Call for Papers: Blockchain technologies and environmental 
sustainability @Amplify

The use of blockchain technologies is becoming increasingly popular in 
numerous industries, including finance, supply chain management, 
healthcare, and tourism. Consequently, there is a growing need to 
explore their potential impact on environmental sustainability. This 
topic is already widely discussed in the public media and previous 
findings in the literature are often contradictory.

An upcoming issue of Amplify, with Guest Editor Horst Treiblmaier, will 
provide specific insights on how blockchain technologies can help to 
create more environmentally sustainable solutions. We are especially 
looking for a thorough documentation of existing applications that have 
proven to have a positive environmental impact.

This call for papers therefore invites researchers and practitioners to 
submit original papers related to real-world applications of blockchain 
technology and their implications for environmental sustainability.

Article ideas may include the following topics:
•    Blockchain applications for natural resource and sustainable energy 
management
•    Decentralized systems for carbon accounting and emissions reduction
•    Blockchain-based traceability and transparency for sustainable 
supply chains
•    Smart contracts for environmental conservation and biodiversity 
protection
•    Examples of blockchain technology for sustainability in global 
operations
•    Blockchain-based incentives and reward systems for sustainable 
behaviors and practices
•    Decentralized waste management systems
•    Blockchain-enabled circular economy models for sustainable 
consumption and production
•    Blockchain-based water resource management and conservation
•    Blockchain for sustainable agriculture and food systems
•    Blockchain for sustainable urban planning and transportation
