Principles and case studies for disruptive technologies and 1.5°-compliant system transformation

Emerging technologies have given the world unprecedented potential to address humanity’s most pressing challenges. In this side event, the Climate Ledger Initiative (CLI) assesses the landscape of emerging digital technologies to identify those most effective for operationalizing policy instruments of the Paris Agreement and accelerating progress to meet the 1.5 degree temperature limit. CLI will launch the second edition of the Navigating Blockchain for Climate Action report, featuring progress from use cases including recommendations for further exploration, implementation, and scaling up.

Climate-KIC will then address practical approaches for whole system transformation initiatives through connected portfolio-based interventions. This provides a practical approach of how to deliberately design for change in high complexity environments to ensure solutions are maximized towards impact and do not result in long-term problems.
