The sixth edition of our annual report Navigating Digital Innovation for Climate Action (previously named ‘Navigating Blockchain and Climate Action’), reflects on the milestones of the CLI since 2017 and on major trends that have shaped the context for CLI's numerous activities. The report also presents two new use cases and provides updates on some of our earlier ones. Drawing on insights from all CLI use cases, the report highlights ten lessons learned and introduces a CLI guidance document for development projects to better leverage digital innovation.
What we have seen and learned in six years is incredibly exciting and has the potential, if combined with strong governance, ethics and collaboration, to change the way we do climate action. Technology cannot save the climate crisis, only we humans can do that. But human efforts can be enhanced, accelerated, unlocked and made fairer and more transparent with the efficacious use of technology. From 2024 on, the CLI will continue in a somewhat adapted form, leaving the more general awareness-raising work behind and increasingly focusing on practical implementation, scaling of digital approaches with our partners, and increasingly seeking impact. In this sense, the journey is only starting, and we are looking forward to having you on board as we enter in 2024 this new and exciting phase.
