Abstract:

This article explores the blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) application to sustainable development. Recent innovations in blockchain and DLT architectures have significantly improved scalability, reduced the environmental footprint, and maintained the sovereignty of their communities of developers, challenging the arguments that these technologies are inherently unsustainable. New architectures are now mature and viable for a widespread blockchain and DLT application in particular to sustainable development. Their inherent characteristics such as decentralisation, transparency, traceability, trust creation and contract automation, are particularly well-suited to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This article provides a comprehensive overview of blockchain and DLT, examines early and new architectures, analyses their use cases to support sustainable development goals, and details implementations in standards and regulations, particularly within the European context.
