Blockchain and other technologies could help improve data collection worldwide
At the latest COP26 climate talks in Glasgow, young people from around the world were loudly protesting from the sidelines to hold their elders to task for the catastrophic climate mess Generation Z stands to inherit. Government leaders made pledges that would not only not limit global warming to 1.5 degrees but would instead mean 2.7 degrees of warming by the end of the century.
Mainly these solutions operate at the fringes of the climate policy sidelines because of path dependency—the tendency of institutions to stick to a given trajectory rather than deviate—and risk-averse behaviors that arise from economic and social constraints that lead to little change in carbon emissions.
The time lags are also mind-boggling; the most recent report for China, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, was published in 2018 but contains emissions from 2012. That’s nearly a decade out of date, during which independent groups have suggested that China’s greenhouse gas emissions have increased 25 percent. Even the European Union is falling behind using 2016/17 data.
