The three-day program will take place December 5 to 7 in conjunction with the Climate Chain Coalition. This was announced at a press conference hosted by the Climate Chain Coalition, ‘Blockchain Technology for Effective Climate Action’, On June 8 at the UNFCCC Climate Conference in Bonn, Germany.

“We are happy to contribute to the Future Blockchain Summit and COP 28 in collaboration with the Climate Chain Coalition,” said Nena Dokuzov, Project Group Head for New Economy and Blockchain Technologies at the Slovenian Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport.

A blockchain for climate flagship initiative in which the Climate Chain Coalition is involved is the IAAI GloCha DigitalArt4Climate initiative, a global art competition to be launched in August. “These artworks will be transformed into digital assets in the form of NFTs that people can collect and also use for innovative resource mobilisation for local and youth focused climate action,” said Polzer.

The DigitalArt4Climate artwork/NFTs and edutainment hub will be on display at GITEX Impact and Future Block Summit and at the COP28 Digital Innovation pavilion. “The initiative will demonstrate how this kind of technology can have an impact on innovative climate action learning and digital skills development which are very much needed for broader sustainable economic development and (green) job creation.
