The purpose of this page is to share findings from the collaborative input from CA2SIG members to identify goals and objectives for 2021. Findings from the 23 March group brainstorming session with the CA2SIG have been organized into key topics. For each topic, this document provides:
CA2 SIG Mural Collaboration Results: Planning for 2021
Please click here to download the full Mural PDF for additional SIG member input including a map sharing where SIG members are from across the world and a deeper dive into the goals/needs that members have for their projects and the skills and experience they bring to the CA2 SIG.

Use Cases
CA2SIG Action to meet Use Case goals for 2021
Find best practices for developing a use cases and add this to the resource page to help offer SIG members a good framework for developing a Use Case. I'm helping build this out for the internship program and will organize it and share it on the resources page for the CA2SIG members as well. - Sherwood
Update pages for active projects - Si - Please help expand and standardize them as an example
First PoC together with a real customer
Run a Hyperledger Fabric network that is open for other people to use and join (and use
Show a real impact of project using metrics people understand!
Creation of Demos
Standards
Collaborating with regulatory bodies for defining standards and specifications for carbon credits and what is happening out there in climate action and accounting
Come up with block-chain based accounting standards for carbon accounting
Capital Markets SIG has a nice taxonomy. Use to solve the large puzzle of climate
Pick one standard Gap that is needed. For example, there is no specific standard about how to append a carbon value to a renewable energy certificate (on/or) guarantee of origin.
The value is the ability to run through the process of getting there.
Clear value proposition to organizations and SME's to participate and lend resources and support.
Once that has been navigated, the SIG can use it’s new SME to develop an approach for groups doing the same thing for different GAPS (and perhaps even an overarching plan of GAPS to fill (at the same time)
Interesting scope of work to explore would be standardizing the digitization of the ‘V” in MRV. (Almost always the ‘V’ is being excluded within the process of climate action accounting).
Hyperledger best practices for developing a use case.
CircularTree has run a successful supply chain pilot with Porsche and is interested in solving standards issue(s). Reach out to them to see if they would be interested in presenting their Standards related challenge on a CA2SIG call and explore whether the SIG offers a good home to tackle this real world challenge? - Sherwood
Establish thought leadership in the emerging climate accounting ecosystem
Awareness about climate change and how the project could be impactful in the domain among open source society.
Put process in place to establish CA2 SIG presence/presentations at climate change related conferences this year
Contribute learning materials
Develop scalable strategy for sharing out work that is topical to different Linux group (Sherwood to discuss with David)
Create a wiki page for SIG members to share upcoming opportunities/events to identify conferences/events that SIG members may be interested in attending. - Sherwood
Identify potential for SIG speaking opportunities, panels, webinars to participate in and put process in place for submitting speaking submissions. - Sherwood, Goal: 4 CA2SIG speaking events/webinars. Sherwood
Si, Kamlesh, Karolina and Robin proposed a panel discussion at the Hyperledger Global Forum “How Blockchain is helping to achieve sustainable development goals - Climate, Environment and Circular Economy” -Robin. Is there an action to mitigate the perception of blockchain being harmful to sustainability due to its carbon impact? How is this impact mitigated? I heard this perception from someone working in sustainability in my Carbon Removal Academy group
Move towards building a network representing active participation from all stakeholders in the climate accounting framework value chain
Reach out other technical communities (Ethereum and A.I for example)
Additional Input from Tom/Martin during CA2 SIG handoff:
Engage with the CCC. CA2 SIG has just become a member and has invited CCC members to join the CA2 SIG. Explore how to best coordinate CA2 SIG updates to the CCC, and vice versa. - Sherwood
CA2 SIG should consider collaboration opportunities with the CCC and other groups in the climate space.
Should we make a presentation to the CCC about our group? - Si
Map the puzzle
Map the potential business models / incentive / value exchange that could be used to launch and expand a global accounting framework
Learned that ecosystem mapping requires a tremendous amount of resources and varied expertise. (Mackenzie would hire an army of consultants to drive this).
