| dc.description | This report examines how digital finance can engage citizens at scale in climate action by integrating environmental incentives into everyday financial behavior. It situates the analysis within global climate and sustainability commitments and identifies limitations of existing top-down green finance approaches. The document describes the design and early outcomes of a large-scale pilot that uses mobile payment data, behavioral measurement, and social interaction to encourage reduced carbon emissions, with rewards linked to verified environmental activities. It outlines participation levels, demographic patterns, and estimated environmental effects during the initial implementation period, while noting methodological constraints. The report also discusses institutional collaboration, governance arrangements, and proposed next steps to refine methods, expand platforms, and test transferability across contexts. | en |
