The Human Rights Risk of Central Bank Digital Currencies

Date TBA

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are on the rise. Today, at least 127 jurisdictions are actively engaged with CBDCs, while 19 governments have deployed CBDCs, 41 have built a pilot CBDC, and 67 are in the research phase. However, they pose existential risks for civil liberties. Hear from CBDC experts who will focus on China, Nigeria, and give a global overview of what’s happening and how we can push back.
