Blockchain for Good Alliance Recognizes Blockchain Projects Advancing the SDGs at 2025 Forum

On November 4-5, 2025, the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), a non-profit organization founded by Bybit, convened the Blockchain Impact Forum in Copenhagen, in collaboration with the UNDP's Alternative Finance Lab (AltFinLab). This two-day event brought together over 300 policymakers, technologists, and leaders from more than 30 countries to investigate how blockchain technology can advance tangible progress towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A Platform for Collaboration and Purpose

The forum commenced with a special leadership day titled "Chains of Change," focusing on governance, digital public infrastructure, and cross-sector partnerships. On the second day, the BGA Awards recognized outstanding blockchain projects addressing real-world challenges related to financial inclusion, sustainability, and digital trust. This marked the first major global convention wholly dedicated to showcasing blockchain's potential for positive global impact.

Key Themes and Speakers

The agenda of the forum featured interactive panels, keynote speeches, and project presentations across three main themes:
1. Blockchain for Digital Public Goods: Discussing governance, digital identity, and transparent data systems.
2. Finance for Inclusion and Impact: Exploring blockchain's role in democratizing capital access and enhancing financial equity.
3. Sustainability and Climate Accountability: Presenting blockchain use cases in carbon emission tracking, supply chain traceability, and ESG reporting.

Notable speakers included Helen Liu, co-CEO of Bybit and founder of the BGA; Robert Pasicko, team lead at UNDP AltFinLab; Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation; and David Ripley, CEO of Kraken. Their insights emphasized the increasing significance of blockchain technology in building trustworthy systems, enhancing transparency, and consolidating innovation to drive global development.
