PLENARY SESSION 4 CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND BLOCKCHAINS – NEW INSTRUMENTS FOR BOOSTING SDG FUNDING? |
||
Expected results of the Session
In parallel to expansion of innovative financing toolbox for SDGs, a new ecosystem of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) or Blockchains have emerged. The questions we have today are: a. Whether cryptocurrencies and blockchains may become major game-changers in funding SDGs? b. Can DLT become a part of financial toolkit for innovative funding? c. Can DLG technologies make the “Billions to Trillions agenda” a reality? Pilot initiatives are already in place in a number of countries where blockchains are used for public services and broader development agenda. However, concerns and risks remain in regards to the cyber-security and environmental impact of the technologies. The purpose of the session is to share experience of organizations supporting or engaged in generation and management of cryptocurrencies and blockchains for development. The session will also facilitate discussions on benefits vs. risks of DLT for 2030 agenda. |
