UNIQUE NETWORK EXCLUSIVE BLOCKCHAIN PARTNER FOR UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATED NFT CLIMATE INITIATIVE

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- NFT platform Unique Network has been selected by the United Nations’ accredited Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat) and the International Association for the Advancement of Innovative Approaches to Global Challenges (IAAI GLOCHA) as the lead tech partner for DigitalArt4Climate, its latest initiative to help combat climate change.

Unique Network is an NFT Chain that is expanding the capabilities for non-fungible tokens through its more efficient and scalable proof-of-stake solution, currently built for the Kusama and Polkadot blockchains.

“We believe that the future of human expression will be through sustainable NFTs, and we are dedicated to showing the world how it can unite our disparate communities in the fight to save our planet,” said Unique Network Chief Executive Officer, Alexander Mitrovich.

As the climate crisis continues to escalate, it is imperative the young people of the world are brought into the solution-making process, according to a statement.

To this end, the United Nations has recognised NFT technology as a unique new medium for creative expression that can help amplify messages about climate action.

DigitalArt4Climate aims to empower young artists, designers, and activists worldwide to create art that can inspire people to take action against the global climate crisis.

Unique Network will create and host DigitalArt4Climate’s NFT marketplace for these artists and web designers to showcase their artwork.

The marketplace will be built on Unique Network’s ready-to-use suite of NFT solutions that uses blockchain technology that is optimised for energy efficiency and low carbon impact.

Unique Network has joined DigitalArt4Climate to lead the technical implementation of the programme, alongside partner organisations GLOCHA, UN-Habitat, Social Alpha Foundation, Exquisite Workers, and Palette69.

The first component of this initiative was a Designathon, a design competition started in July that saw UX/UI designers compete to create the digital art gallery and marketplace that will showcase the second component of this initiative, DigitalArt4Climate’s Art Competition.

Meanwhile, starting on International Youth Day, Aug 12, young artists will be able to submit their work on the initiative’s website. At the end of the competition, the submissions will be put up for auction on the DigitalArt4Climate marketplace.
