It is a vision of the internet that is more open, transparent, and user-centric, with increased privacy, security, and ownership of digital assets. Web3, also known as the decentralised web or the blockchain-powered web, has the potential to contribute to ensuring a safe and sustainable Earth in several ways. Is it possible to ideate on ways in which Web3 can impact climate actions positively? Is it possible to use Web3 for better climate outcomes? The answer seemingly is yes, and some of the possibilities in the newer future are these.
Transparent Supply Chains
Web3 can enable transparent supply chains by utilising blockchain technology to trace and verify the origin and movement of goods, materials, and products. This can help prevent illegal logging, wildlife trafficking, and other environmentally harmful activities by providing a verifiable record of the entire supply chain, promoting responsible sourcing, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Decentralised Energy Systems
Web3 can support the development of decentralised energy systems powered by renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydro. Blockchain-based platforms can enable peer-to-peer energy trading, allowing individuals and communities to generate, share, and sell excess renewable energy, leading to increased adoption of clean energy and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
