The digital revolution is beginning to transform markets in ways unimaginable just a short time ago, with recent developments in blockchain/distributed ledger technology offering the potential to radically transform how business is conducted. Energy and environmental markets, global supply chains, financial transactions, and climate obligations are just a few of the areas that are being dramatically altered. This session will discuss why these technologies are being tested and deployed across a wide variety of applications, the advantages they bring to transactional efficiency, and how disruptive they could be to our current way of doing business. Particular focus will be on applications with the potential to affect carbon markets, including smart contracts, climate finance, supply chain impacts, monitoring and verification, among others.
