In this episode of Financial Markets iNSiGHTS, host Tina Kane is joined by Hirander Misra, Founder and CEO of ZERO13, an AI-enabled and blockchain-powered platform revolutionising carbon markets. Hirander shares insights into how traditional and decentralised technologies support greater innovation in, and alignment of, global capital markets and high integrity climate projects, the transformative potential of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, ratified (finally) at the 2024 COP29 meeting, and challenges and opportunities in accelerating and scaling climate finance solutions. They discuss how the combination of innovative technologies, industry collaboration, harmonisation of rules and standards and greater corporate governance will transform carbon markets and drive impactful change with respect to narrowing the climate financing gap, particularly with respect to projects in the Global South.
