Did you know that blockchain is being used for good? Blockchain is being used to solve issues like climate change in inequities. 

Right now, traditional companies trying to use blockchain are focused on tackling challenges around regulations, compliance, and identity. Blockchain is being leveraged in financial services to provide greater inclusion - meaning **banking the 2-3 billion unbanked individuals in the world**. It also means helping refugees access their money, helping facilitate remittances (usually sending money back to your home country) and more. 

This session will cover: 

? What is blockchain and how does it work? 

? How is blockchain being used to solve climate change? 

? How is the technology used to help solve inequities and global crisis (like in Ukraine). 

? Blockchain and the income economy 

? How is blockchain being used by financial services and in Web3
