Road to Zero: Addressing Sustainability in Finance

Description:

Money makes the world go round—and destroys it in the process. The energy consumed to produce most currencies today, from physical money to digital assets, contributes heavily to pollution, deforestation and a large carbon footprint. In response to these environmental consequences, global leaders across industries are committing to reduce their carbon footprints to reach carbon net-zero by 2050. Join speakers from Ripple, ConsenSys, Energy Web Foundation, and Rocky Mountain Institute, to discuss the economic and environmental implications of the existing financial system, and how fintech can play a critical role in making a carbon-neutral future for global finance a reality as broad adoption of digital payments, like cryptocurrencies and blockchain, takes hold.
