The NetCarbonOffset Consortium Launched at the Climate Conference in Copenhagen Under the Leadership of WISekey and United Nations Association-Brazil (UNA-Brazil)

GENEVA, December 8 - A private-public sector partnership led by the United Nations
Association-Brazil (UNA-Brazil), the International Organization for Secure
Electronic Transactions, the Sustainable Development Forum and WISeKey, the
digital identity management solutions company, today announce the launch of
the The NetCarbonOffset Consortium, a pledge for the use of digitally
authenticated ID software for citizens around the world to signal their
support for clean energy policies through the Internet.

"Such a proposal is essentially geared towards using the Internet and
digital identification for greater popular support around commitments to
offset carbon footprints," said Carlos Moreira, WISeKey's founder and CEO.
"The final objective of this Brazilian project is in line with our work on
progressive climate change policy to support greenhouse gas reduction to save
the planet."

As United Nations delegates, activists, and government negotiators from
around the world meet in Copenhagen today to attempt to hammer greater
commitments of resources from developed countries in the fight against bad
energy use policies, this new Brazilian-Swiss private-public sector
partnership promises to bring in popular support to help improve the fate of
regions seriously threatened by the forces of climate change, like the
Amazon.

"The project signals a new leadership model to tackle global climate
change that may be worth replicating in other communities around the world,"
said Mario Ganero, President of the United Nations Association-Brazil
(UNA-Brazil).
