 Hi everyone. This is Dunia. I work as a research associate in Halifah University in Abu Dhabi, the UAE. My mentors in this project were Saichan and Sherwood Moore, and we work together under the projects named documentation and use cases for climate action. So first, I'll start with a quick description of the project. It's a project that falls under the climate action and accounting group. And in this project, we were trying to unfold and understand the structure and the dynamics of the voluntary carbon offsets market. That's facing several challenges, and what we were trying to do is to really hear from the field experts and the stakeholders to hear about their experiences and the challenges they struggle with in order to find a suitable solution to them. So in a nutshell, this project came with the aims to understand and unfold the characteristics of the market, analyze the findings that we find throughout the project, and finally identify how blockchain can be used in order to improve the voluntary carbon offsets market. So the objectives of the project can be distinguished into five main ones. Like first one was mapping out the ecosystem of the market and identifying the key participants and stakeholders. The second objective was to find, reach out and interview the various market stakeholders that we categorized under developers, buyers, brokers, standards and government entities. The third objective was identifying the key challenges that the market is struggling with. And the fourth objective was analyzing the findings and finally the fifth objective was drafting a paper. We had five deliverables for this project. First, I had to conduct a literature review about the background of the voluntary carbon offsets market, including the citations of course. The second deliverable was in interviewing the stakeholders of the ecosystem. The third deliverable was providing the architecture for the voluntary carbon offsets market, based on the interviews ecosystem mapping and the literature review conducted at the beginning. The fourth deliverable was wrapping up the paper. And the fifth deliverable was submitting the paper to a journal for publication. So what we accomplished so far was the deal that we did literature review. We interviewed our stakeholders, and we, and we analyze the findings and we drafted the paper which is ready for the public review. What we didn't complete yet is submitting the paper for publication, and that's because we're, we're waiting for some feedback from the people that we interviewed, and even people from this community. So we, we, we faced some couple of challenges. First, we, there is a scarcity of the literature, the voluntary carbon offsets field is not that explored for compared to the compliance market for instance. And so we struggled with finding some data and collect the collection of data. We also struggled with getting responses from the people that we were reaching out to. Sometimes we would not get, we would not get responses and that slowed, slowed us sometimes. But we, we, we overcame that. And the other challenge was analyzing the qualitative data. Which is like, unlike the quantitative. It's very challenging to analyze responses from surveys, which is qualitative and interviews. And so they said for the project's output results. We would draft the paper to the ready for your review in the wiki hyper ledger. I'm sorry. It's available here for your review and we will appreciate your participation in giving us insights about the paper. Any type of comments. What do you think we should add or remove anything would be appreciated. So, as I said, you can have access to the to the paper. It's, it's very detailed you can have. You can go through it in order to understand what's what has been done in the literature review, how the interviews were conducted, who did we interview. And you can read the details of the results. But I wanted to give you just a snapshot here from from the results. We found that the top three challenges that stakeholders face are quality transparency and cost. And even here, as you can see, in the seven figure. 21 out of 30 people that we interviewed said that quality was an issue 16 said that transparency was a key challenge and 12 said that costs are challenged. Here, I have a heat map that shows the top challenges. Third, as like for each type of stakeholders. For instance, for the developers 100% of them said that quality was an issue for standards, 80% said that constant scale are an issue, or are the main issue to them. Here, for instance, for the brokers, 63% said that quality again is an issue buyers 100% said that quality is an issue, government see that transparency, or 80% of them said that transparency is the main challenge that they face. So that brings us to the conclusion that we made at the end of this study that we really need to create a robust rigorous system that establish reputation for the stakeholders in this market. And that's where blockchain can come in. So for like a recommendation for you to work. So we would love to design blockchain based system to build a reputation system for the market. Another recommendation is for you to work is to increase the number of interviews to really have to like make very firm and rebuild inclusion. Another recommendation is to conduct a follow up study to include more participants and even test different approaches. Some of the insights gained in this project. I really appreciate the valuable insights from my mentors and Chris, who helped a lot in this project. My mentors were always there to provide their guidance and help whenever needed, which I really appreciate. I also had the chance to have several interactions with different experts from the field, and that really helped me grow professionally a lot, even learned how to drive an interview, an interview to get the best out of the person in front of me. The pieces of advice that would love to give to the future mentees is to really use this opportunity to grow their professional network, and to learn as much as possible from the experience and the knowledge of their mentors to another piece of advice is to really have a clear plan of deliverables and objectives from day one because that makes life easier. And finally, to always reach out for help whenever needed. And yeah, I think that's it. If you have any questions, please, please ask. Thank you, Tonya.
