Episode 01: Forest Carbon, Tech, and Planetary Market Failure with Max Nova, COO & Co-Founder at NCX (formerly SilviaTerra)
Max Nova, COO and Co-founder at NCX
In this episode, we explore how technology is changing the way we measure, value, and drive natural climate solutions at scale. Max shares the story of SilviaTerra, discusses with us the importance of data in building functioning natural capital markets, and shares how NCX is using that data to build the Natural Capital Exchange, their forest carbon marketplace.
In this episode, we touch on:
Translating data to change on the landscape
Role of markets versus government in resource management
Key factors in evaluating forest carbon impact
The time-value of carbon
If Max had a magic wand, how would he scale-up natural climate solutions? Make sure governments get the rules right to actually change landowners’ behavior.
