In this episode of the Sustainability & You podcast we interview Morton Rongaard, CEO and co-founder of Reality +. He is recognised as a pioneer in the fields of Blockchain, Crypto Currencies and Augmented Reality. Morten is a regular speaker around the world on those topics and board member of the Nordic Blockchain Association and holds several advisor positions. We explore the world of blockchain as it relates to sustainability. The convergence of these two worlds creates many challenges and opportunities, but in realising its potential, we look at how blockchain may be leveraged to advance sustainable objectives, through traceability, disclosures, provenance of carbon credits and other applications. We also look at the sustainable footprint of blockchain itself, and its own challenges in moving to net zero.
We welcome on board as well a new young ambassador, Emily Baigent. Emily is reading for an MSC in Carbon Management at the University of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute, having achieved BSc (Tons) in Building Surveying (First class). She is currently a sustainability consultant with TFT. She was identified as one of EY’s 94 Network for future female C-Suite leaders.
