In this Office Hours, the Klima DAO team including Drew and Cujo discusses the overview and expectations for KlimaDAO.
Read our notes below to learn more.
Expectations on Launching
Kicking off a webinar series on February the seventh to allow people who are interested in the digital carbon market and the infrastructure that we're building.
Constantly producing content and doing marketing to let people know what it is that we're building.
Felt a webinar series is a way to maybe get a bit more into that and also interface directly.
At the end of last year, released intro to the Digital Carbon Market Report.
Have stakeholders from all corners of the club and market industry registries.
Academic Articles Come out
An interesting read to kind of see how we're being perceived by the outside world.
Those articles follow on from the coverage in the autumn time to the UNDP actually wrote their piece on Web3 and Klima.
It's interesting to see that whilst in the middle of last year when the market was quite hot, Klima was getting quite a lot of media coverage.

Latest forum post
Proposes to introduce retirement bonds set by KPFA 1.
The idea is to enable users to present Klima to the Treasury and to acquire on-chain carbon.
So it basically gives them the ability to get carbon not just from the liquidity pool but directly from the Treasury, which is quite interesting.
If you're doing large acquisitions through the liquidity pool, there can be slippage and it's a bit of a process. So interesting there from a strategic kind of sales position.
Timeline
This will either be whitelisted by the community or not within the next couple of weeks.
And then in terms of actual implementation, can't comment because I'm not on the engineering team but wouldn't think it would take too long.
Conversation with a former scientist at the Nature Conservancy.
Drew
She's kind of diving into the Web3 world a little bit.
She's quite interested in what's going on with DAOs.
She's really interested in how DAO is functioning.
And we will be having this decentralization working group report that's going to be released in the coming weeks.
She's starting to learn about the role that blockchain can play in climate markets.
Project Financing Side
Drew
We are in the final stages of essentially understanding the contracting portion of that and what that would look like.
And there are other opportunities quite similar to our CBs that we've been approached by and that we're investigating.
You have a collective and a DAO that's able to view different opportunities and have an impact and basically spur the development of these projects from the very beginning, directly invest in them and then be able to use the credit issuance that comes from that to bootstrap new types of pools that exist on the blockchain to facilitate the trading of these assets.
These are often things like social impact or increased economic opportunities for communities that are involved with the project and so on.
This year it's about adoption and it's about making these things very easy to use so that a lot of different players in the market can start to migrate on the chain and ultimately have a more efficient, effective, and easy carbon market experience.
Phaedrus
So 2022 is proof of concept. 2023 is utility and adoption.
The upcoming launch of Solid Wealth
From our side we're primarily interested in scaling the digital carbon market, getting more eyes on it, and more adoption on it.
Solid growth will be positive for the DAOs.
Solid World DAO has a very institutional and corporate focus, these are the players that are principally involved in carbon project financing at this time.
Carbon Market Update
25M of carbon available on the chain
There’s a decent amount of diversity between different technology types that people can support.
Mathematically calculating the carbon footprint of different types of investment portfolios.
AR Klima Update
Contracts have been developed.
AR Klima could be pointed to utilized retirement bonds.
