I think something like that would have to be manually audited by humans (i.e. you'd need to agree on a central authority who certifies volumes of carbon sequestered).

I was thinking the other day that maybe something that could be easier to objectively verify is something like a cryptocurrency where you generate a unit of currency when someone votes. Sort of like "I voted" stickers as a form of money. It's not a fully formed idea; I don't know how the logistics would work.

Bonus points if the currency as a whole is valued higher or lower based on individual voters rating their voting experience. Like, you ask them on a scale of 1 to 10 if they think they have a real voice in how their government is run. Thus countries would have an incentive to be democratic in a way that's truly responsive to the people and not just some kind of democracy theater.

Such a body would refuse to audit e.g. Wikileaks or Syria or North Korea do to some political BS which has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
