SDG Monitoring
Technical guide for implementing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) monitoring using the Emerging Household Energy
The Emerging Household Energy uses decentralized Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) to track SDG indicators through:
- Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) for entities
- Verifiable claims and credentials
- Oracle-based validation
- Ex-post and ex-ante data collection
Core Components
Entity DIDs
Each participant (household, business, project) has a unique DID that links to their claims and credentials.
Claims & Credentials
- Claims: Data records about an entity (e.g., fuel purchases, survey responses)
- Credentials: Verified claims that are cryptographically signed and stored on the ledger
Oracles
Validation agents that verify claims using:
- External APIs
- Sensor data
- Survey forms
- Partner databases
Data Collection Methods
- Ex-Ante: Baseline data collected before intervention
- Ex-Post: Follow-up data collected at defined intervals
SDG Implementation Guide
SDG 1: No Poverty
Indicator: Annual household fuel cost savings
Requires tracking baseline vs. current fuel expenditure through validated purchase claims
Data Flow:
- Register household DID
- Record fuel purchase claims
- Oracle validates payments
- Issue savings credentials
SDG 7: Clean Energy Access
Indicator: Modern cooking device adoption rate
Data Flow:
- Log fuel purchase claims
- Calculate usage thresholds
- Validate through oracles
- Generate adoption credentials
SDG 13: Climate Action
Indicator: GHG emission reductions
Data Flow:
- Collect device usage data
- Validate emission calculations
- Issue ITMO credentials
- Maintain audit trail
Security
The platform ensures data integrity through:
- Cryptographic signatures on all claims
- Immutable ledger records
- Role-based access control
- Privacy-preserving data handling
