Supercharging Towards the Future: SustainChain™ Unveils New Technology to Visualize Climate Action and Progress in Real-Time
SustainChain continues to cement its position as the world's first public utility platform for accelerating progress on climate action and sustainability
2024 marks another milestone with the new capability to provide dynamic, real-time data visualization on the collective actions and progress taking place across the SustainChain ecosystem
New and existing partners continued the rapid expansion of solutions and learnings available on SustainChain through a public solutions drop
Accelerating climate action demands bold decisions, rapid collaboration, relentless execution–and a tech platform that unifies these actions in real-time.
On September 25, the US Coalition on Sustainability (USCS) and Salesforce co-hosted The Final Countdown: A Summit of the Future, UN General Assembly side event in New York to honor key sustainability leaders and unveil the latest advancements in its SustainChain platform.
Building upon the initial launch of DaVinci Mission Control™ – a reinforcement learning AI engine that fuels personalized insights and guidance for SustainChain users – this year marks another milestone with the addition of dynamic, real-time visualization of SustainChain member action and progress across user, industry, solution types and sustainability pathways.
Developed in partnership with technology firm SiiRA, DaVinci Mission Control™ is the only AI-powered solution purpose-built for taking climate action to a global scale and accelerating progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. SustainChain will make its solution available to organizations of all types that are actively supporting initiatives to address climate change, sustainability, and the SDGs but currently lack a unified, comprehensive view of their impact.
Since its creation in 2021, SustainChain has leveraged advances in technology, engineering, and responsible AI to enable businesses, governments, academia, and NGOs to discover the solutions, partnerships, and funding needed to implement sustainable solutions globally.
"There's been plenty of talk about moving fast to solve the climate crisis—but what does that really mean? For SustainChain, it means creating an AI-for-good platform for supercharging essential action and progress toward sustainability and the SDGs,” said Jacqueline Corbelli, Founder and CEO of the US Coalition on Sustainability. “In less than four short years, we’ve built the technology and grown a core community that can move faster and farther than ever before."
A growing network of networks fueling an ecosystem of solutions
In addition to launching DaVinci Mission Control, USCS hosted a major Solutions Drop™, a first-of-its-kind exchange powered by SustainChain for industry leaders, experts, funders, and innovators to share their needs, learnings, solutions, and initiatives in a live and dynamic setting.
During the event, several SustainChain partners across industry sectors “dropped” more than 100 solutions and initiatives ranging from guides and best practice playbooks to resources to bridge efforts between small and medium-sized enterprises and multinational corporations in rebuilding global supply chains.
“We’re committed to helping our members discover critical solutions and forge new partnerships to accelerate their respective journeys,” said Joanna Hall, President and Head of Product. “Our Solutions Drops are proving to be major catalyzers to aggregate and distribute those critical solutions, learnings, and opportunities amongst like-minded partners and networks.”
With a soon-to-be membership of over 5,000 and growing, SustainChain continues to become the platform of choice for climate action among the world’s leading communities, accelerators, and institutions globally. Key partners include Optimum Green Ventures, Salesforce, the World Business Council on Sustainable Development, the State University of New York, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, XPRIZE, and many more.
The event also saw the unveiling of CitizenChain, a groundbreaking first-of-its-kind civil participation engine that empowers everyone everywhere to help tackle climate action and sustainability. Built to support the work of the expanding community on SustainChain, CitizenChain is a downloadable app that embraces the critical role of citizens in making global change achievable. The app provides a gamified opportunity for citizens to take action and achieve new levels of digital activism on issues they care about, with just a tap of their finger. CitizenChain will formally launch in the new year.
