The Government of Malawi and Dubai-based Green Economy Partnership (GEP) have launched the world’s first AI-powered Paris Agreement Implementation Platform (PAIP). The platform automates national emissions tracking, carbon trading, and international compliance, making climate action transparent, measurable, and bankable.
For the first time, an AI system automates all compliance components of the Paris Agreement, including emission inventories, carbon registries, corresponding adjustments, and biennial transparency reporting.
Built on secure blockchain infrastructure, PAIP safeguards national data while enabling real-time emission tracking, project registration, and climate finance mobilization. It empowers governments, private companies, and development partners to align environmental data with economic performance, making climate action both measurable and bankable.
According to the Principal Secretary at Malawi’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Climate Change, Arthur Chirinikian, this AI-driven system places Malawi at the forefront of climate innovation, allowing the country to efficiently manage Internationally Transferable Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) and mobilize climate finance.
Developed over two years in partnership between GEP engineers and Malawian policymakers, PAIP aligns with international standards, including ISO, ESG, and UNFCCC reporting protocols, while maintaining full data sovereignty through protected digital environments.
In his remarks, the CEO of GEP, Arthur Chirinikian, noted that Malawi’s adoption sets a global precedent for digital climate governance, accelerating transparency, climate finance access, and real-time reporting, while providing a blueprint for Africa to lead in climate-tech integration.
The initiative also reflects Dubai’s post-COP28 legacy, using its innovation ecosystem to deliver measurable climate impact globally.
Speaking further, the Chief Sustainability Officer at GEP, Ivano Iannelli, explained that AI has matured into a powerful enabler of climate governance and that this partnership demonstrates how the Global South can lead in climate-tech deployment, with Dubai serving as its innovation hub.
The official unveiling of Malawi’s PAIP is planned for COP30, where it will be presented as one of the most advanced AI climate governance systems ever developed. Following Malawi’s lead, GEP is inviting other countries to adopt tailored AI-driven systems ahead of COP30.
