Dubai, Malawi Partner to Launch AI Platform for Climate Governance

The Government of Malawi has joined hands with Dubai-based Green Economy Partnership (GEP) to launch the world’s first AI-powered Paris Agreement Implementation Platform (PAIP) — a digital system designed to manage national emissions, carbon trading, and compliance under the Paris Agreement.

The collaboration links Africa and the Gulf through technology, combining Malawi’s sustainability ambitions with Dubai’s leadership in artificial intelligence and climate innovation. It is the first global instance of an AI system automating every compliance component of the Paris Agreement — including emission inventories, carbon registries, and transparency reporting.

Built on secure blockchain infrastructure, the platform ensures real-time emission tracking, data sovereignty, and transparency while enabling ministries and private entities to align environmental and economic performance.

Dr Yusuf Malsellino Mkungula, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Natural Resources and Climate Change, said, “This AI-driven system places Malawi at the forefront of climate innovation, enabling efficient management of carbon data and climate finance under our new Article 6 framework.”

The system, co-developed over two years by GEP engineers and Malawian officials, aligns with ISO, ESG, and UNFCCC standards. It also introduces ‘digital embassies’ to protect national data within secure, neutral jurisdictions.

Arthur Chirinikian, CEO, GEP, said, “Malawi’s adoption of this platform sets a global precedent for digital climate governance, ensuring transparency, access to climate finance, and real-time reporting.”

The initiative will officially debut at COP30, marking a milestone in Africa’s leadership in climate technology. GEP now plans to extend the digital transformation programme to other developing nations, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for sustainable innovation.
