2019冠状病毒病大流行加剧了气候紧急情况和绿色复苏的必要性，加快了对商界去碳化和提高环境可持续性的要求；同时也使土地所有者能够改变其农业和土地管理做法。气候解决方案交易所有限公司（CS-Ex）的目标是打破目前的进入壁垒，使自愿碳市场民主化，通过实现碳封存的准确和负担得起的测量，而不是目前基于模型和假设的昂贵的过程和系统，CS-Ex的目标是显著增加自愿市场的碳量，并帮助满足日益增长的碳抵消需求。CS-Ex计划通过技术手段，将碳补偿MRV从“监测、报告和验证”转变为“测量、报告和验证”。该项目将通过在英国的林地种植、再生农业和泥炭地恢复项目中建立“碳观测站”来实现这一目标。这些站点的碳水平将通过卫星和无人机地球观测（EO）、机器学习（ML）和地面测量技术进行测量和校准。通过成功地测量碳，CS-Ex打算实现：测量、监测和审计土地管理者的自然资本生产；出售测量过的碳；规划更广泛的自然资本干预措施。为应对最近的Covid-19大流行，本项目的主要驱动因素是：潜在的“循环碳经济”带来的潜在机会，可以通过自然资本支付带来的新收入来源，帮助农村部门从Covid-19大流行中恢复过来；在遥感EO技术方面建立新的高技能工作岗位；通过使遥感技术能够提供所需的监测结果，而无需在调查地点之间进行大量人员流动，从而降低第二波新冠疫情潜在影响的风险。

The Covid-19 pandemic has accentuated the Climate Emergency and the need for a Green Recovery, accelerating the requirement for the business world to de-carbonise and become more environmentally sustainable; whilst also enabling landowners to transform their agricultural and land management practices.Climate Solutions Exchange Ltd (CS-Ex) aims to break down the current barriers to entry and democratise the voluntary carbon markets, by enabling the accurate and affordable measurement of carbon sequestration, rather than the costly processes and systems currently in place, which are based on models and assumptions.CS-Ex's aim is to significantly increase quantities of carbon brought to the voluntary market and help satisfy the increasing demand for carbon offsetting. Through the use of technology, CS-Ex intends to turn carbon offsetting MRV from 'Monitoring, Reporting & Verification' into '_MEASUREMENT_, Reporting & Verification'.The project will achieve this by setting up 'Carbon Observatory' sites at woodland planting, regenerative farming and peatland restoration projects in the UK. The sites will have their carbon levels measured and calibrated by satellite and drone Earth Observation (EO), machine learning (ML), and ground based measurements techniques.By successfully measuring carbon, CS-Ex intends to enable: the measurement, monitoring and audit of land managers' Natural Capital production; the sale of measured carbon; and the planning of wider Natural Capital interventions.Reacting to the recent Covid-19 pandemic, key drivers of this project are: the latent opportunities presented by the potential 'circular carbon economy' that can assist the rural sector in recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic with new income streams from Natural Capital payments; establishing new highly skilled jobs in remote sensing EO technologies; and to de-risk the potential impact of a second Covid wave by enabling remote sensing technology to deliver the monitoring results needed without the need for significant people movement between survey sites.
