This edited volume brings together international experts to address one of today's most urgent challenges: how blockchain technology can support climate action and improve the transparency and integrity of voluntary carbon markets (VCM).
By analyzing the tokenization of Voluntary Carbon Credits (VCCs), this book provides a holistic view of the economic, legal, and technical issues at play. It explores how blockchain's unique attributes - immutability, security, and digital accessibility - can help build trust in the respective data and carbon offset claims across global supply chains.
From international carbon regulation to real-world pilot projects and digital asset standards, this book speaks to a rapidly evolving landscape. With insights from leading scholars and cutting-edge research, it offers valuable guidance for academics, policymakers, legal professionals, fintech innovators, and sustainability leaders alike.
