DESCRIPTION:Carbon credits are one potential tool for climate change mitig
 ation. For various reasons\, proof of stake (i.e. energy efficient) blockc
 hains are a natural technological choice for trading carbon credits and of
 fsetting emissions. In this talk\, we will discuss tokenized carbon credit
 s\, or carbon credits which are distributed\, traded\, and retired on the 
 blockchain. We will discuss challenges to their efficacy as a tool for mit
 igating climate change.\n\nDerek is a member of EEG and has recently submi
 tted his PhD. His work focuses on smart contracts or blockchain-based prog
 rams. He studies their difficult-to-specify properties with the aim of dev
 eloping high-assurance financial smart contracts.
