Round table

Blockchain technology is frequently criticized for its potential impact on the environment, which has implications for the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The alleged high level of energy consumption associated with this technology raises legitimate concerns about climate change.

However, the truth of the matter is often obscured by common misconceptions. In this round-table discussion organized by MuseumWeek on 26 November 2022 at UNESCO HQ (Paris) on the occasion of “Reconciliation with the living”, 4 high-level actors from the world of blockchain industry explored these issues to bring light on the environmental impact of blockchain technology and NFTs, but also on the contributions of NFTs in supporting the environmental cause.
