Global greenhouse gas emissions need to reach net-zero around mid-century limit global warming 1.5 °C. This decarbonization challenge has, inter alia, increased the political and societal pressure on companies disclose their carbon footprints. As a response, numerous announced roadmaps become neutral or even negative. The first step journey towards neutrality, however, is quantify corporate accurately.

The carbon footprint of Bitcoin has drawn wide attention, though Bitcoin's long-term impact on the climate remains uncertain.In this paper, we present a framework that leverages some fundamental concepts in energy economics and finance to overcome uncertainties previous estimates project worldwide electricity consumption long-term.If future market capitalization growth rate is assumed fall within range historical rates several comparable mainstream financial assets, find annual may increase...
The energy consumption and related carbon emissions of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are subject to extensive discussion in public, academia, industry. As continue their journey into mainstream finance, incentives participate the networks consume do so remain significant. First guidance on how allocate footprint network single investors exist, however a holistic framework capturing wider range tokens remains absent. This white paper explores different approaches caused by tokens. Based...
While financial investors are increasingly alert to the economic threats of climate change, most academic and regulatory assessments risk have not accounted for tipping points. Here, we combine recent advances in integrated assessment modeling points with return projections major stock indices assess index-specific exposures change damages. We find that MSCI World, a globally diversified index, increase expected loss due damages under SSP2-4.5 by 62% (USD 0.2 trillion)—a magnitude...
This document is written as an academic exercise, with the goal of exploring feasibility writing a white paper in accordance Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA). It meant Proof Concept (PoC) illustrating concrete application requirements MiCA. Like MiCA papers PoC shared by ESMA, this solely for purposes PoC, to inform public how crypto-asset could work, inspire debate and feedback, enhance conversation around implementation EU regulations.
