actually
impossible
to
do
with
just
fiat
money
and
web
2.,
because
my
hunch
is
that's
how
we're
going
to
make
the
most
progress
on
these
problems.
It's
going
to
focus
us
and
then
can
we
practice
rawzi
and
tech
development.
A
So
so
rawls
was
a
was
a
political
theorist
from
the
the
20th
century
and
he
said
that
when
you
are
designing
a
social
system,
can
you
have
the
people
working
out
the
rules
for
that
system
be
under
a
veil
of
ignorance,
which
he
meant
that
they
don't
know
which
which
position
in
that
society
that
they're
building
they're
going
to
occupy?
So
can
we
build
tools
that
lead
to
a
world
that
you
would
be
happy
to
live
in,
not
knowing
where,
in
that
world
you're
you're
going
to
inhabit
right?
A
Can
we
can
we
look
at
things
from
this
lens
of
doing
the
the
most
good
for
the
people,
who
are
at
least
advantaged
in
that
society?
So
you
would
want
to
live
there,
no
matter
who
you
are
in
that
society,
and
so
I
wanted
to
to
you,
know,
really
deeply
thank
a
ton
of
people
and
organizations
that
are
involved
in
this.

All
of
the
work
I've
just
been
talking
about
is
the
the
work
of
of
these
people,
who
are
all
specifically
there,
but
are
gonna
be
around
over
the
next
couple
of
days.
A
A
You
can
look
at

If
you
are,
you
know
if
you're
interested,
there's
a
bunch
of
different

and
please
again
help
us
decarbonize
the
summit
by
telling
us
how
you
got
here
so
that
we
can
go
through
a
process
of
matching
that,
transparently
with
carbon
offsets
in
order
to
reduce
our
impact.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
being
here
and
I'm
really
excited
for
the
next
couple
of
days.
