The IOTA project's IOTA Foundation is going to be the sponsoring the upcoming Hack4Climate conference in November as the UN Climate Change Conference takes place. The conference will include a 4-day blockchain hackathan to encourage the creation of unique climate change solutions possible by distributed ledger technology.
The goal of the hackathon will be to develop new technology for identifying refugees fleeing regions severly affected by climate change as well as exploring new methods of processing air monitoring data.
“We have fully committed to this first Hackathon, because IOTA is all about building a better world, and tackling climate change is a huge part of it,” “IOTA is already working with many leading organizations from the private and public sector across the world as we were created because of the understanding of how important IoT is for making the global economy more sustainable. Starting with Hack4Climate, we aim to bring the climate and DLT communities together.” said the co-founder of IOTA, Dominik Schiener
They will be hosting 15 pre-workshops for climate experts as well as developers with interest in the conference. See the conference website for more information: www.hack4climate.org
