For individuals, initially through voluntary, gamified participation—rewarding low-carbon choices. Over time, policy integration and AI-driven audits ensure accountability without coercion. For carbon intensive heavy industries – steel, cement, coal-based power stations, petrochemicals etc., it will be gradually made mandatory.
An independent, blockchain-based consortium (aligned with UNFCCC goals) under a multi-stakeholder board ensuring transparency, fairness, and data integrity. For example, Carbon Authority of India- CAI (as proposed in the book)
Users may earn carbon credits which are redeemable for discounts on green products, renewable energy, travel, or even tax rebates in partner economies.
AI safeguards flag anomalies, while positive incentives and community monitoring promote trust and accountability over punishment.
By spawning new roles in creating centralized carbon intensity database based on carbon calculation engine, installation of smart meters, sensors and other IoT devices to monitor and track live carbon emissions – all leading to carbon accounting, app development, ESG consulting, data analytics, and green certification—potentially generating over a million jobs globally.
A governance model where citizens use digital platforms to vote on carbon policies—making climate governance participatory and transparent.
They gain access to global carbon markets where carbon credits (surpluses) can be traded for Green Income or Economic Capital, green technology transfers, and climate financing—accelerating equitable development.
Through tokenized carbon credits on the eCarbon platform—allowing everyone to invest, trade, or offset emissions personally.
An AI-powered virtual model of your lifestyle that simulates the impact of choices and suggests carbon-optimized alternatives.
Only with consent. Data comes from opt-in integrations (like banking or utilities), encrypted and fully user-controlled.
You do. Data is stored on decentralized ledgers i.e. blockchains, anonymized for analytics, and always deletable—compliant with GDPR-style standards (General Data Protection Regulation as enacted by the European Union (EU) in 2018—these standards are widely considered the global benchmark for personal data protection).
A dynamic, AI-calculated allowance reflecting your geography, income, and energy access—ensuring fairness across social and regional lines.
Your eCarbon dashboard integrates all three—rewarding low-carbon meals, EV commutes, and renewable energy use in real time.
Through open-access dashboards, independent audits, and equitable policies that connect transparency, fairness, and climate justice. CAI will play a key role in this
