DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nThe integration of blockchain technology into ca
 rbon markets offers a unique opportunity to create more transparent\, incl
 usive\, and efficient trading mechanisms. This presentation introduces a n
 ovel Blockchain Emission Trading System (BETS) model designed to align wit
 h Brazil’s new carbon market legislation (Law 15042/2024)\, ensuring tha
 t both large landholders and small rural producers can participate fairly.
  Our approach leverages official land registries\, such as SICAR\, to crea
 te spatially and temporally verifiable carbon credits\, preventing fraud a
 nd double counting while enabling greater accessibility for smaller stakeh
 olders who often struggle to enter regulated markets. By decentralizing th
 e issuance and trading of carbon credits\, our model aims to reduce interm
 ediaries\, lower costs\, and promote broader participation\, ultimately fo
 stering a more equitable environmental and economic transition. Through a 
 systematic mapping study\, we identify key challenges and research directi
 ons for blockchain-based carbon markets and propose a framework that ensur
 es compliance with national and international standards while prioritizing
  social and economic inclusivity.\n\n*Bio*\n\nJean is a professor at the F
 ederal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in Brazil\, specializing in inf
 ormation security\, blockchain technology\, and electronic documents. He h
 olds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge\, where hi
 s research focused on cryptographic protocols and secure execution of code
 . Over the years\, he has worked extensively on the development of blockch
 ain-based solutions\, particularly in the areas of digital identity\, elec
 tronic signatures\, and regulatory compliance. His recent work explores th
 e use of blockchain to improve transparency\, security\, and inclusivity i
 n digital ecosystems\, including its application in carbon markets and sus
 tainable finance.\n
