The MENA Climate Week was full of insights from prominent blockchain figures Dr. Marwan Al Zarouni of the Dubai Blockchain Centre, Dr. Jane Thomason, Frontier Technology Leader and Kristina Lucrezia Cornèr of Cointelegraph.
According to Dimassi, because there are many growing climate issues in the world today, it's necessary to promote government regulations and policies that enable people to adopt digital innovations such as blockchain technology. The UN director noted that blockchain is itself just a neutral technology and that it's up to the users what they do with it:
Apart from Dimassi, Al Zarouni also highlighted efforts within the UAE government to support the adoption of blockchain technology. Al Zarouni noted, a government-backed effort to push blockchain adoption in the region. “Blockchains can automate measurement and remunerate those responsible for positive contributions to individual areas, which benefits the environment as a whole.”
Youth Climate Action Leader Ameera Al Haranki noted that action for climate empowerment is crucial and increasing awareness and collaboration within this sector is very important. While she doesn’t claim to be an expert in blockchain, the youth leader said that she “sees potential” in the technology to be used in climate action.
