The Dunia Bora Foundation and African Blockchain Institute, in partnership with BC100+, is hosting a hybrid (in-person & online) full-day meeting in Cotonou, Benin on 10 October 2025 from 9am – 4pm West Africa Time (GMT+1). The meeting will address a just environmental and digital transition for two key geopolitical and economic sectors, regeneration of biodiversity and critical minerals. The program and list of speakers is available below with registration details.

The roundtable will address the partnership to be developed between stakeholders (authorities, businesses, civil society) in sustainable development and just transition on the one hand and those in the digital revolution on the other. The aim is to establish a common strategy to support Web 3 for governance focused on peace and prosperity and the use of impactful AI to change the rules of the game in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Remote participation will be hosted in English and French from Cotonou.
