What is Web3 and how is it building a new paradigm for climate resilience?
--
This panel was part of the Skoll World Forum’s 2022 Ecosystem Day and was wholly curated and hosted by Mercy Corps Ventures.
To us, climate resilience means focusing on individuals and communities who are already impacted by climate change and ensuring that the least powerful stakeholders — those who are often the most impacted — have the ability to cope with the effects of climate change, to overcome a climate shock, and ultimately, to thrive despite these impacts.
The urgency and scale of this crisis calls for urgent and scalable solutions, and so, over the past two years, there has been a surge of companies and initiatives leveraging Web3 and blockchain to confront climate change. We’re already seeing how blockchain can enable supply chain traceability and digital property rights, how decentralized autonomous organizations can de-incentivize carbon use and incentivize climate action, and how investors can play a crucial role in regenerative finance structures.
But what does this mean for emerging markets? How can we break through the hype of the Web3 movement to provide tangible results for the planet, and those most impacted by climate change?
While Web3 is not a silver bullet, we are excited about the transformative potential of the technology. We convened some of the world’s most exciting founders working at the frontiers of this space to talk through ways that Web3 can create real impact on individuals and communities.
