Nicolas Cary is a founding Member of the Board of Commissioners of Blockchain Commission for Sustainable Development. The Commission was established to develop a multi-sectoral framework to support the United Nations system, along with Member States, Intergovernmental Organizations, the private sector and civil society, in utilizing blockchain-based technologies to develop local, national and global solutions for the most pressing issues of our day.The Commission envisions the development of radically creative decentralized solutions to issues including; conservation of natural resources, protection of the commons, economic growth, empowerment of all communities, financial inclusion and security, public health and welfare, civic trust and protection of the integrity of democratic systems—among others—for the benefit of our common humanity. The Commission suggests that the transformative power of blockchain technology should not be seen as a threat to existing systems of governance; rather, it should be seen as an opportunity for national and international institutions to defend the rights of those they represent, and to accelerate our collective progress towards meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
