BC100+ Podcast Series: Rahat - Blockchain for Climate Relief with Santosh Shrestha

Building on the success of the 2023 podcast series on Financial Inclusion and ReFi, INATBA’s Social Impact and Sustainability Working Group launched a new podcast series in 2024. Titled “Blockchain for the UN Charters – BC100+ Ecosystem 2024,” this series features BC100+ projects, exploring their use cases, challenges, opportunities, and impact measurement methods.

You can listen to the 7th podcast here featuring Samuel Seongeun Lee (The World in 2050) as the Host and Santosh Shrestha (Rahat) as the Guest.

In this episode, we spoke with Santosh Shrestha, the CTO and Co-Founder of Rumsan, a company where he oversees the development of the Rahat project.

He spoke about his journey towards crypto and eventually blockchain, exploring the tech’s potential for global impact beyond the financial sector. He introduced Rahat, which means ‘relief’ in the Nepali language, the initiative that focuses on building resilience against climate shocks by empowering vulnerable communities through open-source blockchain technology.
