The world is not on track to limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 °C in 2030. As we fall short of our climate goals, the next steps in the road to net zero seems fraught with uncertainty.
Carbon markets, as it currently stands, are in flux. Price, policies, and politics remain critical roadblocks in the decarbonisation agenda. Amidst the debates, it is critical that we do not allow imperfection to impede progress and lose sight of our north star – global decarbonisation for a net zero future. It is imperative that we do not become paralysed into a state of stagnation because inaction today will have profound consequences tomorrow.
Themed ‘The Next Steps’, the second edition of the GenZero Climate Summit will focus on the pivotal and concrete course of actions required to overcome challenges and accelerate decarbonisation globally.

Memery Crystal July Breakfast Briefing
2023-07-06 08:30 - 23:00 (Europe/London)
July Breakfast Briefing: How are digital assets and blockchain being used to drive ESG goals and how compatible is the technology with those goals?

What are the market trends in digital ESG and how can blockchain technology support and enable sustainability initiatives?
Blockchains and cryptocurrencies are frequently criticised in media headlines for their environmental impact. Whilst the technology is developing with the move to green Bitcoin mining, the transition of Ethereum to proof-of-stake and so on, are these negative headlines a fair representation of the technology’s ESG potential?
What are the positives that distributed ledger technology can bring in ESG, such as use of blockchain to provide transparency in ESG investing or using blockchain networks and tokens as a tool for incentivising sustainability or supporting diversity and social impact? And how can Web 3 technologies be utilised to further social impact projects?
Can blockchain open up access to ESG projects? For example, by knitting together fragmented initiatives, providing access to multiple liquidity pools and access to registries. Can it do so with a lower carbon footprint than would otherwise be achievable? How can the ESG community come together with the digital asset community to harness the best expertise from both worlds?
Speakers:

Helen Disney, Director of Blockchain and Digital Assets, The Realization Group (Moderator)
Laura Clatworthy, Partner, Rosenblatt
