Liabilities

Assets

Imagine a world where every emission is considered a liability.

With each passing year, as we delay decarbonization, these liabilities accumulate, potentially increasing our cost of capital and influencing our financial attractiveness. This scenario isn't just a thought experiment—it's the visionary approach we advocate through the Climate Liabilities and Assets Forum.

Our current environmental markets are often mired in complexity and opacity. To cut through this fog, a transformative ledger-based system is gaining ground, which treats emissions as liabilities

and climate actions, including carbon credits and nature, as assets.

This approach not only simplifies the tracking of our carbon footprint but also mandates a robust and transparent framework for managing carbon emissions and inspiring decisive action.

Unifying Diverse Perspectives

The Climate Liabilities and Assets Forum is dedicated to merging diverse insights from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies. Our aim is to forge a consensus on this innovative approach and lay down foundational guidelines for how this ledger system can be operationalized effectively.

Promising a Future Free of Contradictions

This approach promises to eliminate the contradictions hindering our environmental efforts. By defining emissions as liabilities and proactive climate actions as assets, we pave the way for honest dealings with value fluctuations and precise accounting of real-world impacts. This system doesn't just track our failures and successes; it incentivizes progress and penalizes stagnation, pushing industries towards more sustainable practices faster than ever before.

Join us at the Climate Liabilities and Assets Forum, where we turn visionary concepts into actionable realities, setting the course for a sustainable and financially sound future.
