Investing in a Green Future: Aligning Digital Assets with Climate Action

Selva Ozelli is an international tax attorney, author, and passionate ESG advocate whose work sits at the intersection of digital assets, climate change, and sustainable finance. Her latest book, Sustainably Investing in Digital Assets Globally, provides a comprehensive framework for investors, institutions, and regulators seeking to align crypto portfolios with environmental, social, and governance principles — covering everything from carbon credit tokenization to renewable energy crypto mining and green bond smart contracts.

With decades of experience in international taxation and financial regulation, Selva has advised Fortune 500 companies, central banks, and international organizations on the legal implications of blockchain and digital currencies. She is also a prolific digital artist whose NFT series, including “Climate Change” and “Orcas in the Anthropocene,” have been exhibited globally, raising awareness and funds for ocean conservation and climate resilience. Selva writes regularly for Forbes, Cointelegraph, and other leading publications, translating complex regulatory and environmental issues into actionable insights. At UN Blockchain Week, she brings her unique multidisciplinary lens to show how blockchain can be a force for planetary healing — enabling transparent carbon markets, rewarding climate-positive behavior, and building a financial system that sustains both people and the planet.
