2.Feedback loop decisions: LuxCS leverages real-time insights from technology, including remote sensors, satellites, and AI, to measure, monitor, and verify carbon evolutions. 3.Diverse perspectives to enable emergence: Various cultures, experiences, environments, and fields will pick up different signals before the future emerges. Diversity enables a broader, richer set of signals. These allow you to challenge stale assumptions (Spitz and Zuin 2022). LuxCS harnesses d iverse perspectives from a broad set of constituents, including indigenous populations and locals to Brazil’s diversebiomes, allowing for different responses from multiple and diverging points of view (Page2009). In addition to the AAA Framework, the other three avenues for transformative change exploredin this article also align with LuxCS’ strategy, and will be explained subsequently. The Virtuous Inflection Point offered by Blockchain and Democr atized C limate Intelligence LuxCS uses blockchain to create a public ledger that verifies and evaluates the true carbon abatement of carbon credits, which leads to transparent and cost-effective ways of achieving high-integrity carbon markets. As a result of this and other cost-reducing strategies, LuxCS’ carbon credit verification methodology is much more accessible than traditional carbon credit verification methods. Insights offered by LuxCS have historica lly o nly been accessible to those with deep climate data sets. As we reach an inflection point in our relationship with the climate, democratizing climate intelligence can help achieve systems-level success through virtuous inflection points. In democratizing climate foresight, LuxCS disrupts the “Stickiness” of path dependence as an early adopter challenging the status quo of carbon markets, as explored by Levin et al. (2012, 134). The widespread democratization of c limate intelligence is leading to “Entrenchment” and longer term disruptive “Expansion” of carbon markets access, as expressed in Levin et al. (2012, 135-136). This may become particularly apparent as LuxCS enters into the “early Climate Foresight: Transforming the Voluntary Carbon Markets, by Roger Spitz & James Balzer 30 © Disruptive Futures Institute, March 2025
