Green new era dawns for crypto with global mining shift
Climate change is the issue of our time. From policymakers to the individual, every one of us has a responsibility to do our part to ensure that sustainability and green practices are implemented throughout society. Indeed, governments across the world, from the U.S. to China, are increasingly taking a proactive stance on climate change, with COP26, the recent 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, serving as a driving impetus toward the goals of the Paris Agreement in inspiring climate action. Corporations are also stepping forward to take greater responsibility, with many investors no longer considering financial performance alone a sufficient measure of success — ESG measures, i.e., negative externalities, are increasingly taken into account to determine the true value of business activity for society.
