Discover how blockchain technology can combat climate change by improving accountability, transparency, and climate finance. This infographic explores how Web3 enables local resilience, decentralized governance, and incentive systems that support carbon removal, sustainable land use, and open, community-led climate action.

How Blockchain Can Help Combat Climate Change

Accountability

Blockchain offers a shared, tamper-proof record of emissions, land use, and conservation data, making it harder to greenwash & easier to hold actors accountable.

Transparency

By making sourcing and transport data visible, blockchain helps reduce waste, track emissions, and build smarter, lower-carbon supply chains.

Better Incentives

Tokenized systems can reward carbon removal, land restoration, or biodiversity gains—without relying on centralized markets or opaque intermediaries.

Local Resillience

Decentralized tools support faster climate responses: direct aid, weather-linked insurance, or community coordination without bureaucratic lag.

Open Funding

Web3 rails let communities crowdfund and coordinate support for local solutions—channeling capital where it’s needed, without waiting on institutions.
