Blockchain technology recasts conventional approaches to sustainable development and accelerates SDG progress – if deployed responsibly.  The three areas where blockchain could be an SDG game changer are (1) building resilient and transparent supply chains; (2) creating stronger and more accountable public institutions; and (3) encouraging responsible sourcing and consumption.  Blockchain technology is recognized to be a key enabler and potential accelerator of the SDGs.  However, it is important that best practice conversations and sound governance policies ensure that the technology meaningfully contributes to sustainable development aims.
