Technology Integration & Transition Pathways
Supporting just and verifiable transition pathways by integrating AI, distributed ledger technologies, and digital monitoring systems with real-world energy, carbon, and environmental performance frameworks.
Pillar Overview
DTID supports governments, institutions, and industry in integrating emerging digital technologies into real-world systems. Through applied research, policy engagement, and technical collaboration, we help organisations adopt artificial intelligence, blockchain, distributed ledger technologies, digital identity, and secure data infrastructure in ways that are practical, interoperable, and aligned with international standards.
How We Do It
DTID advances technology integration through digital frameworks, technical advisory services, implementation support, and policy research that help organisations adopt emerging technologies responsibly. Our work bridges the gap between innovation and implementation by developing trusted digital pathways.
Mission
"Enable governments and organisations to adopt trusted digital technologies through practical implementation pathways supported by international standards."
Key Outputs
Technology roadmaps, feasibility studies, pilot deployments, governance frameworks, technical guidance, and policy publications.
Core Areas of Work (DIV-05)
Digital Transformation
Supporting the integration of AI, blockchain, distributed ledger technologies, IoT, and digital infrastructure into public and private sector operations.
Technology Governance
Developing governance frameworks that support responsible deployment, regulatory alignment, transparency, and digital trust.
Sector Integration
Providing technical guidance across finance, infrastructure, energy, supply chains, public services, environmental systems, and other sectors adopting emerging technologies.
Implementation Support
Delivering feasibility studies, digital readiness assessments, pilot programmes, institutional capacity building, and strategic advisory services.
Global Standards Leadership
DTID contributes to international standards development where digital trust, interoperability, governance, and emerging technologies are shaping the future of the digital economy. These contributions help ensure digital technologies are implemented using internationally recognised, interoperable, and trusted frameworks.

Project Spotlights
Digital MRV Methods in UNFCCC and ISO Frameworks
DTID contributes to the development of digital measurement, reporting, and verification methodologies through its work with ISO technical committees and engagement with UNFCCC processes. This work supports countries exploring AI, blockchain, and digital infrastructure to improve data integrity, reporting, and implementation.
Key Outcomes
- Improved understanding of digital MRV methodologies
- Stronger data integrity and digital governance frameworks
- Greater alignment between national reporting systems and international standards
- Technical recommendations for responsible adoption of emerging technologies
CTCN Webinar Series on Emerging Digital Technologies
Between November 2021 and January 2022, DTID, then operating as the Blockchain & Climate Institute (BCI), partnered with the UN Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) to deliver a six-part webinar series introducing governments to blockchain, artificial intelligence, and other emerging digital technologies.
Key Outcomes
- Participation from representatives across more than 70 countries
- Increased understanding of AI, blockchain, and digital transformation
- Practical insights into technology implementation across multiple sectors
- Stronger collaboration between governments, experts, and technology providers
