What is Global Technology Platform

Chapter 178
Encyclopedia of Data Science and Machine Learning
A list of high technologies maintained by an international organization and accessible to any country that is a member of the United Nations and approved by the list maintenance organization to access this technology. Once a country is approved to use the technology, it can retain a suitable service provider to implement the technology and parallel test it if appropriate. Furthermore, the country may qualify for financial aid in whole or in part from the United States or for low-cost financing. Technologies available on the platform must be planet friendly and for use only to grow the economy or other legitimate use such improving health, life expectancy, increasing literacy, or advancing the rights or wellbeing of people in a country who are currently deprived of rights others enjoy or have a lower qualify of life than others, etc. Transfer of technology that can be used both for military and non-military purposes must include safeguards to prevent its application for military purposes.

Blockchain Technology, Vanilla Production, and Fighting Global Warming

Abstract
While most nations concur with the United Nations prediction that we face mass extinctions, flooding, and other catastrophic damage unless we reduce global warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius within the next decade, the developing nations are insisting that they should be allowed to give priority to economic growth and development over fighting global warming. Shyam Saran, an Indian policy scientist, champions this position but points out we can accomplish both the aims of development and fighting global warming by establishing a global technology platform to share planet friendly technology with the less developed nations. Many technologies could be shared in this way (e.g., making concrete in planet-friendly ways and manufacturing hydrogen-fueled trains). This article explores how the impoverished nation of Malagasy (better known as Madagascar) could grow its economy by using blockchain in the production of vanilla while also reducing the amount of carbon added to the atmosphere.
