S2 E6: How Crypto can Help Combat Climate Change (Raphaël Haupt)

  • Summary

  • On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking with Raphaël Haupt, Founder and CEO of Toucan.

    We begin the episode laying some groundwork and defining the term “ReFi” or regenerative finance. As Raphaël explains, ReFi is taking DeFi technology and using it for regenerative, real world, positive externalities, like combating climate change. 

    We dive into climate change - an issue Raphaël has dedicated his life to - and we discuss carbon footprints, carbon tokens, and the carbon offsetting market. Raphaël explains some of the main issues with the current carbon offsetting market and how Toucan is using blockchain technology to combat those issues.

    We dive into the ins and outs of how Toucan operates, and we discuss the importance of using web3 technology with intentions for greater good and positive change. Raphaël looks to the future and shares his hopes for Toucan in the next 5-10 years.
