Lowering costs of green energy programmes, creating green job ecosystem, encouraging micro to large-scale green innovation initiativese, establishing international green trade technical schemas, encouraging faster adoption of carbon credit offsets to reduce greenhouse gases, and allowing government ownership as well as private participation in an open marketplace.
This solution depends on Mapbox and AWS. However, the architecture has been abstracted to a generalized backend. - The architecture is now containerized so that it is not reliant on any closed ecosystem - Kinesis is now a configurable option. The system can run without it. - Storage abstraction: there is now an option for local storage and/or cloud storage. There is now an option for local configuration and storage, cloud configuration, and/or it can be disabled and maintain system function. - Mapping has been abstracted to not depend on any one system. It can continue to use the free tier of tools like Mapbox and also has direct links to open source system OpenStreetMap via Overpass.

Principles for Digital Development
PII data is collected but NOT stored and NOT distributed.
This is an opt-in marketplace where transactions are public and immutable, tracked on a quantum ledger database. We minimize the amount of PII to the minimal necessary for functionality and track the transactions of users with regards to the organizations they belong to, not their own. We perform constant security & privacy checks on our code and through our quality assurance systems. We check the policies of the code modules that we use in our architecture stack. We have strict guidelines for who on the team can access private keys and ensure these are never shared nor exposed. We stay up-to-date on the international and national laws that impact our technology and ensure adherence accordingly.
Content is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
We have a strict code of conduct both for the website itself as well as for interactions in our open source community (https://github.com/undp/carbon-registry/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). We also have strict terms of use (https://demo.carbreg.org/terms). Both outline behavior guidelines as well as actions that will be taken if behavior standards are violated.
Yes
Our solution allows for interactions between users only in comments on transactions. Nevertheless, we have a strict code of conduct both for the website itself as well as for interactions in our open source community (https://github.com/undp/carbon-registry/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). It outlines behavior guidelines as well as actions that will be taken if behavior standards are violated.
