Introducing: Klima the world’s first carbon currency

The perfect currency should be regenerative for our planet by pricing in the cost of carbon.

Klima DAO will demonstrate how a new monetary system — powered by decentralised governance and smart contracts — can be built that explicitly prices in carbon and generates value creation opportunities for its users. The economies of the 21st Century have to figure out how to reward and build on pro-climate activity and investment, not penalise it.

This is our contribution.

The chief problem with cryptocurrencies is the learning curve. The technology is both immensely complex and quickly evolving. To grok crypto in late-2021, you’ve got to understand blockchain and smart contracts and basic DeFi and then you have to keep up with onslaught of innovations. None of this is easy, so most people don’t bother.

Crypto has traditionally attracted those whose chief motivation is financial rewards, technological challenges or both. Lately, artists too have found a place in the crypto community with the rise of NFTs.

But there is one community that has consistently been left out: activists, organizers, protesters and all those whose primary passion is transformative social change. Not motivated to learn about crypto, most activists haven’t bothered to.

Until now, that is.
