An operating system for climate action with a digital identification layer at its center.

As usual around this time of the year, it is time for the United Nations Climate Summit. About 50 000 conference attendees have flown to Belém in Brazil from all over the world to discuss how “to accelerate and expand climate action” at COP 30.
Despite the huge spikes in emissions that the transportation and accommodation of all participants will produce, the event is planned to be “carbon-neutral” by “offsetting the greenhouse gas emissions”, probably to the delight of the carbon credit scam industry.1
It seems like a never ending story. As usual, media has started to whip up scares about imminent climate doom, failed commitments to limit emissions, and the absence of prominent world leaders. The climate meetings are almost always described as failures. “Too little, too late.” It’s a worn-out formula repeated every year.
So, what is on the agenda? Well, the whole climate charade is intended to give birth to a highly efficient carbon management system that will support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with humans in the crosshairs. Climate Change is Systems Change. An important tool to achieve this is the application of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and digital technologies (Key Objective #27).
Bill Gates is still highly involved in delivering these digital tools for “climate transformation”, despite the recent reporting about his retreat from climate change alarmism.2
A couple of days before the summit started, the Brazilian presidency presented a “groundbreaking proposal” for “transparent, interoperable and rapid coordination” of climate action called Global Public Digital Infrastructure for Climate (Climate DPI).
The proposal is an answer to the DPI for People and Planet Innovation Challenge which was launched in June this year by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Co-Develop, the Gates Foundation, the Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure (CDPI), and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in partnership with the COP30 presidency.
The mission is to “to design, prototype, and present transformative solutions that leverage DPI to address pressing planetary environmental challenges” and “spark a global wave of experimentation, nurture a new generation of climate-tech builders, and surface solutions that are ready to scale – or already scaling – worldwide.”3
This is a development of the Digital Public Infrastructure concept which was introduced at the G20 summit in India in 2023. It is described as the “foundational digital systems that forms the backbone of modern societies.” I wrote a lengthy article about it about two years ago.

Digital Public Infrastructure for One Earth, One Family and One Future
At the G20 leaders’ meeting in India, under the motto “One Earth, One Family, One Future”, the new concept Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and the NGO One Future Alliance were launched. These initiatives intend to increase the interconnectedness of the data-based systems with the aim of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals – The fusion of the U…

Climate DPI is described as an “operating system for climate action” with the ability to “coordinate actions across borders at unprecedented speed and scale”, providing “real-time data for early warnings and disaster response.” Key components include:
…an Earth observation data commons, real-time climate risk monitoring systems, digital platforms for climate finance (with robust verification technologies), and integration of Artificial Intelligence both for climate (to enhance climate solutions) and for AI itself (to ensure digital infrastructure is sustainable).In the center is a digital identification layer, described as “a system for unique identification of entities involved in climate action”. This includes people, organisations, and assets.
As stated in the report, “Leveraging national digital ID systems where available, or alternative community IDs, this layer ensures every stakeholder can be recognized and authenticated digitally.”
The “dedicated Global Climate DPI” is described as a potential “game-changer in responding to the climate emergency” with the ability to “turbocharge climate action”. The report also recommends international governance “under the UNFCCC/COP framework to guide Climate DPI development, supported by an alliance of governments, technology partners, and civil society”.
One concrete example is the establishment of a UN Climate Change Council which is intended to act as a “political steward for Climate DPI”. The proposal for such a council was introduced only a couple of days ago by the hosting Brazilian president Lula da Silva in his Call of Belem for the Climate.4
Coincidentally, a similar mechanism was also suggested in last year’s essay A Logic for the Future by Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s president Stephen Heintz. As he put it,
Given the critical importance of avoiding climate catastrophe, it may be prudent for the Trusteeship Council to be replaced by a Climate Council that would incorporate, elevate, and strengthen the UNFCCC and its COPs and serve as a forum for implementation of agreed climate policies and actions.5The Climate DPI report contains the basic requirements needed to establish an all-encompassing “all-seeing eye”, which can be integrated into the Global Government Technology Center’s vision of an AI-run Agentic State.

As is stated in the report,
Climate DPI envisions integrating AI-driven systems to anticipate risks, optimize adaptation strategies, and support decision-making at all levels.The coordinator of the report is the Brazilian lawyer Ronaldo Lemos who, unsurprisingly, was named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2015.
World Economic Forum is of course present at COP 30 and will launch the report Emerging Technology Solutions for Planetary Health in the Rockefeller Foundation-supported Planetary Science Pavilion, with the ever-present Potsdam Institute director Johan Rockström as a speaker.
Information Integrity on Climate Change
Another item on the COP30 agenda is “information integrity” (Key Objective #30). Brazil has launched the Global Initiative on Information Integrity on Climate Change, together with United Nations and UNESCO, with the mission of “investigating, exposing, and dismantling disinformation related to climate change.” The initiative was presented at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Brazil last year, as a response to the Global Digital Compact (decided at the Summit of the Future in September last year).
The initiative will provide tools to “fight the coordinated disinformation campaigns impeding global progress on climate change.”6
One of the partners in the initiative is the global coalition Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD) assembling “90 leading climate and anti-disinformation organisations”.
Their definition of climate disinformation and misinformation is that it “undermines the existence or impacts of climate change, the unequivocal human influence on climate change, and the need for corresponding urgent action.”
In a recent newsletter the coalition raise the alarm that global belief in human-caused climate change has declined due to a “top-down campaign, backed by powerful financial networks that artificially inflates fringe opinions”.7
Examples of organisations in this network are the usual set of “villains” Heartland, CFACT, Leadership Institute and German EIKE, and of course the “techno-feudalists” in the Trump administration.
It is obvious that the rhetoric and actions by President Trump, the MAGA-movement and “Europe’s Anti-Democracy Coalition” will be used as a pretext to manage the flow of information on the Internet. This is how the powers behind the scenes use dichotomies to further the agenda.
“Wreck-it-Trump” provides the needed excuses for global control of the internet. In order to not “appease autocrats” like Trump, Climate Action Against Disinformation write in an Orwellian fashion that,
…regulation of these communications tools in this environment in order to protect democracy and the health of the people on the planet is going to be tough, but it is the only option for democracy and climate policy.So what they essentially say is that a totalitarian surveillance regime is needed to save us from the authoritarians. “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” and “Ignorance is Strength”.
