'A carefully researched book on carbon market mechanisms that builds on two separate research themes of legal-institutional design and emerging technologies in addressing the underlying regulatory and institutional implications. The book offers innovative and ingenious analysis by combining the two themes with practical conclusions and recommendations. Governing Carbon Markets with Distributed Ledger Technology discusses the crypto-legal structure that can support the decentralization of carbon market governance.' Satya S. Tripathi, Secretary-General, Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet; former United Nations Assistant Secretary General (UNEP) 'Carbon pricing and the application of distributed ledger technology are two of the signal developments in markets today. This fascinating book investigates the potential for DLT to strengthen the governance of carbon markets and thereby contribute to meeting the urgent goals of the Paris Agreement. Offering the first ever book-length treatment of this topic, the editors have marshalled technical, legal and policy expertise that will be of equal value to scholars and practitioners.' Stephen Minas, Chair, UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee and Associate Professor, Peking University School of Transnational Law 'Distributed registry technologies are among the emerging solutions that have great potential to improve the transparency and development of carbon markets. This book provides an in-depth analysis of their potential to address some of the current barriers that could compromise the operationalisation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The authors also examine in depth the legal and technical challenges that will need to be addressed. This is clearly a compass providing new perspectives for policy makers, regulators and climate negotiators.' El hadji Mbaye Diagne, UNFCCC Negotiator for Carbon Markets, Senegal 'Emerging digital technologies will definitely have transformative impacts on climate actions. Therefore, we urgently need to work together to leverage the full potentials of these technologies, and this new book shows how they can be mobilized in an important area of climate policy implementation: carbon markets. Distributed ledger technology and other innovations can play a critical role in ensuring the integrity and efficiency of carbon trading, and this timely volume - authored by an interdisciplinary team of experts - offers us a blueprint for doing so. A good read.' Quamrul Chowdhury, Former Chair, Kyoto Protocol Joint Implementation Committee; Lead Climate Negotiator of G77 and LDCs 'As countries strive for solutions to implement the Paris Agreement, this book proposes to exploit the potentialities of distributed ledger technologies, particularly Blockchain, to enhance transparency as well as build more resilient carbon markets.' Ambassador Seyni Alfa Nafo, Technical Coordinator of the Africa Adaptation Initiative (AAI)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
