KlimaDAO Japan
KlimaDAO JAPAN is a start-up grant funded by the Klima Foundation that is active within the Japanese market and works with the J-Credit standard.
Its mission is to further the Klima Foundation’s mission within Japan by working to commercialize key parts of the ecosystem’s stack by forging partnerships with local businesses, institutions and governmental agencies.
In April 2024, KlimaDAO JAPAN launched a pilot for a carbon credit marketplace compatible with the Japanese government’s J-Credit system. Built on the public Polygon blockchain, this marketplace enables companies, municipalities, and individuals to effectively address climate change via tokenized carbon credits.
Additionally, KlimaDAO JAPAN is developing the “KlimaDAO JAPAN Market,” a digital platform that allows users to trade carbon credits on the blockchain easily. This marketplace will handle both J-Credits and other credits from the voluntary market, including those from overseas, allowing participants to easily buy, sell, hold, and retire tokenized carbon credits.
Through these initiatives, KlimaDAO JAPAN aims to support climate change measures by developing services and systems tailored to Japanese customers, leveraging innovative technologies to create a more open and efficient carbon market.
