About

1. Function and Role in the Ecosystem

VerifiedClimate™ is not a certification service, a marketplace, or a consultancy software.
It operates as neutral public infrastructure utility serving the needs of regulators, funders, institutions, and innovators who require tamper-evident, unassailable records — at speed and at scale.

Initial records are issued at a symbolic €1 during the open-access phase; all subsequent records are €100.

VerifiedClimate™ is the climate-sector instance of RegistryRail™ — the neutral record infrastructure built for application across multiple domains.
Its function is procedural: to timestamp, announce, and preserve climate milestones as verifiable public records that can be safely circulated before detailed evidence is prescribed.

The system exists to support institutional-grade climate disclosures — not to interpret, certify, or assess them. VerifiedClimate™ maintains a strict neutrality boundary, providing formatting and permanence, not opinion or endorsement.
‍
RegistryRail™ is architected to extend across multiple sector instances beyond climate (e.g., legal, research, procurement), while VerifiedClimate™ remains climate-sector-specific.

2. Purpose and Rationale

In an environment of increasing regulatory scrutiny, unstructured climate disclosures can hinder credibility, delay funding, or complicate audit readiness.
VerifiedClimate™ addresses this by introducing an institutional mechanism for:

Sealing declarations into transparent, review-ready RegistryRail™ Records
Enabling same-day digital permanence
Reducing ambiguity, delay, and evidence fragmentation
Establishing a traceable record path for ESG integrity and regulatory alignment.
‍
Initial Records typically contain only non-proprietary milestone declarations, circulated safely to reviewers who may subsequently prescribe detailed evidence requirements.

VerifiedClimate™ is not a software product. It is neutral infrastructure performing a systemic compliance function.

3. Core Capabilities

Accepts declarations across a broad range of use cases: carbon retirements, emissions summaries, grant actions, policy adherence, etc.
Converts submissions into tamper-evident, digitally timestamped records
Publishes a unique URL for each RegistryRail™ Record — compatible with dashboards, ESG reports, and procurement disclosures
Allows optional forwarding to certifiers, regulators, or funding agencies
Operates without login, proprietary viewers, or custom file dependencies, while maintaining full processing automation — no human handling layer, no subjective intervention
Runs on the RegistryRail™ , operating on ISO/IEC 27001-certified infrastructure
The system supports staged evidence workflows — first declaration, then prescribed documentation — while maintaining the original authoritative timestamp.

4. Neutrality and Certification Boundary

Certification, regulatory approval, or external audit are performed by independent actors. As a Neutral Infrastructure, VerifiedClimate™ does not provide such judgments.

VerifiedClimate™ is the reference standard for verifiable climate documentation, reinforcing accountability without favour, discretion, or interpretation.

By separating declaration format from declaration assessment, the infrastructure ensures that all Records are presented without conflict of interest or role ambiguity.
‍
Neither VerifiedClimate™ nor the RegistryRail™ verifies, certifies, or interprets content; both provide issuance, sealing, and timestamping only.

5. Regulatory and Standards Alignment

The VerifiedClimate™ Framework is structurally aligned with leading regulatory regimes, including:

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
EU Green Deal Disclosure Requirements
SEC Climate Rule (U.S.)
ISSB Climate Standards
SFDR and EU Taxonomy
Paris Agreement-aligned regional frameworks
Voluntary Carbon Market Integrity (VCMI) Codes

Records are formatted for use in:

Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions tracking
ESG reviews and assurance pathways
Public procurement and tender documentation
Grant disbursement audits
Regulatory examination and longitudinal comparison
Paris Agreement-aligned regional frameworks
Voluntary Carbon Market Integrity (VCMI) Codes

6. Evidence Modernization

Legacy workflows often rely on static PDFs, unverified spreadsheets, or undocumented file exchanges. These create vulnerabilities in accountability chains.

VerifiedClimate™ modernizes evidence handling by:

Capturing submission metadata, timestamping, and sealing integrity
Standardizing outputs across diverse input types
Eliminating reliance on unverifiable or informal channels
Providing verifiable references in minutes, not months.
‍
RegistryRail™ replaces informal exchanges with a transparent trigger-and-response model: a milestone record announces the event; reviewers respond with prescribed evidence requests, ensuring structured verification without delay.

7. Institutional Applications

VerifiedClimate™ supports cross-sector infrastructure use within climate-related contexts. The RegistryRail™ additionally powers non-climate domains where timestamped, tamper-evident records are required.
Common adopters may include:

Public sector entities responsible for compliance, ESG, or funding oversight
Banks, insurers, and climate finance institutions requiring verifiable documentation
Carbon offset platforms and retirement registries needing timestamped inputs
Certification bodies receiving structured declarations without prior formatting burdens
Startups and multilateral partnerships seeking legitimacy in complex stakeholder environments

The infrastructure adapts to the compliance stakes of the user — whether disclosing a €5,000 pilot or a €50 million procurement.

8. Record Outputs

Each RegistryRail™ Record includes:

A unique, tamper-evident timestamp and Cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256).
A unique URL to each RegistryRail™ Record (no login required, and controlled exclusively by the submitter).
Optional forwarding to designated recipients.
Supporting documents sealed against alteration; where issued later, they remain cryptographically linked to the initial milestone record and its authoritative timestamp.
Optional eligibility for public display in the VerifiedClimate™ ticker, if system-fit.

No proprietary viewer. No special software. No file manipulation required.

9. Operational Structure

Automation-First: All processing is governed by structured system logic; no manual interference.
Neutral by Design: VerifiedClimate™ nor the RegistryRail™ judges or certifies any submitted content, while record issuance occurs with storage and delivery operated on ISO/IEC 27001-certified providers.
Submission-Governed: Users retain full control over document visibility and sharing.
Tamper-evident by Default: Once issued, records cannot be modified. Edits require re-submission.

Infrastructure Assurance
VerifiedClimate™ operates entirely on ISO 27001-certified, SOC-audited infrastructure.
VerifiedClimate™ itself requires no separate certification because no human handling or local data storage occurs; all custody and timestamping functions run on independently certified systems.

10. Trust Infrastructure, Not a SaaS Tool

VerifiedClimate™ is not a certification service, a marketplace or a consultancy software.

VerifiedClimate™ is a public infrastructure utility serving the needs of regulators, funders, institutions, and innovators who require unassailable records, at speed, and at scale.
