Buongiorno nexiane,

AI e blockchain per profilare le emissioni personali di CO2 con lo scopo
di combattere il cambiamento climatico attraverso l'eco-social scoring e
scaltri artifici linguistici come «product as a service», «demand
predictions» e «smart asset management».

Soluzionismo digitale on steroids basato su una allucinazione
pseudoscientifica: se non fosse che pare facciano davvero sul serio ci
sarebbe solo da ridere.

[...] While transport and buildings are the major drivers for emissions
in cities, the share of individual emissions are significant at around
40%.

[...] There have been numerous examples of personal carbon allowance
programs [1] in discussions for the last two decades, however they had
limited success due to a lack of social acceptance, political
resistance, and a lack of awareness and fair mechanism for tracking “My
Carbon” emissions.

[...] There have been significant developments in last five to seven
years on social, environment and technology fronts that could help
realise “My Carbon” initiatives [...]

Specifically, to mention three developments in this context:

1. COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility

A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were
adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous
examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass
vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public
health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.

2. Fourth Industrial Revolution technology breakthroughs

[...] technologies like AI, blockchain and digitization can enable
tracking personal carbon emissions, raise awareness and also provide
individual advisories on lower carbon and ethical choices for
consumption of product and services.

[...] the roll-out of smart meters in providing individual choices to
reduce their energy-related emissions, the development of new
personalized apps to account for personal emissions, and better personal
choices for food and consumption-related emissions. AI can also help
strengthen circular economy business models like product as a service
models, demand predictions, and smart asset management by combining real
time and historical data from products and users.

3. Raised awareness and ownership for nature and environment

[...] 80% of citizens say they are willing to change how they live and
work to combat the effects of climate change. Young adults, who have
been at the forefront of some of the most prominent climate change
protests in recent years, are more concerned than their older
counterparts about the personal impact of a warming planet in many
public surveys.

[...] It is suggested to drive a three-way approach to shape this
movement: [2]

First: Economic Behaviour

- Increased cost for carbon-intensive activities and goods
- Economic incentives to reduce demand and improve efficiency

Second: Cognitive Awareness

- Raised visibility of personal carbon footprints Raised awareness of
- personal carbon limits to sustain the transition to a net-zero carbon
  society

Social norms:

- New definition of a fair share of personal emissions
- Setting for acceptable levelsof acceptable emissions

Such economic action will need policy enablement from city leadership
through extensive discussion between stakeholders to arrive at a fair
and inclusive approach.

The levers of Cognitive Enablement and Social Norms will be much more
impactful through citizen engagement programs and learnings from the
above-mentioned trends need to be captured to design these
programs. Innovative AI and machine-learning capabilities would help
capture embedded emissions in goods and services, and could help in
providing individuals with tailored and timely advice on how to reduce
their lifestyle emissions.
