GREEETH

GREEETH is a platform that allows people to plant tree using artificial intelligence and blockchain. Its detect a location and sends it to a planter who completes the task.

Greeeth is an app that makes people plant trees using artificial intelligence to determine the type of land, soil type, and type of tree that is needed in a particular location, using artificial intelligence we will detect which location has more greenhouse gases (CO2) and what kind of tree will be suitable for the location.

Greeeth finds a planting location and sends task user closer to the location from our app to plant a tree. After successfully planting of tree user get rewarded with Earth-Tree coin.

Our app auto-generates type of planting pattern that will beautify the location and still combating climate change. 

Greeeth will use cryptocurrency to reward users when they plant. 

Creating a virtual world in our tree planting platform will allow people to see trees planted through our platform in a simulated 3-D environment using blockchain (distributed Ledger), we will store every tree planted on the blockchain. 

Integration of blockchain allows true ownership of trees in the virtual world. We are creating a platform where people can view the world and how greenhouse gas emission causes climate change and its reduction using trees with real data.

Greenhouse gases pose severe environmental and health issues. They cause climate change by trapping heat, which affects various species in already arid climates. Majorly we are mitigating CO2, a major greenhouse gas in the atmosphere with a high record of 36.7 billion metric tons. The climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions also contributes to extreme weather, wildfires, droughts and food supply disruptions. If our planet continues to release greenhouse gases at the current rate, the typical weather patterns will change, and some animal species will likely disappear. Greenhouse gases also contribute to air pollution and smog, which can cause respiratory and pulmonary diseases.

Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other pollutants accumulate in the atmosphere. These air pollutants absorb sunlight and radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. These pollutants trap heat and are referred to as greenhouse gases and have a negative impact on the planet is known as the greenhouse effect.

Each year, we discover more about the consequences of global warming through evidence of its worrisome impact on the planet and its inhabitants. 

 If we don’t reduce our global emissions, climate change could cause the deaths of over 250,000 people globally and annually. These devastating effects will likely also force 100 million people into extreme poverty by 2030. In countries that already have high levels of suffering and poverty, this could have disastrous effects that we cannot afford to risk.

Everyone around the world feels the effects of climate change, the most vulnerable are people living in the world's poorest countries. Increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, shifting seasons and natural disasters disproportionately threaten these populations, endangering their livelihoods and increasing their risk of poverty and hunger.

The impacts of climate change on different sectors of society are interrelated. Drought can harm food production and human health. Flooding can lead to disease spread and damages to ecosystems and infrastructure. Human health issues can increase mortality,  and limit worker productivity. Climate change impacts are seen throughout every aspect of the world we live in. However, climate change impacts are uneven across the country and the world — even within a single community, climate change impacts can differ between neighborhoods or individuals. Long-standing socioeconomic inequities can make underserved groups, who often have the highest exposure to hazards and the fewest resources to respond, more vulnerable.

Climatic changes already are estimated to cause over 150,000 deaths annually. That estimate includes deaths as a result of extreme weather conditions, which may be occurring with increased frequency. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods.

The effects of climate change span the physical environment, ecosystems, and human societies. 

We have done series of research and have engaged potential users in our design. We got their feedback and have implemented it in our design, we have leveraged social media to identify  our potential users and understand and recognize their needs. Our users are members of the public who wants to fight climate change and its impact.

We created a survey for our design and we got response from the public from different countries and from their response they were all interested in the design and we vetted their response and implemented it in the design of our solution. Users who have experienced this climate change event had good suggestion on our design one of which talked about showing statistical data on the platform on how the trees are reducing the CO2 which will encourage more people to take part in the project when launched. 

We also engaged some staffs in companies online and offline if they will be willing to use the tree planting platform to gift trees to employees  and customers virtually and also use it to meet their corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goal, which they can make themselves accountable to the society with live statistics in the 3D simulated environment.

Our research is focused on deeply understanding our users.

We selected concept, because it is still an ideal and we need great minds and organizations to work we us in order to tackle the climate change. 

Firstly, we need mentorship from great minds from MIT which they are among top academic institutions in the world and MIT Solv[ED] community, that will support us and encourage us on mitigating climate change in order for us to maximise our potential, develop our skills, improve our performance and guide us till we move from us to move from concept to scale.We can also get people whose place of interest relates to climate change and will be willing to partner with us from MIT and other academic institutes.  

Secondly, we need funding for the project to be launched, after we pitch our solution we will  be able to raise capital for the project.

Greeeth core technology is an AI, Blockchain, and satellite imaging powered solution to help measure accurately, simulate, track, and optimize CO2 emissions at scale in order to mitigate it and plant a tree. Our AI patented cutting edge technology leverages deep learning to increase the accuracy of the emission measurement, analyze satellite imagery and map, geolocation monitoring, and AI-powered spatial and temporal monitoring for carbon sequestration in natural-based for our project which will cloud enabled. 

This data gotten will make us act on the mitigation of the CO2 and will also show a simulated climate impact it can lead to, if not done and climate impact of our daily activities. 
We will have an ecosystem health tracking which we will use our core technology. 
We will use our A.I to analyze every pixel on the planet for relevant insights for CO2 emission.
In locations that are hard for human to plant and for reforestation we will use unmanned drone to do the planting or which will operated by our team using satellite imaging and A.I to determine the extreme locations that isn’t suitable for human, this drone can plant up 1 seed per second and have the capacity to carry up to 1000 seeds for planting.  This drones will be able to perform a seed-bombing technique, whereby the drone goes to a altitude and uses pressure to bomb the tree from the sky to the ground. 

Our solution will serve a minimum of 150 million people in one year. We will start with the locations with higher CO2 and areas that are most vulnerable to climate change. 

In Asian countries that are exposed to the full range of physical climate risks will serve a minimum of 60 million lives in our first year.

Also, in African countries, we will serve a minimum of 50 million lives.

We will also cover other vulnerable countries and impact the lives there, for both human and animals.

Climate change is already impacting human health. Changes in weather and climate patterns can put lives at risk. Heat is one of the most deadly weather phenomena. As ocean temperatures rise, hurricanes are getting stronger and wetter, which can cause direct and indirect deaths.

Our aim is to reduce this impact and save millions of lives.

In 3 years, we will cover a minimum of 80 countries including Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa countries and contribute to 80% of lives in these countries.

We will serve the people by creating:

• A Single Network for Forest Data
• Traceability and Transparency of Wood in Supply Chains
• To Halt the Idea of Deforestation
• A Cross-Border Investment Opportunity
• A new way to preserve forests and tackle the climate crisis without increasing budgets.

Our impact goal is to eradicate global warming by reduce the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere that affects our planet by 10%, this will be done by plantings of trees, in locations that does not have tree coverage, afforestation, and reforestation.

With this we will Impact more than 250 million lives  reducing the global temperature and creating a cooling system.

Given that the global average temperature has increased 1 degree celcius above preindustrial levels, there is only 1.0 or 0.5 degree celcius of additional “allowable warming’’ left to stabilize below the 2 or 15 degree celcius thresholds, respectively. 

Carbon emission directly affect humans causing more respiratory disease from an increase of smog and air pollution. 

Reducing global ghg emissions to slow climate change could prevent millions of death and save lifes due to air pollution.

Lot of trees are being cut down and the CO2 captured are released to the atmosphere. Planting of trees, afforestation and reforestation with drastically reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. 

Carbon emission eradicate certain animal species, destroy crop yields and lands.

Fossil fuel combustion accounts for 89% of all CO2 emissions and 68% of all GHG emissions. 

 With Greeeth, millions of life will have benefit to cleaner air quality and human health. If this mitigation is not done the CO2 will continually affect air quality and human health in 2030, 2050 and 2100. 

We will use sustainable development goal indicator to track our progress.

Target 13.1: "Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related disasters"

The number of deaths, missing persons, and directly affected persons due to climate change will be greatly reduced.

"Target 13.3: Build knowledge and capacity to meet climate change"

We will improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

We will educate people on climate change on our platform, and how they can take part in reducing the impact it might cause. With this we can have a large number of people that will take part in mitigating the GHG emissions.

We will use a principles-based approach would build on general lessons learned from.

the theory and practice of sustainable development indicators. 

The guiding vision: 

This principle applies to the need for measurement to be guided by the goal of achieving human well-being within the limits of the biosphere. 

Essentially Considerations: 

This principle also applies to both goal setting and indicator development in the sense that it calls for a complete system perspective. 

Others includes adequate scope, framework and indicators, effective communication, and broad participation.

We are looking at the big picture, how the CO2 in the atmosphere will be minimal, no account for climate change and how earth will be liveable with no disaster.

We will be accountable and transparent, and our progress will be visible across all our platforms. 

First, land tenure and land-use restrictions.

The government should use environmental regulatory body, to control public and private land use in the interest of environmental management and sustainable development

Second, there is a lack of supportive legal and institutional frameworks for tree growing and agroforestry in some countries in Africa and Asia, the government needs to.

• Identify and communicate a compelling economic narrative, providing evidence of how protecting forests conserves current benefits and helps to reduce GHG. Incorporate the value of forests into public accounts so they are no longer given a value of zero.
• Improve land-use planning or zoning to clarify areas that are “go” and “no-go” zones for forest exploitation or conversion.
•   Strengthen national interagency governance to coordinate policies across sectors and ministries.
•  Strengthen national or subnational interagency governance to align implementation across scales.     

 Third, financing tree planting has proved difficult because many forest benefits are not monetized. And financial incentives supporting activities that drive deforestation or keep trees from coming back often outweigh the incentives for conservation and restoration.

Our team is positioned to deliver this solution, consisting of 5 vibrant individuals who have contributed into the design and how our ecosystem can be a better place to live.

Our team will create programs to help push the tree planting in different counties and work with the government. 

Our team will engage individuals to take part in project in their community and reward them with our cryptocurrency.

The team will educate individuals on climate change, tree planting, and how to use our platform.

Our team had clearly identify the global impact of climate change for sensitive sectors and have examined its scenarios using time frame, spatial scale and distribution, choice of metric , change in extreme event or variance consideration. 

We want to partner with organizations that are willing to help fight climate change: 

This includes governmental organization such as:

1.  United nation Climate change to secure the implementation of the Paris Agreement for a clean, green climate-resilient future.

2. Environmental defense fund to preserve the natural systems on which all life depends.

We will also partner with schools, for profit and Non-for-profit Organizations, foundations, company working to stop climate change, in order for them to use Greeeth project for their Corporate Social Responsibility.

The impacts of climate change – drought, floods, extreme weather, increased incidence of disease, and growing food and water insecurity – disproportionately affect the world’s 1.3 billion poor, the majority of whom are women. Although women are forced to bear the brunt of the consequences of climate change.

Climate change is a global challenge that burdens all of humanity, but not equally. The world’s poor, the majority of whom are women, are encumbered disproportionately. As the world struggles to grapple with rapid onset disasters as well as respond to slower degradation caused by climate change, it is critical to ensure that the plight of women is firmly on the agenda of concerns, and that women – from different backgrounds – are able to lead in negotiations and participate in the design and implementation of programs.

it is imperative that gender equality and women’s empowerment continue to influence, shape and drive the collective climate and human development effort.

Women face specific gender-based vulnerabilities during armed conflict, such as sexual violence and loss of property, when communities disintegrate and resources become scarce. Domestic violence also spikes during times of intense sociopolitical and economic pressure induced by conflict. Women and children comprise the majority of displaced populations, and when normal life is disrupted, women have to take on new and added responsibilities to keep families and communities intact, especially if men are engaged in combat

Climate change worsens the cycle of poverty and vulnerability for women and girls. Women are more likely than men to die during and in the aftermath of disasters, and women’s socioeconomic margin-Women are also susceptible to sexual and other harassment - such as mental torture, verbal abuse, and domestic violence - in the wake of a flood.

Climate action can empower women to be part of the solution. Studies have found correlations between women in positions of political authority and lower national carbon footprints, illustrating the importance of women’s participation in decision-making. Promoting women’s education, participation in decision-making are among the most effective ways of reducing future emissions of carbon dioxide. It also helps addressing discrimination.

Ensure that climate funds benefit most affected countries and people and systematically integrate women’s human rights and gender equality into their governance structures, project approval, implementation processes, and public participation mechanisms.

Empower women as economic and climate actors, both as workers and employers, to help shape the transition to a low-carbon economy through, inter alia: promotion of equal rights and opportunities for women in agriculture; strengthening women’s land rights; ensuring women’s access to finance and technology; improving working conditions.

Promote an improved understanding of the differentiated human rights impacts of climate change on women, including through disaggregated data collection specifically focusing on gender and its intersections with characteristics such as age, disability and ethnicity.

With this women and girls will be able to earn our cryptocurrency when they take part in our project, with this they can use it to make purchase on the virtual world or convert it to other currency.

Empowering women to respond to the challenges posed by climate change is linked to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets, including: SDG1, 2,3,5,6,11, and 13.
