TRST01 Introduces AI–Blockchain Climate Governance Platform at COP30
A major technological highlight of COP30 in Belem, Brazil, was the debut of climatetech startup TRST01’s Paris Agreement Integrated Platform (PAIP) —a next-generation digital system designed to transform global climate governance. The platform aims to bring full transparency, auditability and trust into the emissions management architecture that underpins the Paris Agreement.
Comprehensive Structure of the PAIP System
The PAIP serves as a unified digital ecosystem that interlinks every step of the emissions value chain. It integrates national greenhouse gas inventories, project registration, validation processes, carbon credit issuance, auctioning, monitoring and final retirement. By combining artificial intelligence with blockchain technology, the platform ensures that climate data remains scientifically robust, verifiable and tamper-proof.
Malawi Becomes First Implementing Nation
In a landmark step, Malawi has become the first country to adopt the platform as part of its newly developed Environmental Treasury . This deployment is expected to enhance institutional transparency and encourage greater investor confidence by ensuring that both climate actions and financial flows can be digitally tracked from source to outcome.
Advanced Technology Stack and Capabilities
The platform leverages AI models, satellite imagery, machine learning , and smart contracts to automate compliance and support the transparency framework required under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement . By enabling real-time verification, it aims to streamline global carbon markets and strengthen national reporting frameworks.
Potential Impact on Global Climate Governance
With increasing pressure on countries to demonstrate credible climate progress, PAIP offers a modernised framework for emissions management. Governments, investors and climate institutions may benefit from improved data integrity, enhanced accountability and smoother participation in global carbon markets.
