L'articolo indicato da Antonio "Interrogating the promises and perils of climate cryptogovernance: Blockchain discourses in international climate politics" è decisamente critico sul ruolo della blockchain nella climate governance. Nell'articolo emerge bene come l'incorporazione della blockchain negli strumenti di politica climatica si ponga decisamente in una "dimensione anticipatoria", in cui le "pretese di conoscenza" sono elaborate da "attori influenti". Dunque ciò che si dice e si comunica sulla blockchain, nel contesto del cambiamento climatico, diventa estremamente rilevante perchè può avere un impatto sostanziale sul modo in cui il fenomeno viene compreso e potenzialmente distribuito. Le tesi, proposte da alcuni, di uso della tecnologia blockchain come strumento forte per la climate governance vengono analizzate e smontate dagli autori in modo puntuale, rigoroso e, a mio avviso, convincente. La considerazione finale, già riportata da Antonio, è chiarissima: "In interrogating this dominant storyline, we showed that, far from transforming current modes of governance, it risks privileging further the currently dominant technocratic, market-friendly and procedural approach to multilateral climate governance".
Interessante, come sviluppo del discorso, anche l'intervista di Mozorof a Olivier Jutel: https://the-crypto-syllabus.com/blockchain-imperialism/ Secondo Jutel "The power of blockchain is not derived from the technology itself, which rarely demonstrably satisfies its own terms of success, but as an ideological force and discourse of governance. Blockchain imperialism thus functions as a new data cartography of control oscillating between the objectives of state, capital and the solutionist prospecting of developers."
