UPCO2 is tokenised carbon credit which helps fight deforestation in the Amazon, Congo Basin and Indonesia Towards the start of the month, Elon Musk tweeted “Hodl the rainforests!!”, implying in crypto terminology that we need to sustain and protect the rainforests for the future. Well the Universal Protocol Alliance (UPA) have risen to meet that challenge by tokenising carbon. UPA is a coalition of leading blockchain companies which includes CertiK, Uphold, Bittrex Global, Ledger, Fifth Era, Trovio, Hard Yaka and SFOX. At the start of 2020, they launched the Universal Carbon token UPCO2, with one UPCO2 representing one year-ton of CO2 pollution avoided by a project which is certified as REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation).
