Climate Week NYC is the largest global climate event of its kind, convening leaders from government, business, and academia to tackle the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. The E-ledgers Institute will be actively engaged in various events and conversations throughout the week. Stay tuned for more information.
Our co-founders, Professor Karthik Ramanna and Robert S. Kaplan, spoke at a workshop hosted by Resources for the Future (RFF) to explore the application of the E-ledgers framework in the power sector. The session focused on defining “causal logic” for electric power, specifically examining the distribution of embodied and operational E-liabilities across energy and reliability products. Attendees engaged in technical breakouts to address the challenges of chain-of-custody in grid-integrated markets and the allocation of infrastructure emissions, providing critical feedback to the E-ledgers framework in the power sector.

Our co-founder, Professor Karthik Ramanna, spoke at the World Bank’s Climate Change Learning Series on July 20, 2026. Karthik discussed the imperative to upgrade carbon accounting standards to ensure the market integrity and data precision necessary for credible climate finance. The conversation centered on the practical implementation of E-ledgers to support industrial decarbonization, addressing structural accounting gaps, and navigating the technical and political challenges of scaling high-integrity systems in World Bank client countries.

On the morning of June 24th during London Climate Action Week 2026, we convened an invite-only session bringing together senior stakeholders and champions from across the E-ledgers ecosystem.
The session provided an update on the progress of the E-ledgers Institute and featured the launch of two foundational publications: the A Proto-Standard for Carbon Removals Accounting and Auditing using the E-asset Method and A Reference Architecture for Implementing E-ledgers Carbon Accounting on the Finternet. Together, these documents advance the methodological and technological foundations for implementing E-ledgers at scale.
Participants discussed recent developments, shared perspectives on emerging applications, and explored opportunities for continued collaboration across research, policy, and industry.

In collaboration with the Hertie School, the E-ledgers Institute convened an invite-only strategy workshop in Berlin, bringing together experts from academia, policy, and industry to discuss the future of carbon accounting in Europe. The workshop centred on a forthcoming discussion paper exploring the international standard-setting ecosystem needed to enable robust, interoperable, and auditable cross-border carbon accounting.

Our co-founder, Professor Karthik Ramanna, presented to Australian Industry Greenhouse Network (AIGN) members on the role of ledger-based carbon accounting in strengthening Australia’s carbon market architecture. Drawing on insights from recent pilot studies, the session explored how auditable, interoperable carbon accounting can improve the reliability and comparability of emissions data, strengthen market confidence, and support Australia’s net zero transition.

Our co-founder, Professor Karthik Ramanna, spoke at a Hill briefing hosted by the Bipartisan Policy Center on June 11th, 2026. The briefing focused on how carbon accounting tools can help U.S. producers to receive recognition for their low-emissions performance and maintain their manufacturing competitiveness abroad.
Karthik was joined by Catrina Rorke (Climate Leadership Council) and Brett Smith (American Iron and Steel Institute) and the discussion was moderated by Mariam Al -Shamma (Bipartisan Policy Center).

For the second year, the E-ledgers Institute attended the Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum in Washington D.C. The 2026 Forum served as both a reflection on the evolution of the global energy landscape and a forward-looking platform to chart its future based on building systems, strengthening partnerships, and empowering the public.
As part of the Forum, our co-founder, Professor Ramanna, spoke at a private roundtable on how product-level carbon-intensity standards could serve as a foundation for US industrial competitiveness and trade strategy, and the steps needed to move from early-stage policy momentum toward implementation.

During Ecosperity Week 2026 in Singapore, the E-ledgers Institute and The Nature Conservancy co-hosted a closed-door, invite-only session with corporate leaders and policymakers. The session critically assessed the E-ledgers framework as a practical, resilient, and adoptable tool that could redefine how climate and nature performance is recorded and valued.
As part of the workshop, our co-founder, Professor Karthik Ramanna, was joined for a AMA panel discussion by Bob Litterman (creator of the Black-Litterman Global Asset Allocation Model), Romie Goedicke den Hertog (UNEP FI), and Anita Varshney (SAP Sustainability), moderated by Kristina Anguelova (The Nature Conservancy).
