Hello ReFi frens, Nura here with the latest ReFi Roundup. I am working on sustainability tech solutions during the day, and a Climate x Web3 writer @EnjoytheWeather at night. Let's find out what's gold in the ReFi world this week!
COP27 is happening this week in Egypt. Climate change is a global coordination problem and COP can be a place to explore systems of coordination and build bridges. It's also the first time ReFi is making it's presence known as part of the solution. Let's dive in to the thinking behind this, what is going down, and which countries are leading the way...
@_newcubes recently wrote an amazing article for Regen Foundation "Community Stake in the New Regenerative Economy → Towards COP27".
The Regenerative Revolution will be Community Owned and Governed
Without being structural shift in resource flow to regenerators, the long term benefits of carbon markets and climate finance is hurting more than helping.Thanks to @ThoughtFloats for sharing this article!
It explores Article 6 of the Paris agreement which governs the rule of international carbon markets and was signed in COP26 last year. But what's holding it back? and what is the way forward? 👇
🔬 Integrity of science and data. It's hard to validate data behind claims of regeneration. Lack of transparency and accountability in the assurance process.
🗣️ Political process: Decisions are made behind closed doors. Local communities are not involved in deciding the future of their own ecosystem
👁️ Freed from carbon tunnel vision. Adopt other metrics such as biodiversity, soil health, and social dimension.
🔍 Decentralized creation, approval, and issuance of eco credits. The process must be viable for smallholder farmers.
🤝 Co-created with communities. Communities must have a say in creating the regenerative system and be involved in the governance.
The Conclusion? --> Traditional climate finance is broken. Web3 has the potential to fundamentally transform the accountability, ownership models, and governance of environmental assets.
So who from ReFi is out there making the case on the ground ? Here are some of the cool things that were happening this week.
HBAR Foundation hosted a ReFi side event. Bringing leading projects such as Filecoin Green and Flowcarbon closer to the policymakers

We are only at the 1st week of COP and already so many things are happening. To keep up to date with ReFI at COP27, follow the list from @RKollegala.
With the case for blockchain and Web3 for climate becoming clearer, what countries and jurisdictions are leading the way in implementation?
🇪🇬 Egypt: As the host of this year's COP, Egypt is paving the way for climate innovation. UNDP lab in Egypt is working with SEKEM and Zero Fund to drive the Egypt 2030 vision powered by blockchain infrastructure.
🇮🇩 Indonesia: The Indonesian stock exchange (IDX) is working with a Singaporean startup called MVGX to create a carbon registry and exchange on top of Ethereum.
🇪🇺 EU: Blockchain-based ClimateTrade admitted to European (EEX) mandatory carbon market.
Regardless of latitude or longitude, we need all need to come together, put aside our differences, and work fast on saving the planet and building a better future. Lets make it happen! 🙏
If Atlantis were a DAO instead of a mythical civilization, it might have been an open platform to regenerate the ocean. That is precisely what New Atlantis DAO is building.
On this week’s episode of the ReFi Podcast, hosts johnx25bd and jE talk about metagenomics for environmental biodiversity with Courtney and Gordon from New Atlantis DAO. They want to provide Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) a viable business model by launching a data analytics platform to generate blue carbon and biodiversity credits.
Check the pod on youtube or any podcast app of your choice. And read the written summary deep dive here!

Just a year after ReFi was born, various projects are popping up and investments are pouring into the space. Peter Olivier from Undocarbon, recently shared his thought on which projects to support if he were to manage a climate fund.
who did I forget?
also, companies that are worthy but a bit too big or late for my pretend checks, and one can never be too cautious with pretend money: @regen_network, @weareflowcarbon, @ToucanProtocol, @filecoingreen, @gitcoin— Peter Olivier (@PeterOlivier) November 3, 2022
Our friends at Shamba have integrated with Chainlink to provide data streams that enable parametric insurance for smallholder farmers.

Each indigenous community is unique, but all of them are facing the same problem. Their way of life is facing a multitude of intertwined challenges. Learn about the stories of 6 indigenous women leading the movement to fight climate injustice.
Indigenous women live on the front lines of climate change. They are also leaders in the climate movement.
This is why we're joining @landrightsnow's campaign #SheShouldMaketheNews, to tell the stories of indigenous women advancing #climatejustice.#COP27 pic.twitter.com/i8mrj57MrG— Food Nature Climate (@FNCDialogue) November 9, 2022
We know that it's a tough time for the crypto ecosystem right now. But ReFi is not just about being regenerative but also resilient. We are still very early. Bad days, weeks, and months are nothing if we are working on long term goals such as the 2050 Paris agreement.
Here are some tweets to keep us optimistic to build a better world with cryptoeconomics.
Regardless of the market, Rene Reinsberg of Celo is lasered focused on his mission.
Just want to take a moment to acknowledge everything that's happening in the industry and reiterate our commitment to the Celo mission. https://t.co/EIDCzqDhhN
