The Sustainable Blockchain Summit aims to drive projects that align the global economy with the natural world.

April 13, 2023

SBS Boston

We bring together experts and enthusiasts in ReFi, Energy Systems, Carbon Markets, and Cryptoeconomics for discussions and networking. We will explore ways to reduce the environmental impact of blockchains, use web3 tools to regenerate the natural world, improve governance to benefit those affected by climate change, and broaden our ambitions to include all planetary boundaries. Join the world’s premiere forum at the intersection of web3 and the biosphere to help us answer these questions together.

Join us at SBS Boston to tackle pressing questions like reducing environmental impact, regenerating the natural world, and uplifting marginalized communities.

Agenda

Decarbonizing Crypto

Let’s measure the impact of web3 systems, deeply decarbonize them, and prove it!

Radical Inclusiveness

How can we build an inclusive, regenerative economy, using tools like supply chain traceability and measure-to-earn programs?

Transparency in Carbon Offsets

How can open, publicly verifiable data help us understand what is in a carbon offset and what its impact is?

Biodiversity

The world is rapidly waking up to the biodiversity crisis. What role can web3 play in helping us to measure biodiversity and mobilize resources to protect it?

Conference Topics

At SBS Boston, we'll together tackle pressing questions like reducing environmental impact, regenerating the natural world, and uplifting marginalized communities. Here are some other important areas where we’ll focus our attention.
