The mandate will allow an effective approach to building the necessary relationships and generating buy-in from treaty-level stakeholders, national organisations and regulators, technology partners, and research contractors. The proposed working group, consisting of practitioners with blockchain technology and process expertise, would have to be established and sufficiently mandated to develop an initial architecture and operating model of the platform. Engaging the private sector and supporting startups in developing technology for the suggested global platform would contribute to innovation and increase awareness of technology’s role of enabling the low-carbon transition. Existing frameworks employed by organisations or related institutions for similar requirements may be adapted and implemented, which can greatly increase speed and reduce costs and the risk of failure.
