Blockchain & Climate Institute

We were founded in 2016 as a not-for-profit organization. We combine the roles of a think-and-do tank, an advocacy group, and a chamber of commerce.

Our “super-connector” platform helps policymakers, corporate executives, and blockchain innovators explore and adopt blockchain solutions for climate sustainability. We specialize in areas like blockchain, climate change, carbon markets, impact investment, carbon offsets, carbon pricing, biodiversity, green finance, sustainable finance, carbon registration, green hydrogen, distributed ledger technology, and clean energy access. Our work involves raising awareness of blockchain technology’s potential for climate action and facilitating its deployment.

Our operational activities include managing and expanding our WordPress website to improve communication and global visibility. We also provide legal guidance across our divisions to minimize risks related to employment, contracts, privacy, and competition law. We strengthen global governance, accreditation strategy, and institutional accountability, supporting engagement with multilateral institutions. Additionally, we manage financial operations, including data collection, analysis, reporting, budgeting, and ensuring VAT compliance for our climate policy work.

Our mission is to raise awareness within the international climate change policy community about blockchain technology’s potential to improve climate actions.

Our vision is the widespread use of blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) in climate sustainability efforts by both state and non-state actors.

We are an international, volunteer-led organization with 51-200 individuals. We operate in a remote, home-based environment, encouraging collaboration with international teams while also expecting individuals to work independently.

Our culture is fast-paced, requiring critical thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities. Roles often include owning digital infrastructure and aligning technical work with our climate communications goals. We value a performance-driven, detail-oriented approach and encourage developing cross-cultural and cross-organizational skills within our global volunteer network.

As a volunteer, you will:

• Gain ownership of our digital infrastructure and build a technical portfolio connected to high-impact global sustainability work.
• Have opportunities to collaborate with international teams and align technology with climate communications.
• Gain experience improving a website that supports multilateral partnerships, events, and campaigns.
• Work in an environment where you can hone or learn new skills, including research, presentation, writing, and professional etiquette.
• Gain meaningful experience that enhances your professional skills and gives you a sense of purpose.
• Have opportunities to advance your professional career by making connections and gaining real-world experience at the intersection of climate and emerging technologies.
• Develop lasting professional relationships and build a global network in the climate and emerging technologies sectors, along with a sense of purpose and mental stimulation.
