KLIMA INFINITY: TO CARBON NEUTRAL AND BEYOND

Published Thu Feb 17 2022


KLIMA INFINITY: TO CARBON NEUTRAL AND BEYOND



KlimaDAO has launched Klima Infinity to enable organizations and individuals to
compound their positive environmental impact, and to offset their carbon
emissions continuously and transparently. Klima Infinity aims to accelerate
momentum toward – and beyond – a carbon-neutral world.



Klima Infinity is a phased roll out of tools enabling corporations and
individuals to source, retire, and hold custody over carbon credits natively on
the blockchain, transparently and efficiently, and showcase their positive
climate impact. By using Klima Infinity’s Climate Positive approach, users gain
an ownership stake of the KlimaDAO Treasury, which consists of a basket of
tokenized carbon offsets currently amounting to over 16 million tons of CO2e.



Powered by the KlimaDAO protocol, users staking KLIMA tokens earn yield on a
growing treasury of tokenized carbon offsets. Organizations and individuals can
go beyond carbon neutral: not only can they offset their current and historic
carbon emissions, they can own a piece of the Web3 carbon economy and help
catalyze finance into high-impact sustainability projects globally.



This approach means that a single upfront investment today can enable Klima
Infinity users to execute on their carbon commitments now and far into the
future.



Together with our launch partners, we are excited to share our vision and
roadmap for what we believe will lead to a sea-change in the global fight
against climate change.


THE KLIMA INFINITY VISION



KlimaDAO’s vision is to:



Create a future where the cost of carbon to the climate is embedded into our
economic system, through the creation and governance of a carbon-backed currency
that aligns incentives between investors, civil society, and organizations.



This vision is reflected in Klima Infinity, which aims to help realize this
future by providing the simplest, most efficient way for actors to be active
participants in the emerging Regenerative Finance (ReFi) economy.



Climate change is the number one issue facing the world, and tackling it
requires a vibrant global Voluntary Carbon Market. The global carbon market is
ideally suited to grow on Polygon's robust yet low energy usage blockchain.
Permissionless and immutable transactions paired with KlimaDAO's deep pools of
liquidity enable the trading of carbon offsets. Through Klima Infinity, we are
enabling coordination and action across borders, and across societies, in order
to accelerate the delivery of climate finance.



While we recognize that shifting the trajectory of climate change will require
systemic change across all aspects of society, we believe Klima Infinity holds
massive potential in accelerating the development of a transparent and efficient
climate finance market – dramatically increasing access and ultimately the
positive impact that these carbon project solutions have on the planet.



Klima Infinity aims to enable organizations and individuals to:



 * Become carbon neutral: via a simple interface and experience to offset their
   carbon footprint;
 * Become climate positive: by acting as a perpetual carbon offset accumulator,
   enabling them to go beyond carbon neutrality;
 * Signal their positive actions to the rest of the world: by providing a public
   dashboard, and using immutable blockchain-based proofs to create transparency
   around climate-positive actions; and
 * Participate in KlimaDAO’s growth and governance: all holders of KLIMA can
   participate in KlimaDAO’s governance processes and be an active stakeholder
   in the ReFi economy.



As more users onboard with Klima Infinity, the KlimaDAO ecosystem will grow in
utility and in visibility, giving more value to tokenized carbon credits and
more deeply integrating the cost of carbon within the global economy.



In this way, we envision Klima Infinity as the hinge that opens the floodgates
to the on-chain Voluntary Carbon Market. Modeling by the Taskforce on Scaling
Voluntary Carbon Market suggests that a 15-fold scale-up of voluntary carbon
offsetting in 2030 versus 2019 is required to deliver the 1.5°C Net Zero pathway
– in other words, we need a vibrant Voluntary Carbon Market, lest we risk the
escalation of CO2 emissions beyond an irreversible tipping point.



We have launched Klima Infinity with this urgent need in mind.




KLIMA INFINITY LAUNCH



Klima Infinity is an opt-in incentive program and suite of tools to help
organizations become progressively climate positive by leveraging Web3 tokenized
carbon assets and offsetting.



Klima Infinity users following the Climate Positive approach gain a number of
benefits through the staking of KLIMA:



 * A potential hedge against future offset price increases.



 * Granting the right to participate in KlimaDAO governance, including decision
   making around treasury asset composition and partnership initiatives.



 * KlimaDAO aligns itself with the Taskforce for Scaling Voluntary Carbon
   Markets and is working to catalyze a robust and efficient on-chain carbon
   market.



 * Holding Klima helps accelerate the delivery of finance to sustainability
   projects globally by driving demand and adoption.



 * Portfolio diversification with an asset linked to carbon markets, which
   historically have a low correlation to other asset classes.



 * The Web3 carbon market is set to benefit from the tightening of carbon
   emissions regulations worldwide.



At launch, Klima Infinity will represent KlimaDAO’s first product targeted to
help organizations easily source, custody, and retire carbon assets as part of
their Climate Positive pledge. Klima Infinity will provide the tools and
resources that organizations need to make a pledge, calculate a carbon
footprint, and securely manage tokenized carbon toward that pledge.



The next addition to Klima Infinity will be the Climate Pledge Dashboard, which
will provide a home for an organization’s Climate Positive pledge. The dashboard
will contain all of the important details of an organization's pledge versus its
total carbon assets over time.



We expect the dashboard features to grow to include connected carbon
calculators, multi-asset retirement, modeling, and an onboarding wizard to make
it even easier for organizations of all sizes to become climate positive.

OUR PARTNERS

We are privileged to be working with some of the world’s most progressive
organizations in launching Klima Infinity. These are all forward-looking
organizations that chose to use Klima Infinity for their Climate Positive pledge
and we’re encouraged by their leadership within their respective fields.


Our vision is to align incentives between investors, civil society, and
organizations – across borders and divides. Together, by leveraging Web3 we’ll
build a better, more open, and truly transparent carbon market that will allow
any organization, person, or entity to offset its carbon footprint.



Among our launch partners, we count Digital Charity Art, Dovu.earth, ETC Group,
Offsetra, and Thought for Food.



Digital Charity Art:



For us, backing our NFTs with Klima enhances our NFT value proposition and
provides us with an amazing platform to reach out to a large philanthropically
minded audience.



Dovu.earth:



We’re involved with Klima Infinity because we believe that collaboration between
ReFi DAOs and projects is essential – and our two missions are in sync. The
voluntary carbon offset market cannot be viewed through a ‘winner takes all’
lens; climate change is not going to be overcome using a dated capitalist
mentality.



ETC Group:



ETC Group are excited to be part of the KlimaDAO revolution. Moving carbon
credits on-chain makes perfect sense for the market and for a company like ours
who focus on digital assets.



Offsetra:


We believe the future Voluntary Carbon Market will run on DeFi infrastructure
and see Klima as the critical force driving this development forward. There are
tremendous gains to be made in market access and efficiency as this space
matures and we want to be a part of it.



Thought for Food:



We are excited to partner with Klima Infinity so that we can together explore
the opportunities and applications of Regenerative Finance to transform the food
and agricultural sector - a sector that is responsible for 1/3 of all GHG
emissions.



In addition, we’re also excited to share that our Klima Infinity flagship
partner will be announcing their pledge on February 23rd. We will be revealing
their identity in the press next week, so watch this space!





JOIN KLIMA INFINITY TODAY



We believe Klima Infinity holds massive potential in accelerating the
development of a transparent and efficient climate finance market. Further, an
efficient Voluntary Carbon Market is a key tool in the global journey toward –
and beyond – carbon neutrality.



We are actively looking to engage organizations that share our vision, and who
want to play a vital part in mitigating the risk of climate change.
