Last week saw The Climate Reality Project host a series of ideation workshops in Melbourne and Sydney to develop solutions for climate change using blockchain.
In the lead up to #Hack4Climate, a four-day hackathon in November, over 17 other cities around the world hosted similar workshops. Australian rounded out the final part of these global workshops, with other participating cities including Berlin, San Francisco and Seoul.
Over a hundred people from around the world will converge in Bonn later this year, for the hackathon which runs parallel to the United Nations climate change negotiations. Apply here for one of the funded-spots: https://www.hack4climate.org/#hackathon
Working with our international friends, events were held at the University of Melbourne and Energy Lab in Sydney. Both events were attended by over 40 participants with a cross-section from the blockchain, climate and technology communities; and facilitated by members of the team: James Ayers, Kim Shore, and Linh Do.
Speakers for the event included:

- Kiersten Jowett a blockchain educator
- Kenyan national and PhD student Kennedy Mbvea
- TIME Magazine Hero of the Environment Dorjee Sun
- Facilitate solar producers donating excess energy to charities.
- Verify movements in carbon registers (such as forests) with satellite data to monitor and update carbon accounts as part of UN carbon reduction mechanisms.
- Facilitate immediate finance responses to those impacts by climate change.
- Send renewable energy surplus profits to finance construction of further renewable energy generation in a rotating fund.
- Combine with other data aggregators to monitor the outbreak of diseases at risk of increasing exponentially due to climate change.
- Develop an app where individuals or organisations could monitor their individual carbon expenditures.
- Increase energy efficiency through enabling on-demand electricity usage for home applicants.
- Track different components of autonomous vehicles, which due to their constant use, will have an overall shorter lifespan than the our current vehicles.
