Great write-up optima and SolidWorld Team
I'm very much in favor of the proposal. Being the first to do this in the DCM provides a notable opportunity for us on a marketing and public relations front, which we should definitely capitalize on. Additionally, there is a clear strategic benefit here with respect to Carbonmark, and making these credits more accessible to buyers.
One initial question I have, most relevant for @TheLawyer, is whether we know any jurisdiction-specific legal challenges we'll face in trying to sell these credits on Carbonmark. Has PwC Estonia conducted a thorough examination of the major markets in the VCM, specifically the US, EU, Brazil, China, India and Australia? Are there any limitations that might prevent us from actually being able to sell these forward credits to certain buyers?
Second thought - Taking a step back (and this is perhaps a little unrelated to this specific KIP), but I wonder whether KlimaDAO might be well-served by having an experienced advisory group who can specifically support the DAO on its carbon procurement efforts. If we are planning to continue using treasury assets to grow the supply side of the marketplace, it would be good to have advice on what credits we should purchase, and how much we should pay. Perhaps we can better leverage folks like Alik Hinckson (from WRI), or hire someone who can provide this service?
Any thoughts on this @optima @Dionysus @0xy_Moron ?
Cheers
