Open Earth Foundation builds OpenClimate, an open-source nested accounting platform that links climate data from countries down to individual sites using decentralised identifiers and verifiable credentials.
Open Earth FoundationInside Open Earth Foundation
OpenClimate is an interoperable network of nested climate accounting using decentralised identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs), aggregating data across countries, regions, cities, companies and sites.
Its stated purpose is to remove frictions in climate accounting by working toward interoperability between standards, reducing double counting and catalysing coordination toward Paris Agreement goals.
In a British Columbia pilot, PwC issues Scope 1 greenhouse-gas verifiable credentials to mining companies that the platform cryptographically verifies and folds into the subnational inventory.
A verifiable-credential and nested-accounting substrate for carrying verified claims and consent provenance without double counting.
