= 2 as yet not existing projects
Project 1
Related to the Global 4C Mitigation policy proposals. They write that the solar dollar:
- will be an official world currency, and will not be a carbon credit or a carbon offset;
- will create a price signal that aggregates with the price signals created in carbon markets; and
- will not be associated with carbon that is previously rewarded with carbon offsets.
"The Solar Dollar will be a vehicle for a worldwide social-and-environmental movement that can circumvent unproductive rhetoric of politics by launching without inter-governmental agreements. In a sense, we can use the Solar Dollar to lead a new monetary narrative, rather than following the same old political narratives. It is argued that a balance of Solar Dollar rewards, conventional carbon taxes, and fair regulations is necessary for society and businesses to experience a social transformation towards a sustainable economy. The Solar Dollar will provide the trigger for social transformation because it speaks a common language – value. The Solar Dollar will be issued directly to enterprises, firms, citizens, as a reward for greenhouse mitigation, assuming that the applicants can pass a reliable auditing and assessment process.

The Solar Dollar will be used to create a worldwide public database for sharing knowledge about all types of abatement and sequestration. This will lead to greater market efficiency and social inter-connectedness. The policy for the Solar Dollar is very clear – it will request a guarantee from all of the world’s major central banks to create a multi-decade bull market in the Solar Dollar currency.
