Dear Climate Action & Accounting SIG members,
I hope this message finds you well in 2025! As the new Chair for this SIG in 2025, taking the handover from Sherwood Moore and Kamlesh Nagware, my first activity is to foster and collect 2025 project ideas from those with interest in this SIG. As we continue to explore impactful ways to engage and expand our knowledge, I’d like to gather your ideas for potential activities and initiatives. All ideas are welcome throughout the year and needed to keep our SIG at the forefront of this critical topic.
Suggesting a new 2025 project or effort for this SIG does not require you to work on the project yourself - only if you choose. The key for the SIG is to collect ideas.
Below, I'm just tossing up some categories based on work in our SIG over the past few years. Please feel free to add more as you see fit. Furthermore, our SIG will also focus on developing forward-thinking ideas for solutions applicable to global carbon accounting.
Expert Presentations: Inviting climate or carbon accounting experts to share insights on the current state of global GHG emission policies and trends.
Technical Presentations: Exploring advanced topics such as:
The best Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platforms for climate applications.
How climate data can be stored as immutable blockchain transactions.
Solutions for managing and storing large volumes of GHG emission IoT data.
Can LFDT blockchain platforms solve challenges with collecting Scope 3 emission data?
Projects (Listed in Linux Foundation "Labs")
Brainstorming technical projects, such as creating a solution to more easily capture Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Identifying opportunities for mentorship or lab-based collaboration on these projects
Publications: Collaborating with climate experts to produce publications that can contribute to the broader conversation on GHG emissions and sustainable solutions.
Your input and creativity are crucial to shaping our upcoming activities! If you have ideas or know experts who could contribute, please share your thoughts in our SIG meeting.
Looking forward to your suggestions. Let’s make a meaningful impact together!
Best regards,
Jeff Pribich
2025 Chair Climate Action & Accounting SIG (CA2)
Meeting Notes: February 11, 2025
Future meetings will be conducted when there is ample content to discuss from any member of this SIG.
It was brought forward the idea of conducting separate meetings to account for the vast differences in global time. This may allow for higher attendance at meetings when the time frame is more suitable for regions.
A discussion focusing on future projects in this SIG and the mechanics associated with bringing projects forward to the SIG. Alfonso Govela provided a much needed background on how projects are determined within SIGs and the lack of a clear bridge between LFDT members and LFDT committees. It may be helpful for LFDT members to be more knowledgeable of the efforts underway in the SIGs. Christiaan Pauw also provided information in the steps needed to bring projects forward to help raise attendance and interest.
Jeff Pribich and Elisabeth Green spoke about meetings with climate "experts" who don't answer any technical questions. An action is to attend the upcoming seminar on February 20th at 10:00 PST by the “Climate Center” addressing a reformation of California’s cap-and-trade program. Our SIG will bring forward in the panel discussion the idea to replace cap-and-trade with the Emissions Token Network at https://emissions-test.opentaps.org/request .
