Ethereum Climate Platform launches to address the network’s prior PoW emissions By Cointelegraph

Months after the Merge, when the network shifted to the more eco-friendly proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, the Ethereum community is now shifting its focus to redress the network’s former proof-of-work (PoW) carbon emissions.

At the COP 27 climate action event, Web3 firms, civil society leaders and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change announced the formation of the Ethereum Climate Platform, which aims to counteract the carbon footprint left by the Ethereum network since it launched in 2015.
