Enjoy this fun conversation between Gregory Landua and Frank Van Gansbeke. In Frank’s second appearance on the podcast, they discuss the details of Frank’s bold proposal for a new IMF backed global carbon reward currency, recently published in Forbes. Similar to Dr. Delton Chen’s proposal, with some differing elements.

Emerging carbon pricing schemes and other fun eco-monetary policy stuff also discussed in this week’s episode.

Note:

Swiss re has a 100 per Ton carbon internal risk price

Bank of England just put a price at 100

The Global Carbon Reward: Complementary Currency, Strategic Quantitative Easing, Thermodynamics and Evolving Economics to Account for Biosphere Health.

We talk with Dr. Delton Chen for the second time to go a layer deeper into his work pioneering a plan for a global carbon reward currency denominated in tons of greenhouse gas mitigation and/or sequestration. Dr. Chen’s work was recently featured as a pillar of the strategy in Kim Stanley Robinson’s new book, "Ministry for the Future", receiving high praise from the award-winning and best-selling hard sci-fi author.

This episode features an overview of these concepts and questions:

• Global Carbon Reward through the lenses of economics, science, and politics.

• What should and should not be considered part of a carbon reward (not extracting carbon for instance)?

• Strategic pathways to adoption (new partnerships, international NGO, demonstration projects)

• The relationship between these concepts, Regen Network and other notable projects' approach (Digital Earth, blockchains, decentralisation, satellite data, etc.)
