MONEY REIMAGINED: The Solution to Climate Change Demands Web3 Technology

This episode is sponsored by Circle and Near. A climate change edition from Lisbon Portugal at Nearcon2022. “Money Reimagined,” hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are together again at Nearcon2022 to discuss blockchain sustainability and the data needed to combat the concerns of climate change. This topic is “near and dear to their hearts” because Michael and Sheila co-founded CISA, the Crypto Impact Sustainability Accelerator, at The World Economic Forum precisely to focus on topics such as this and the use cases for crypto and blockchain. On this episode they speak with guests Marc Johnson, an environmental solutions architect for Protocol Labs, and Fred Fournier, CEO of Open Forest Protocol.
