The research demonstrates how Blockchain-Based Affordances (BBA) can strengthen REC governance by enabling the application and automation of Ostrom\u2019s principles, effectively addressing issues like the Tragedy of the Commons (ToC). Furthermore, the study shows how BBA can enhance monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of sustainable practices in RECs, ensuring compliance with EU renewable energy regulations and advancing progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings provide valuable insights and policy recommendations that could be extended to RECs in the SouthMed region, broadening the scope of the study&#8217;s impact.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Paper-FEMISE-24.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download the Conference paper here\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract This article explores the integration of Distributed Ledger Technologies [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":23491,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[230,15,243,33,21,7,4,11],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23490"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23490"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23490\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23496,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23490\/revisions\/23496"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
