Workshop on Blockchain for Sustainability and Industrial Resilience (SDG)

Scope

This workshop focuses on exploring the potential of blockchain technology to advance sustainability and industrial resilience objectives. It aims to understand how this technology can enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability across various industries, including but not limited to manufacturing, logistics, smart cities and energy. The workshop will delve into how blockchain technology, in conjunction with other technologies can contribute to these goals. It will provide a platform for discussing and debating the challenges and opportunities presented by blockchain technology in the context of sustainability. In addition, the workshop will also consider the impact of blockchain technology on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Blockchain, with its potential to enhance transparency and efficiency, can play a crucial role in achieving these global goals. From promoting sustainable and responsible consumption and production patterns to enabling affordable and clean energy, the applications of blockchain can be transformative. The workshop will explore these possibilities and encourage research proposals that align blockchain technology with the pursuit of the SDGs. Participants will be encouraged to submit proposals that address the challenges and opportunities presented by blockchain technology in achieving sustainability objectives. This will provide an opportunity for researchers to share their ideas and receive feedback from their peers.
