The side event will showcase concrete cases in which blockchain based solutions drive action for climate and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation:

  1. the DigitalArt4Climate initiative https://digitalart4climate.space/ and its COP26 collection as one of the world’s most famous UN associated digital art initiatives, and

Important aspects of the event are also the promotion of decarbonization of blockchain and global climate governance innovation support for the UN system in general and the incoming presidencies of the UNFCCC process, in particular COP27 in November 2022 (presidency: Egypt) and COP28 in 2023 (presidency: UAE) in particular.
