Abstract
The importance of efficient digital platforms for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) indicators cannot be overstated in contemporary environmental management and sustainability efforts. Such platforms are crucial for accurate, real-time data collection and integration, facilitating regulatory compliance, and enabling strategic decision-making. However, developing a usable digital platform for GHG monitoring is challenging due to the complexity of integrating diverse data sources, ensuring data accuracy and reliability, and providing user-friendly interfaces for varied stakeholders.
Despite the availability of multiple official data sources on GHG emissions, no specific digital platform exists to comprehensively aggregate and manage this data. Existing systems often lack the flexibility to incorporate new indicators and adapt to evolving regulatory requirements. This paper presents a digital platform capable of seamlessly integrating data from various sources and offering robust usability, to enhance the effectiveness of GHG emission monitoring. The platform can be valuable to stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, industry leaders, environmental organizations, and the general public to address the complexities of environmental data and advancing global sustainability efforts.
