Delegate representatives from the Climate Chain Coalition spoke at the Un Climate Change Conference, also known every bit COP26, in Glasgow, Scotland on Tuesday.

The Climate Concatenation Coalition, or CCC, is a global environmental initiative consisting of 250 member organizations and individuals aligned to apply blockchain, distributed ledger, or DLT, and other promising digital technology solutions to foster the growth of a climate-focused economy.

Hosted by CCC strategic director Miroslav Polzer, the panel of adept representatives, including Denby McDonnell, Tia Kansara and Cointelegraph editor-in-main, Kristina Cornèr, amongst others, spoke unequivocally most the importance of subjects ranging from carbon nonfungible tokens (NFTs) to accountability in corporate practices.

Programme director at the Blockchain For Climate Foundation Denby McDonnell spoke on the panel about her organization's endeavor to place the Paris Climate Understanding on the blockchain, specifically mentioning commodity vi.two, as well as discussing the recent launch of a new crypto-carbon platform, BITMO.

"The BITMO platform enables issuance and exchange of blockchain internationally transferred mitigation outcomes equally ERC-115 nonfungible tokens [NFT'southward] on the Ethereum blockchain."

Amid the rising adoption of carbon-credit certifications past tech firms to accurately verify and report their carbon emission data, thought leaders and experts from the field are calling for greater advocation of carbon-negativity, rather than what some accept considered "greenwashing" strategies.

McDonnell revealed the potential implications of the BITMO platform for facilitating transparent and openly accountable carbon data reporting, stating:

"BITMO is a secure record of issuance, transfer and retirement for each country'southward internationally transferred mitigation outcomes that tin be reconciled with national carbon registries and meet future UN requirements."

Tia Kansara, Chief Executive Officer of Furnish Earth, and special advisor to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), too as a newly-appointed fellow member of the coalition, spoke eloquently on the importance of embracing an assortment of technologies such as DLT to realize a net-positive economic model.

Our challenge going forward is two-fold. The first is going transboundary. At some betoken, we need to go beyond our own egotistical perspectives, our own nationalistic borders, to the ways through which nosotros can govern for the global commons.

The second is a step in consciousness. Nosotros cannot transform our lives past thinking and extending linear incremental models of the by, and the way that nosotros do that is by looking at borderland tech.

Also represented at the COP26 conference on Tuesday was the contained advisory group, Germanwatch, which published and presented its analytical findings in the Climatic change Functioning Index 2022.

The blended index investigated the environmental performance of 60 countries worldwide, collating the data into iv distinctive parameters aligned with consensus objectives in the Paris Climate Understanding, and so reporting those findings in a corresponding ranking list.

The group adamant that greenhouse gas emissions (GGE) should business relationship for 40% of the ranking organization, while energy utilisation, renewable energy and climate policy should be as distributed a twenty% share of the total.

Assessing growth over the prior few years, as well as defined targets that governments have publicly expressed, the alphabetize outlined the U.s., Canada, Russia, Algeria and Australia every bit just some of the more geographically prominent nations worthy of red scoring, the latter of which being the world's largest supplier of coal.

A stark admission was within the 'Very Loftier' scoring category which lay empty, despite Denmark, Sweden and Norway securing the top 3 spots.

Of the major industrialized nations, China moved up to 37th as a result of commended advancements in the renewable energy space, while the United States placed further down the rankings in 55th, one position above the Russian Federation.

Co-writer of the index Jan Burck shared his opinion of how readers and interpreters of the report should appraise the findings:

"As in the year before, we don't see any land with a perfect record. Fifty-fifty the countries in the front are non doing expert enough for being on track for well below ii degrees."
