Can blockchain and climate tech tackle global warming?

Reducing our carbon footprint is essential to tackling global warming, but doing so is going to take a lot of money and energy. Enter the carbon-credit market, which is becoming a big business worldwide, including here in Miami which is ground zero for climate change. Many of our top leaders are betting on a combination of public and private partnerships to help get Miami-Dade County to net-zero emissions by 2050. Miami-based ClimateTrade makes it easier – and more transparent – for companies to fiscally manage carbon offsets through a virtual marketplace. “Our mission is to help the companies in Miami (and the United States) to understand why this is important for them and the path they have to do it to decarbonize,” co-founder and CEO Francisco “Fran” Benedito told us during our studio interview. ClimateTrade recently relocated its headquarters from Spain to Miami, which is “a great place to experiment” and “bring our company to help evangelize about this,” Benedito explained about their efforts to help companies decarbonize by using climate tech and blockchain.
