For Data-Driven Yale, a highlight of the conference was hearing from Nick Beglinger and Cleantech21 on how they’ve used blockchain technology to drive environmental solutions.
Blockchain technology can make supply chains more transparent and verifiable. Cleantech21 helped develop REDD-Chain, a modern implementation of measurement & verification that supports the United Nations’ Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) program. We envision using similar technology to improve the transparency of other environmental initiatives.
