Greetings to you, reader of the blog Carbonadvisor.org!
I would like to share some words about my journey to climate regulation and carbon markets.
In 2019, I founded an environmental non-profit organization called “Zakonnik” in Moldova. Our main focus was on improving legislation, protecting nature, and environmental education. However, I realized that environmental protection initiatives often lose out to political or economic interests. The only way for green initiatives to succeed is to be profitable at the same time.
So, I switched to the closely related field of climate regulation and carbon markets. I started sharing the findings of my research on my blog, Carbonadvisor.org. Initially, the blog was written in Russian, and climate project initiators from Russian-speaking countries began to contact me for consultations.
Through this experience, I gained extensive knowledge about:
- International carbon market systems (Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement)
- Independent carbon standards programs (Verra, Gold Standard)
- Compliance schemes
- Creation of national climate regulation systems
- Carbon credit tokenization
- Assessment of the investment attractiveness of a climate project and the carbon offsets it produces
- Financing of carbon projects
At the same time, I actively participated in DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) that invested in climate projects around the world. This allowed me to validate and deepen the knowledge I had gained from my blog and consulting work.
I am now continuing to write on my blog in English, participating in DAOs, and acting as an independent expert.
Carbonadvisor.org will be beneficial for:
- Climate project initiators
- Investors
- Buyers of carbon offsets
- Experts who want to get the latest voluntary carbon market news
Why I run the Carbonadvisor.org website:
- It helps me systematize the information.
- I have a desire to share the information with the community.
- the blog provides an opportunity for me to find potential partners in ReFi and the climate project spheres.
