新冠肺炎大流行加剧了气候紧急情况和绿色复苏的必要性，加速了对商业世界去碳化和变得更具环境可持续性的要求；同时也使土地所有者能够转变他们的农业和土地管理做法。气候解决方案交易所有限公司(CS-Ex)旨在打破目前的进入壁垒，并使自愿碳市场民主化，方法是实现对碳固存的准确且负担得起的测量，而不是现有的基于模型和假设的昂贵流程和系统。CS-Ex的目标是大幅增加自愿市场带来的碳量，帮助满足日益增长的碳抵消需求。通过使用技术，CS-Ex打算将碳抵消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“碳观察站”来实现这一目标。这些站点将通过卫星和无人机对地观测(EO)、机器学习(ML)和地面测量技术来测量和校准其碳水平。通过成功测量碳，CS-Ex打算实现：对土地管理者的自然资本生产的测量、监测和审计；测量的碳销售；以及更广泛的自然资本干预的规划。针对最近的新冠肺炎大流行，该项目的关键驱动因素是：潜在的“循环碳经济”带来的潜在机遇，可以帮助农村部门从新冠肺炎大流行中恢复过来，并从自然资本支付中获得新的收入流；在遥感环境观测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，而不需要人员在调查地点之间大量流动，来消除第二次寒流的潜在影响。

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.
