On the Climate RecordHow to use web3 to pay for offsets without offsettingWhat happens when you combine Web3, environmental indices, and carbon markets? Perhaps a project that looks something like 6C-Index. This episode lays out the basic concept behind the idea, how it’s different from other ideas out there, and how it can potentially scale to drive financing for projects that can reduce and remove projects. We also cover ideas around what Christophe calls “System 1” and “System 2” and a special appearance from TiMo, Thomas Morgan.
A good index can be a mirror, and a great index can be a guide. By establishing a new asset that links to a basket o...
2022-05-1839 minOn the Climate RecordHow do we democratize water? w/Sarah PorterDecisions around water policy take place at the federal, state, and local realms and directly affect how water is allocated for downstream users. Yet, designing policies that meet the needs human and natural systems can be very complex. To discuss these complexities, On the Climate Record takes to Twitter Spaces where Sarah Porter, director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University, Blake Atkerson, an environmental and legal consultant and a new addition to the Carbon A List team, Dr. Nick Goeser and Christophe Jospe weigh the realities of current water policy and the opportunities for...
2022-03-2936 minOn the Climate RecordHow to reframe energy systems with your imagination w/ Dr. Clark MillerClimate change solutions challenge the status quo by compelling innovation to go beyond tradition. It challenges current narratives about systems and how they are used to develop alternatives that are less harmful to the planet and its residents. In this episode, Christophe Jospe sits down with Dr. Clark Miller, an Associate Director and Professor at Arizona State University, to discuss the current dependence on carbon-intensive energy systems and the critical shift necessary to transform how we think and use current energy systems.
Dr. Miller explains that we can creatively transform carbon-intensive energy systems by rethinking traditional views...
2022-03-1646 minOn the Climate RecordWhat comes after the Green Revolution? w/Dr. Rimjhim AggarwalIn the late 1960s, India endured a great famine that made the country heavily dependent on foreign food aid. Shortly after, the Green Revolution granted India independence from aid by strengthening its food production capabilities. However, the Green Revolution’s benefits were soon outweighed by a combination of consequences. In this episode, Dr. Aggarwal, an Associate Professor at ASU’s School of Sustainability and podcast visitor, examines the environmental and socio-economic outcomes that stemmed from the Revolution and other
agriculture-related topics through multiple lenses.
Using the Green Revolution as a cautionary tale, Dr. Aggarwal explains that...
2022-03-0949 minOn the Climate RecordWe Are What We Eat: linking food, health, and the environment w/ Dr. Christopher WhartonFood waste around the world creates financial, environmental, and social issues. The USDA estimates that over one-third of food produced worldwide goes to waste a year in the United States. Unfortunately, this creates an economic loss of over 160 billion dollars and a caloric loss of over 100 trillion calories a year. And when the environmental impacts are factored in, food waste is the third-largest contributor to methane gas emissions.
In this episode, Christophe Jospe invites Dr. Chirstopher Wharton, associate professor of nutrition at Arizona State University to discuss the links between food waste and climate change. As they d...
2022-02-2440 minOn the Climate RecordHow to upend supply chains to be more regenerative with blockchain and AI w/ Todd TaylorBlockchain and AI (artificial intelligence) technology are promising innovations that have already transformed the ways that we interact, transact, and analyze information. And both technologies are still in their infancy. In this episode of On the Climate Record, Todd Taylor, a lecturer from Arizona State University, stops by to discuss his previous work as a supply consultant and ASU’s current research to advance the uses of blockchain and AI to track and trace carbon-emitting and sequestering practices.
In Taylor’s line of work, he’s observed several data challenges that prevent a corporate’s ability to collect...
2022-02-0957 minOn the Climate RecordPutting innovation into context w/ Dr. Netra ChhetriThe Green Revolution transformed agricultural systems by introducing modern innovations that drastically modernized food production. This inclusion of science and technology made it possible to produce higher-yielding and more resilient grains worldwide. In this episode, Christophe Jospe, from Carbon A List, and featured guest Dr. Netri Chhetri, associate professor at Arizona State University, review the Green Revolution’s impacts and characterize the best approaches for solving climate change.
When Dr. Netra Chhetri worked in India to promote Green Revolution farming practices, he saw first-hand how the transformation of food production methods created challenges for Indian farmers. In hi...
2022-02-0242 minOn the Climate RecordIt’s about literally everything but the Carbon w/ Dr. Nicholas GoeserClimate-smart agriculture continues to gain traction as an effort to mitigate climate change. Carbon markets add value to these beneficial practices by extending financial opportunities to farmers to encourage associated benefits that increase soil, air, and water quality, but often miss the point. In this inaugural episode, Carbon A List’s President, Christophe Jospe, and host to the podcast, discusses with fellow business partner Nicholas Goeser Ph.D., cover the gamut on what creates value on a farm to drive changes in ecosystem services.
In this episode, Dr. Nicholas Goeser describes his long-standing educational background in agronomy an...

Zengineering: A Philosophy of Science, Technology, Art & Engineering064 - with Christophe Jospe of Nori - On Climate Change - Part 4 - Reversing ItHowdy Zengineers,
We're joined this week by fellow tech entrepreneur and climate change advocate, Christophe Jospe from Nori - https://www.nori.com. What's Nori you might ask? Well, sometimes it's edible seaweed that comes in handy flat packs for snacking, but in this case, it's a Blockchain company working to reverse climate change through innovative means of measurement, verification, and tracking. Christophe is also a host on Nori's podcast called "Reversing Climate Change," which is one of Brian's favorite podcasts - https://nori.com/podcast.
