Presented by S. Keshav, University of Cambridge at the ICCS Summer School 2022

Held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, 20-22 Sept 2022.

Carbon credits–especially those derived from nature-based solutions such as reforestation or averted deforestation–are deservedly viewed as being untrustworthy and their use by airlines and oil companies a

barely-concealed form of greenwashing. In this talk, I will present a so- lution to these issues that leverages advances in earth observation, AI,

cloud storage, and blockchain. This solution is being prototyped by the Cambridge Center for Carbon Credits (https://4c.cst.cam.ac.uk) and I will discuss the current status and our vision for the future.
