《巴黎协定》对气候行动采取分散和自下而上的做法，大幅增加了国家、次国家和非国家不同行为者的数量，从而构成了巨大的会计挑战。目前遗留下来的气候核算制度和机制不足以避免信息不对称和因行为者异质性和碎片化而造成的重复计算。本文提出了一种嵌套式气候核算体系结构，它集成了分布式分类帐技术、物联网、机器学习等多种创新的数字技术，以及嵌套核算和分散标识等概念，以提高核算系统之间的互操作性。这样的架构可以通过创建创新小组、提高会计解决方案的可伸缩性从而跨越到创新的系统设计以及提高包容性，来加强向全球南方的能力建设和技术转让。
The Paris Agreement’s decentralized and bottom-up approach to climate action poses an enormous accounting challenge by substantially increasing the number of heterogeneous national, sub-national, and non-state actors. Current legacy climate accounting systems and mechanisms are insufficient to avoid information asymmetry and double-counting due to actor heterogeneity and fragmentation. This paper presents a nested climate accounting architecture that integrates several innovative digital technologies, such as Distributed Ledger Technology, Internet of Things, Machine Learning, and concepts such as nested accounting and decentralized identifiers to improve interoperability across accounting systems. Such an architecture can enhance capacity building and technology transfer to the Global South by creating innovation groups, increasing scalability of accounting solutions that can lead to leapfrogging into innovative systems designs, and improving inclusiveness.
