Blockchain como registro gestor ambiental

Abstract

The blockchain technology has enabled the registration of digital assets with authenticity guarantees and has improved production and logistics processes, providing significant advances in data security. However, recording occurrences related to life, society, nature, and the environment requires greater caution, necessitating meticulous and specialized records. This study aimed to create an environmental management registry, documenting anthropogenic or natural causes, both positive and negative, using blockchain technology. To achieve this objective, various methodologies were employed. Firstly, the Skinnerian theory, described in the first article of this collection, was applied to classify environmental occurrences that were not assigned codes, unlike Cobrade, which classifies only disasters. Additionally, through bibliographic research, discussed in the second and third articles, various environmental occurrences recorded by responsible official agents were identified. A comprehensive study on blockchain technology, its use and processes, as well as the consensus mechanisms and types of records transacted on the network using this technology, was also conducted. Finally, in the fourth and fifth articles, a pseudocode was created, presenting the necessary processes and mechanisms to achieve the proposed objective. With this study, it is hoped to enable the applicability of blockchain technology in geographic locations that require environmental management and awareness, ensuring secure and effective records for posterity.
