From Carbon to Coins: Exploring Tokenization in the Green Economy
The discussion will spotlight the surging significance of blockchain within the context of carbon markets and energy trading. As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, blockchain’s role in providing transparency and traceability to carbon credits becomes ever more vital. Our panelists will delve into how blockchain enhances trust and efficiency in these markets, fostering a more sustainable and accountable approach.
We’ll examine the profound impact of tokenization on the accessibility and tradeability of green assets. By tokenizing these assets, we can democratize access to sustainable investments, enhancing market liquidity and mobilizing capital toward environmentally responsible projects. Our experts will explore how tokenization can be a catalyst for channeling funds into ventures that support a greener future.
Lastly, our panel will investigate blockchain’s potential as a tool to accelerate the circular economy. By creating transparent and immutable supply chains, blockchain can reduce waste, promote resource efficiency, and encourage the recycling and repurposing of materials, thus advancing the circular economy paradigm.
Join us for this enlightening session, where industry thought leaders will illuminate the transformative impact of blockchain-based tokenization on the green economy, carbon markets, and the pursuit of a more sustainable future.

Vincent KatchavendaCOO | Erable
Exploring how technology, art, and science can enable humanity to confront social and environmental crises is a mission I am deeply committed to.
My guiding philosophy is centered on utilizing decentralized, unrestricted, and immune-to-censorship technology. This serves as a tool for shaping a new societal paradigm, promoting the creation, management, and development of inclusive and sustainable socio-economic systems.
Web3 and its foundational technologies represent a major shift. They leverage the collective power of individuals and digital communities, fueling the creation of new initiatives and addressing entrenched societal challenges. This transformation redefines power dynamics, elevating the role of digital communities above traditional stakeholders and ensuring their integral participation in value creation.
I am firmly convinced that these innovative models provide a groundbreaking platform to tackle systemic issues such as inequality, poverty, and climate change.
Since 2017, I have been actively involved in numerous projects on different key focus areas:
– Climate Action & Environmental Sustainability
– Financial Inclusion & Equitable Wealth Distribution
– Education & Digital Literacy for Web3 Adoption
– Transparent & Decentralized Governance Models
– Community-driven Social Impact Initiatives
