Our research will be additive and continuous. For various milestones, we will publish the results of our projects listed below.
Whenever possible we will build on research done by others and when feasible help or partner with other research organizations.
Because our research will require interactive collection and presentation software, we will use third party tools and, in many cases, need to build our own.
Greenhouse gases, biodiversity loss, and pollution (GBP) are major factors negatively affecting our environment, with responsibility falling on corporations, governments, and individuals. This research proposal aims to identify the types of environmental impact data and processes required for individuals to monitor the effects of their purchases and consumption on the environment, develop methods for presenting this data in an accessible and understandable manner, and explore how providing such data can help overcome biases and constraints (such as financial, tax, source of goods and health) and encourage sustainable decision-making.
The ongoing concerns of greenhouse gases, biodiversity loss, and pollution (GBP) have already caused significant alterations in our environment, creating an urgent need for adaptation strategies. Recognizing this, the current research project aims to explore and identify additional data and modified processes which can facilitate individuals to adapt to the negative environmental effects instigated by their consumption and lifestyle choices.
Building on our prior research on environmental impact data for prevention, this project will specifically focus on areas of adaptation, identifying not only the necessary data but also the barriers to implementing these adaptations. This will include analyzing the financial, tax, and regulatory constraints which may limit an individual's ability to make environmentally adaptive decisions.
The objective is to not only identify the pertinent data and processes needed for environmental adaptation but also to develop methodologies for presenting this data in a manner that is both accessible and comprehendible to the average individual. In addition, we will investigate how the presentation of this data can help overcome inherent biases and perceived barriers, thereby promoting adaptive and sustainable decision-making in the face of the ongoing environmental crisis.
Our hope is that this research will contribute to the broader understanding of how individuals can best adapt to an environment significantly influenced by GBP, providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to make informed and sustainable decisions in their everyday lives.
As environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, and pollution (GBP) continue to grow, it becomes crucial to understand our individual contributions to these issues. This research project will focus on establishing effective and efficient methods for individuals and families to track, forecast, and present their specific GBP impact data, aiming to enhance their comprehension of personal environmental impact and potential mitigating actions.
This project will organize and analyze data across four significant areas: Consumption (including categories such as food and housing), Investments (shares, bonds, etc.), Constraints and Biases (e.g., nutritional requirements, financial limitations), and Governance (areas necessitating government action).
The primary goal of this project is to provide individuals with an easy-to-use tool for monitoring their environmental footprint, and to make future projections based on their current lifestyle choices. By highlighting how different areas of their lives contribute to GBP, we aim to empower individuals to make informed, environmentally conscious decisions.
Furthermore, this project will explore ways to present the collected data in an understandable and accessible format. We aim to overcome barriers such as information overload and data complexity that often discourage individuals from actively participating in environmental conservation efforts.
Through this project, we hope to bridge the gap between individual actions and their broader environmental impact, fostering a culture of sustainability and awareness that encourages individuals and families to make a positive change in their daily lives.
Greenhouse gases, biodiversity loss, and pollution (GBP) are major factors negatively affecting our environment, with responsibility falling on corporations, governments, and individuals. This research proposal aims to explore government roles in influencing individual behaviour, including the use of regulations and "carrot and stick" tax policies, such as carbon taxes and refundable incentives. We will also investigate the development of accessible environmental impact data and its integration into policy-making to enable individuals to make more informed decisions regarding their purchases and consumption.
How good will be the data? To ensure that their data ,processes, analysis and reports are accurate, Governments and Business provide audits, and in the case of financial statements these audits are carried out by independent audits. We will research how audits can be done on the data by using the latest AI techniques.
Greenhouse gases, biodiversity loss, and pollution (GBP) are major factors negatively affecting our environment, with responsibility falling on corporations, governments, and individuals. This research proposal aims to explore the use of generative AI in automating the collection of complex environmental impact data, as well as assisting in the creation of various methods to present this data to individuals. We will also investigate the accuracy of the generated data, the necessary safeguards to ensure its reliability, and the prevention of AI-induced biases.
