In episode 141, we’re excited to welcome Irthu Suresh, CEO and Co-Founder of Atlantis DAO, a borderless co-op powering climate resilience and bioregional regeneration. We discuss why Web3 is a powerful tool for global coordination, the role of blockchain in advancing planetary regeneration, how we can enhance impact monitoring, reporting, and verification with blockchain, and much more.
--Three Key Takeaways--
- When it comes to climate regeneration, there is no shortage of solutions. Where the problem lies is around coordination and incentivization. Web3 tools like DAOs and tokenization can help coordinate a global network of climate builders while incentivizing climate action. In the words of Irthu, “you can’t just solve climate change with science alone, we need the social aspect.”
- While many climate change projects are focused on the “Carbon tunnel vision”, Atlantis DAO started by focusing on water, recognizing that humanity experiences the impacts of climate change at the most fundamental level through water – whether it’s in the form of droughts or flooding. By focusing on water, it helps humanize the issue of climate change.
- The ultimate frontier for Web3 is rural and underserved communities in the global south who have traditionally lacked access to financial tools and are most at-risk of climate change. It is important to build solutions that are accessible to these communities, ensuring they work with available technology, do not require a lot of training, and are convenient and one-click easy.
- Bonus: When building for challenging solutions like climate change, it is important to make the building process fun, which AtlantisDAO is doing through their GreenPill Festival and Bountyverse.
