Digital Revolution vs Global Warming: How Open Networks will Power Climate Solutions with Pramod Varma and Carlos Montes
Open transaction networks are systems that ensure interoperability across various platforms and services. They enable seamless discovery, information exchange, and end-to-end transactions, regardless of the specific apps or services being used. In essence, they replace closed, proprietary platforms with an ecosystem where competition, innovation, and collaboration can thrive. Pramod Varma will explore how these new technologies can support network approach solutions to the multi-faceted problems of climate change, dramatically reducing the cost of coordination.
