Webinar discusses carbon credit tokenization: Regulatory and tax aspects in the ESG world

The Nucleus for Tax Law, part of the Professional Master’s Program at Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Sao Paulo Law School, is holding a webinar called “Carbon Credit Tokenization: Regulatory and Tax Aspects in the ESG World.” This public event will take place on November 24, at 10 a.m., on FGV’s YouTube channel.

In a global context where sustainability and ESG practices are becoming paramount, instruments such as carbon credits are emerging as a vital tool in the fight against climate change. This event will discuss the interface between tokenization (via distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain) and carbon credits, elucidating the regulatory and tax challenges involved, as well as the opportunities of this new paradigm.

The topic is also connected to the Digital Real (DREX), a digital currency planned by the Brazilian Central Bank – an innovation that may influence and be influenced by the tokenization of carbon credits. The aim of the webinar is to explore how emerging technologies such as blockchain and DREX may converge to strengthen transparency, security and efficiency in the sale and management of carbon credits.
