We led a Market Design Project to explore the central economic questions of supply and demand: what is measurable, quantifiable and could be traded in a form that internalises environmental and social externalities.<\/p>\n<p>It was fascinating to re-explore this question from scratch again. We brought together some brilliant minds from the Dgen\u00a0Constellation including Bryony Worthington, Ben Cotton, John Elkington and others to unlearn, re-learn and build upon diverse market-based solutions: from\u00a0supranational cap &amp; trade carbon markets\u00a0to\u00a0regional air-quality markets to green bonds. Our summary was that there are new opportunities\u00a0to bring together policy, industry and data to better measure, report and design systems that internalise externalities\u2014and price them. We reflected that there is a lot of &#8216;wheel-reinvention&#8217; going on today (e.g. blockchain-led ideas)\u00a0that are not\u00a0informed by\u00a0decades of prior-art.
