February 22 Presentation: Exploring the web of blockchain for social & environmental impact with PositiveBlockchain.io

Speaker:

Lucas Zaehringer, founder of Positiveblockchain.io and Lead Europe at Verity Tracking

Description:

Positiveblockchain.io is the open directory and community exploring since 2017 the applications of blockchain in the SDGs. The non-profit association works with a network of global volunteer contributors to maintain a directory of projects (1200+ in 2022), curate physical events throughout Europe or online and run research projects with institutes and universities. Lucas Zaehringer, founder of Positiveblockchain.io and Lead Europe at Verity Tracking, will tell us more about the database opportunities as well as an initiative for a multi-stakeholder effort to set Principles for Blockchain in Sustainable Development.

March 8 Presentation: BC Government/ Open Earth Foundation: Mines Digital Trust Carbon Accounting Use Case

Speakers:

Description:

This presentation and session at the CA2SIG will deep dive into an implementation of Hyperledger Indy and Aries, under the Trust Over IP Framework, using Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials to establish trusted interactions between multiple agents and climate stakeholders. Particularly we'll review the network where subnational governments (like British Columbia), Natural Resource Corporations (like Mining Companies), Auditors and Verifiers, and other agents across a supply chain integrate carbon and climate data for both jurisdictional and corporate inventories, as well as corresponding carbon adjustments when products cross borders.
The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (EMLI) from the British Columbia government has been collaborating with the Open Earth Foundation and their Open Climate network and platform to pilot a Digital Trust Network that is relevant to Mining operations and broader Paris-level integrated accounting. Both entities presented their work at COP26 in Glasgow in collaboration with UNFCCC and will walkthrough current status and next steps.
