Native, a Public Benefit Corporation

Effective climate finance solutions require transparency, urgency, and rigor.

The topic of regenerative finance was explored in a World Economic Forum white paper, with interesting insights for companies that want to invest in climate solutions. Collective action and catalytic financing are necessary to meet the challenges of the climate crisis.

The authors wrote: “As the VCM has begun to scale up to meet growing corporate demand for carbon offsets to meet net zero targets, transparency has become a concern. For carbon markets to deliver on their promise, corporate buyers (and the general public) need to have confidence in their quality and integrity: carbon offsets need to transparently demonstrate causal and durable change to GHG concentrations while proving they are free from credibility concerns like double counting or leakage.“

Blockchain for Scaling Climate Action This paper is an output of the Crypto Sustainability Coalition’s Working Group on Web3 Climate Action, exploring the relationship between blockchain innovation and climate action, focusing on real work examples and use cases.

We are encouraged to see companies working collectively to finance significant progress toward global netzero.

In a paper titled “Blockchain for Scaling Climate Action,” World Economic Forum highlights businesses that have set their sights past offsetting their own emissions to finance climate-positive solutions that can have the greatest impact. “Some leading corporations are going beyond net-zero commitments. Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta and McKinsey & Company recently pooled $925 million into Frontier, an advance market commitment to buy permanent CDR credits. These buying groups signal that financing will be ready for suppliers who can generate high-quality CDR solutions.“
