Under the newly launched Green Block Initiative at COP28 in the UAE, a global think tank and launchpad for sustainability projects, the joint Sustainability Venture Studio aims to empower sustainable projects worldwide. Spearheaded by The Hashgraph Association and Inacta Ventures, this initiative leverages the Hedera Guardian to establish fair carbon markets with unmatched trust and transparency.
The Hedera Guardian is an open-source platform that utilizes the Hedera distributed ledger technology (DLT) network to facilitate digital sustainability policies. It incorporates requirements-based digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) tokenization for carbon credits, significantly reducing fraud in the ESG market.
The Sustainability Venture Studio is backed by a $50 million investment, dedicated to enabling auditable and transparent climate finance transactions. The Hashgraph Association has committed $25 million, covering 50% of the investment, while the remaining $25 million is allocated for enterprises interested in developing sustainability projects using the Hedera Guardian over the next five years.
