Washington DC and Beijing Launch of Blockchain Lab for UN Sustainable Development Goals
The Centre for Citizenship, Enterprise and Governance (CCEG), the leading Think Tank on the movement of value which operates through the UN Innovation Centre, is proud to announce the launch of its Fintech development lab focusing on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) outcomes. The CCEG Blockchain Lab launches on Saturday 7th January 2017 simultaneously in the major capitals of Washington DC (USA) and Beijing (China). CCEG’s US partner Fintech4Good is holding a streamed roundtable event at the offices of 1776.VC . The Digital Assets Coalition Asia (DACA) Blockchain Association festival is being held at the technology centre Haidian Zhongguancun and is represented by the CCEG’s China partner Republic of Conscience.
The SDG aspirational goals cover 17 key areas to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. The United Nations is calling on all governments, private sector, civil society and communities to bring blended solutions to achieve these goals by 2030.
The 7th January launches are supported by universities across the world, including the University of Northampton, John Hopkins University and Tsinghua University. The initial CCEG Blockchain Lab projects include the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), together with Fintech solutions for Regional and City Impact, Care Givers and Religious Beliefs. The great differentiator in these solutions is the integration of multiple outcomes of economic, social and alignment of values combined with impact measurement in a single intervention instrument; something only possible through the power of blockchain. This sits firmly in the exciting crossover between Social and Fintech innovations that is illuminating all aspects of our lives.
CCEG’s Director, Barbara Mellish said, “This is a very exciting collaboration of leading global institutions to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. We are seeking further corporates, institutions, philanthropists and individuals to create structural change and swarm to target their desired outcomes. In essence, we want funders and doers seeking new cutting edge vehicles to join us to enact change.”
