ReFi DAO

🌍 What does it take to make climate finance more transparent and equitable? In Episode 11 of the ReFi Podcast, Tereza Bízková and Maya Dentzel dive deep into these critical questions with Anna Lerner Nesbitt, CEO of Climate Collective. Drawing from her experience at The World Bank and Meta, Anna shares bold ideas for scaling #impact and embedding equity into climate solutions. 💡 Key takeaways from the conversation: 1) Fixing #COP accountability: COP summits often lack follow-through. Blockchain offers a way to track climate pledges and ensure measurable outcomes. 2) Rethinking harmful subsidies: Trillions in subsidies harm ecosystems. Redirecting even a small fraction could significantly accelerate global #ClimateFinance. 3) Tech-driven #transparency: #Blockchain-backed biodiversity credits are bridging corporate commitments and tangible restoration efforts, ensuring verifiable conservation impacts. 4) AI for climate action: #AI is revolutionizing conservation with real-time monitoring of deforestation and ecosystem health. Small decision-making tools powered by AI can lead to significant environmental impact. 5) Advice for climate #founders: ✅ Focus on product market fit—solve real problems people understand. ✅ Build connections; warm introductions and networking are crucial for funding. ✅ Be curious; listen more and ask the right questions. Anna’s vision is practical, innovative, and focused on collaboration with local communities. 🎧 Tune in to the full conversation: YouTube: https://lnkd.in/g-PrF7s8 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gM5U8SN3 Apple: https://lnkd.in/gq8c5fJy What do you think is the most significant challenge in making climate finance work for people and the planet?

🎉 The Final Episode of Season 4 is Here! In Episode 12 of The Regeneration Nexus, Tereza Bízková & Maya Dentzel dive deep into the state of #blockchain adoption in #climate action with Wes Geisenberger, Vice President of Sustainability at The HBAR Foundation. Wes shares his insights from #COP29, where blockchain’s role in transparency, accountability, and collaboration took center stage. From #carbon markets to emissions tracking and #biodiversity conservation, blockchain is reshaping the tools and systems we rely on for global climate action. 🎙 Key topics covered in this episode: 1) Reframing accountability in climate finance: Blockchain digitizes methodologies, automates validation, and enables real-time transparency, addressing trust gaps. 2) Scaling carbon markets: Open-source, digitized methodologies are the key to solving bottlenecks and creating reliable, scalable carbon credits. 3) Shifting ReFi’s focus: Moving beyond tokenization, the conversation now centers on systemic innovation to build robust data systems and infrastructure. 4) Interoperability as a systemic challenge: True interoperability means aligning governance and methodologies, not just technical systems. 5) This episode is a call to rethink climate finance—not for short-term wins, but for long-term impact and inclusion. 📢 Tune in to Episode 12 now: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gbDP9wAY Apple: https://lnkd.in/gQQvaU4k YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gHCghu3e Thank you for being part of our journey through Season 4.
