This report shares insightful information about the extraordinary global diversity of CCC members’ interests andcapabilities regarding their priorities in the use of digital innovation for climate:• Types of applications (finance, MRV, mitigation, adaptation, registries…)• Priority Issues and Sectors (energy, waste, agriculture, natural ecosystems, infrastructure…)• Priority Stakeholders and Users (government, industry, supply chains, urban, rural…)• Priority Market Geographies (Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, Latin America, Oceania)• Types of blockchain (Ethereum, Hyperledger, IOTA, Stellar, proprietary…)
The CCC is grateful for the support from the UNFCCC Secretariat, serving as CCC co-chair for the first 5 years, andalso the valuable collaborations over the years with other UN organizations, with the World Bank, as well as related
initiatives that want to realize the potential of digital innovations for climate action. The CCC looks forward tocontinue collaborating with the UNFCCC via the UN Global Innovation Hub.
However, CCC members recognize there is a great need to intensify collaboration towards co-leading and cocreating the various forms of innovations for a shared data and digital infrastructure supporting ambitious climate
actions to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and beyond. We encourage you to read through this report andbecome familiar with our future plans to amplify collaboration via boosted initiatives such as the Digital Innovation
Pavilion launching at COP27, and new Climate Chain Labs to help manage and accelerate development anddeployment of solutions.
The CCC will continue to be a ‘big tent’ global network to welcome newcomers interested in emerging technologies
and digital innovations for climate action, and we will build on our growth into 360+ organizations over our first 5
years as we move forward into the next 5 years of accelerating changes geared towards a more sustainable world.

Sincerely and with best wishes,

Tom Baumann, Chair CCC

ABOUT CLIMATE CHAIN COALITIONA GLOBAL MULTI-STAKEHOLDERNETWORK INTEGRATING DIGITALSOLUTIONS TO SCALE CLIMATE ACTIONS.
The CCC was launched in 2017 with the cooperation of the UNFCCC Secretariat in response to growing interestand the rapid evolution of digital innovations for climate action. The original purpose of the CCC was to grow a “bigtent” open global multi-stakeholder network to support collaboration among members and stakeholders toadvance blockchain (distributed ledger technology) and related digital solutions (e.g. IoT, big data) to help mobilize
climate finance and enhance MRV (measurement, reporting and verification) to scale climate actions for mitigation
and adaptation.
In 2021, the CCC was recognized together with the Crypto Climate Accord in the Top 100 Influencers in Crypto andBlockchain. As of COP27 2022, the CCC has grown to 360+ organizations in 69 countries, including partnerships
with both climate and digital communities.

ABOUT CLIMATE CHAIN COALITIONOUR GENESIS & BRAND
The genesis and brand for the CCC is a combination of a global “human chain” to collaborate on solutions tochallenges in order to advance blockchain and digital innovations to achieve ambitious climate action goals. The
CCC, as its name connotes, is a coalition - a group formed by two or more parties agreeing to work together toachieve a shared goal. The CCC is not a top-down hierarchical organization or centralized hub directing members.
Rather, to be aligned with the ethos of emerging digital innovations to democratize and empower stakeholders, the
CCC serves as a decentralized, “connecting mesh” or “collaborative fabric” that helps amplify activities by CCC
members collaborating as a global multi-stakeholder network to solve issues and challenges.
As digital innovations are starting to mature, and as described in this report, the CCC is evolving in response to
CCC Members and stakeholders demands to focus on activities to resolve an array of challenges, including
primarily:• Growing partnerships across climate and digital communities, including the Digital Innovation Community andDigital Innovation Pavilion within the UNFCCC process• Supporting knowledge creation and sharing, as well as access to resources to accelerate growth of solutions• Co-leading and co-creating collaborative efforts, such as via new Climate Chain Labs, for shared data and digital
innovation infrastructure to help empower stakeholders as an integrated ecosystem
The CCC has been hosted since 2018 by the Canadian not-for-profit NovaSphere, which provides management,
legal, and financial systems in support of the CCC.

ALIGNMENT WITH THE LONG-TERM GOALS OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT
We recognize the massive challenge and urgency of global transition to a low-carbon and climateresilient economy and align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. We will cooperate to support
immediate actions by and for blockchain and related digital solutions that contribute to theachievement of this transition.

ADVANCEMENT OF DLT FOR BETTER CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS
We will cooperate to support the rapid advancement of DLT solutions to address climate change
across mitigation and adaptation through enhanced climate actions, including but not limited tothe measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of the impact of all sorts of intervention, andthe mobilization of climate finance from diversified sources.

COLLABORATION WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE COALITION
On the basis of these shared principles and values, we will collaborate on concerted activities andin the dissemination of outputs in relation to DLT solutions and support stakeholder capacity
building with regard to the deployment of shared tools and systems to advance climate change
governance, especially in developing countries.

TECHNOLOGY NEUTRALITY
We recognize that DLT evolves constantly and therefore, maintain a neutral position regarding theapplicability of DLT.

COMMITMENT TO STANDARDIZATION
We will collaborate to establish basic standards in the development of related tools in support ofthe efficacy of DLT applications for climate change governance.

DISSEMINATION OF DLT BENEFITS
We will collaborate on DLT-related solutions to be developed in the interest of cost-effectiveness,
integrity, transparency, and empowering stakeholders in socio-economic systems.

FRAUD MITIGATION
We will collaborate on a proactive strategy to identify and seek to mitigate fraudulent activities
associated with the application of DLT in climate change and sustainability governance in general,
as appropriate.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADDRESSING CHALLENGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO
DLT APPLICATIONSAs organizations concerned about environmental integrity generally and climate change
specifically, we recognize some negative effects and current challenges of many DLT applications(in particular those using the blockchain with proof of work consensus) regarding their levels ofenergy consumption and GHG emissions. We are transparent and forthcoming while we actively
seek appropriate solutions to address these challenges.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
We recognize that climate change is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and willencourage the development of DLT-based innovations for climate change which cansimultaneously contribute to the achievement of SDGs.

LAUNCH OF THE DIGITAL INNOVATION PAVILION AT COP27“The COP27 Digital Innovation Pavilion is a space in which digital solution providers and the global climate action
and climate governance community can meet and learn from one another to find pathways towards accelerated
harnessing of the potentials of emerging technologies like blockchain, AI, IoT and other digital innovations for allof-society climate action empowerment and implementation of the global climate action goals of the Paris
Agreement.
The Digital Innovation Pavilion idea was first articulated at COP25 within the announcement for the Digital
innovation Community within the UNFCCC process and developed further at the Blockchain4Climate networking
event at the UN MENA Regional Climate week in Dubai in March 2022. The Pavilion hosts and partners are
determined to have a positive impact at COP27, while building already now the alliances and capacities for aneven stronger presence and strategic alignment with future COP presidencies, especially next year’s COP28, which
will take place at EXPO City Dubai (UAE).”MIROSLAV POLZER, IAAI GLOCHA & STRATEGIC DIRECTOR, CLIMATE CHAIN COALITION

The CCC and its members’ efforts to organize in-person and virtual meetings with stakeholders from different
sectors/regions/issues creates opportunities to develop partnerships to accelerate the development andimplementation of digital innovations for climate.
The relationship with the UNFCCC as CCC co-chair during the first 5 years to help grow the global network ischanging during COP27 in which the CCC will be a partner with the UN Global Innovation Hub (GIH), an innovation
space set up by the UNFCCC Secretariat for needs-based identification of innovative solutions for climate action
challenges. CCC is one of the lead partners of UN GIH on digital innovation for climate.

CCC LAUNCHING OUR PATH FORWARD
Continuing on the momentum of growth in CCC membership and partnerships, at COP27 the CCC is launching ourpath forward to build up its leadership program, boost resources and provide value-added activities according to:• a strategy for the CCC focused on making the CCC entity more effective in performing its role as a “connectingmesh” and “collaborative fabric” in the overall ecosystem• a strategy of the CCC focused more on the collective vision of the CCC stakeholders in co-leading and cocreating the data and digital innovation infrastructure to help empower stakeholders to achieve ambitious
climate action goals.
The CCC strategy recognizes the emerging potential of innovative governance solutions, such as Decentralized
Autonomous Organizations (DAO), and the CCC will initiate a learning process that will allow CCC to build theknowledge base and institutional readiness to have activities involving DAOs in due time. Thereafter, CCC would
proceed methodically to build capacity for itself and the wider community.

The CCC will continue to serve as a “big tent” global multi-stakeholder network while working to enhance its
activities to support the CCC membership and to engage CCC stakeholders and partners that have highlighted
priorities for:• Communications, awareness building and knowledge exchange of successful case studies, via an advanced
database• Coordination and mobilizing resources• Co-creating and supporting tools and platforms for a shared data and digital infrastructure to accelerateinnovations for ambitious climate actions.
As described in the Networking & Partnerships section above, the CCC will continue to reinforce collaboration withrelated initiatives and will strengthen its focus as an active partner in the UNFCCC activities, including the Digital
Innovation Community, the Digital Innovation Pavilion, and UN Global Innovation Hub. The CCC will also increase
the use of its communications toolkit to enhance its knowledge exchange, including development of an advanced
database accessible to stakeholders to support resource mobilization.
The CCC membership is continuing to evolve in the scope and maturity of digital solutions for climate. The changes
drive the need for a CCC leadership program to help mobilize resources to support CCC member activities to solve
issues and challenges and to achieve the CCC Mission and Vision. CCC membership interests span free-openaccess (appropriate for newcomers) as well as more advanced leadership activities (champions and change
agents) supported with financial contributions. The CCC’s new leadership program will be launched among the firstactions to operationalize the new CCC strategy.
The CCC will cooperate with CCC Leaders and CCC Partners to launch a series of Climate Chain Labs with a format
and terms of reference structured to optimize leaders’ collaboration for committing time, effort and resources tooptimize value-added progress, coherence and relevance for stakeholders. The Climate Chain Labs will help
manage structured programs focused on key issues to co-create tools and platforms for a shared data and digital
infrastructure to accelerate innovations for ambitious climate actions.
The CCC is extending and refining how it is organized and how it can better support the variety of links among CCC
members and stakeholders that span an extensive multi-dimensional array of issues. The CCC is a learning anddoing organization, as the CCC evolves to changing demands of stakeholder and member-driven needs. The new
CCC Strategy will continue to advance in collaboration with members and partners - together we will succeed inutilizing digital innovations to achieve ambitious climate action goals that also respect the sustainable
development goals.
