Participants will gain practical perspectives to help them designsecure, responsible, and resilient technology solutionsfor their ClimateChain Hackathon projects. RegisterhereAbout the CLIMATECHAINClimate change is one of the most urgent challenges facing our planet today.Governments, corporations, and communities are actively seeking innovative technologies that can improve transparency, accountability, and efficiency in climate action.The ClimateChain Global Hackathon 2026 invites innovators, developers, researchers, and climate enthusiasts from around the world to build solutions that leverage blockchain technology and AI to address real-world climate challenges.This hackathon aims to leverage blockchain and AI technology to address critical climatechain challenges and support the goals of UN COP 31. By exploring the interconnection between climate data transparency, carbon markets, and sustainable resource management, participants will identify innovative solutions that enhance environmental accountability through AI and blockchain-enabled tools.Participants will design and prototype solutions that improve carbon markets,renewable energy systems, sustainable supply chains, and climate data transparency. By combining blockchain, AI, IoT, and climate science, teams will create systems that empower organizations, policymakers, and communities to make data-driven decisions and take timely, effective action to reduce emissions and promote sustainability.This global initiative seeks to accelerate the development of trustworthy,decentralized, and scalable climate solutions aligned with international sustainability frameworks and global climate goals.Finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their innovations to global leaders,industry experts, and climate organizations—helping transform ideas into real-world climate impact.Organizing ComitteeIEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group (https://cmte.ieee.org/turkiye-blockchain) organizes this hackhaton in collaborationin collaboration with IEEE Blockchain Technical Group, IEEE Orange County EMBS, IEEE Orange County Section, IEEE Orange County Chapter, IEEE Türkiye Section, The Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, AI Ecosystem Association of Türkiye.Organizing Comittee Members Dr. Güven Fidan, Hackhaton Team Leader / IEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group Co-Chair* Pradyumna Kodgi, Hackhaton Team Co-Leader / IEEE Blockchain Technical CommitteeProf.  Gora Datta, IEEE Blockchain Technical Committee Co-Chair Prof. Dr. Şeref Sağıroğlu, IEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group Chair* Prof. Dr. Sedat Akleylek, IEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group Co-Chair* Dr. Elvan Duman, IEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group Youth Chair* Dr. Kübra Seyhan, IEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group Women Chair* Efehan Maleri, IEEE Blockchain Türkiye Group Community Building ChairGet startedRegisteron Devpost before the deadlineForm a teamor participate individuallyChoose a trackaligned with your interestsUnderstand the problemand define your impactBuild a prototype using AI, data, or citizen science approachesFollow ClimateChain project on  to make hackathon announcements, engage with thecommunity in the World and receive ideas that may support your project.Join our IEEE Blockchain Community to connect with researchers, innovators, andscientists, and access domain knowledge relevant to your hackathon solution.Join sessions & mentorshipfor guidanceSubmit your projectwith demo, code, and description
