06-01, 17:30–17:55 (Europe/Prague), Flower Stage

Discover how empowering nature's sovereignty with advanced technological tools and human stewardship can redefine our ecological relationships and accelerate our journey toward a nature-positive world.


"Envisioning Eco-Futures" explores the transformative potential of recognising and empowering nature as sovereign. We'll delve into how treating Real World Assets (RWA) as Real World Animals and achieving financial independence for ecological efforts and stewardship can shift their valuation from optional to essential. By integrating eco-data into the digital economy, we create indispensable assets that respect the complexity of interspecies co-existence and champion biodiversity. How innovative tools, such as Sovereign Nature Initiative’s DEEP protocol and REAL portal, are pivotal in promoting ecological resilience and restoring biodiversity. Join us to explore actionable insights and the profound impact of cutting-edge technology in ecological conservation and community empowerment, steering us toward a truly interconnected and nature-positive future.
