UNPAID VOLUNTEER - Director of Programmes (DPG)

We are the Blockchain & Climate Institute (BCI), a progressive, non-profit, and volunteer-led think tank at the forefront of leveraging emerging technologies for transformative climate and sustainability actions. Our international network of scientific and technological experts is dedicated to enabling crucial technology transfers to forge a sustainable and clean future for our world. We recognize that while developments in Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), particularly blockchain, offer significant potential in addressing global sustainability challenges, a critical policy evidence gap persists among state and non-state institutions within the climate change policy community. Our core mission is to bridge this gap by enabling the global transfer of these vital technologies. Through the strategic aggregation and dissemination of new knowledge, our international network empowers both governmental and non-governmental climate actions with targeted technological interventions, driving impactful change. We are committed to raising awareness within the international climate change policy community about the immense potential of blockchain technology to substantially enhance climate actions through precise and effective technological solutions.

Our vision extends to the widespread deployment of blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) in both state and non-state climate sustainability efforts. This forward-thinking approach underscores our commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into the fabric of climate action. We function as a 'super-connector' platform, creating a collaborative environment where policymakers, corporate leaders, and blockchain innovators can experiment with and adopt the most promising concepts. This unique ecosystem fosters innovation and accelerates the practical application of technology to solve pressing climate issues. We are structured to combine the strategic foresight of a think-and-do tank, the proactive stance of an advocacy group, and the collaborative spirit of a chamber of commerce, all driven by a volunteer-led ethos. This multifaceted approach allows us to effectively engage with diverse stakeholders and drive comprehensive solutions for a decentralized climate economy in the blockchain era, ultimately aiming to make a significant and lasting impact on global climate governance and sustainability.
