A new joint venture, Delta Capita Environmental Markets (DCEM), has been launched to deliver blockchain-powered infrastructure that enables sovereign nations to implement and manage domestic environmental markets, and facilitate the global settlement of high-integrity Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs).
In the wake of productive discussions at the UN Climate Meetings (SB62) in Bonn this June, Delta Capita has formally launched DCEM as its dedicated Environmental Markets division. The initiative is designed to build and operate infrastructure supporting over 170 sovereign environmental markets, reinforcing equity and cohesion under the Paris Agreement framework.
DCEM represents a strategic alliance between three prominent partners:
-
Kana Earth, the UK’s foremost Natural Capital technology platform, which supports more than half of the nation’s active nature-based climate projects and collaborates with the top 10 Natural Capital asset managers;
-
Tashinga Partnership, an Environmental Venture Builder known for spearheading sovereign market operations across Africa and Southeast Asia, with a focus on decarbonising national economies, restoring ecosystems, and fostering inclusive growth;
-
Delta Capita, a global consulting and managed services firm for the financial services sector, serving over 100 Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions, and supported by approximately 1,200 professionals across 12 international offices.
“DCEM represents a new era of cooperation, bringing the rigour of capital markets, managing services, the urgency of climate action, and the sovereignty of national environmental goals into a single interoperable framework,” said Joe Channer, CEO of Delta Capita.
“Since the ratification of Article 6 at COP26, we have built not just a market, but a trust-based, transparent, digital ecosystem enabling sovereigns to lead the way in defining and delivering environmental value and economic success across their country, connected to the international markets.” remarked Justin Reynolds, CEO of DCEM
DCEM provides a platform for sovereigns, by practitioners, delivering end-to-end infrastructure for sell-side nations to establish their own domestic environmental markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. It underpins their decarbonisation, ecosystem regeneration, economic development and international trade by enabling nations to:
- Digitalis alexandra.leonards@perspectivepublishing.com e domestic sovereign environmental markets.
- Drive economic growth through high-integrity decarbonisation.
- Operationalise trusted, verified jurisdictional carbon and environmental asset markets.
- Attract climate finance into national green transitions.
- Trade and settle digitally on regional and international platforms
- Create trust, transparency and liquidity through live data sets
The DCEM infrastructure provides governments with domestic environmental asset registries, digital project management and MRV systems, trading and settlement mechanisms, and sovereign-scale projects and asset management technology, delivering impact and scale across Cap & Trade, carbon, biodiversity, water, plastic and all other domestic environmental market assets.
As a groundbreaking public–private partnership model, DCEM bridges the gap between sell-side sovereigns seeking climate-linked economic growth and private, institutional and buy-side sovereign capital seeking credible, high-quality environmental investments. Leveraging Kana Earth’s digital infrastructure, Tashinga’s government partnerships, and Delta Capita’s settlement and operational rigour, DCEM delivers:
- Scalable, digital issuance of sovereign-backed environmental units/credits.
- Transparent, live settlement, registry and methodology tracking infrastructure.
- Digital integration with global carbon and ESG markets.
Initial projects under DCEM will roll out across Sub-Saharan Africa & Southeast Asia, building on the strength of successful UK operations, working in alignment with NDC targets and national adaptation plans. DCEM operationalises:
- Registry: ETS, Natural Capital, waste-to-energy and Article 6
- Hub: Methodology and standard digitalisation, project management, verification and marketing
- Seed: Investment, asset management and sovereign wealth fund
- Settlement: Asset delivery, payment execution, verification and cross- border
