For this to be a reality the entire infrastructure network catering to our CORE needs will have to completely transition to being emission free.\n\nFor this to happen, multiple research papers have narrowed down on a capital requirement of  $ 4-6  Trillion/ yr for the next 30 yrs. We are currently only able to mobilise less than 25% of this and hence over 95% of the countries are no where close to meeting their Paris agreement goals.\n\nOur aim with $EARTH is to leverage the power of crypto economics and blockchain to incentivize, mobilize and funnel primary finance into real world projects that are building the net zero future.\n\nFor this we focus on funding the net zero transition in 5 sectors that are responsible for more than 80% of GHGs while also catering to humanities core needs -\n\n1. Fossil Fuel to Clean Energy\n2. Industrial agriculture to Regenerative Agriculture\n3. ICE engines to EV/Hydrogen\n4. Heavy emission construction to Eco-Villages\n5. Ecosystem degradation to conservation.\n\nIt is our thesis that if we are able to provide patient, aligned capital to projects building infrastructure for a net zero future we can turn the biggest existential crisis of our times into the biggest opportunity ever available.\n\nFor more on our thesis do go through - https://solarpunkdao.earth/thesis", "hidden": false, "question": "Please explain how your project is a part of the solution to the Climate crisis.", "questionId": 8}, {"type": "link", "answer": "https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/earth/grants?tab=milestones-and-updates&grantId=0xa65ac0086d5169bf1cd21f7c2a88bd635672c057b0282a28431f1eb602bb2b5d", "hidden": false, "question": "Please provide a link to your GG20 Karma GAP link.
