DESCRIPTION:Climate change and environmental degradation demand new approac
 hes for large-scale\, continuous\, and intelligent sensing of natural ecos
 ystems. The Internet of Trees proposes a distributed infrastructure where 
 smart environmental probes deployed in forest environments become active n
 odes in a real-time environmental intelligence network—requiring computi
 ng platforms that are low-power\, secure\, adaptable\, and affordable.\n\n
 RISC-V offers a powerful foundation for next-generation environmental sens
 ing systems. As an open-source ISA\, it enables technological flexibility\
 , design transparency\, and long-term digital sovereignty\, while allowing
  customized processors tailored to edge AI\, wireless sensor networks\, se
 cure communication\, and ultra-low-power operation. These features are esp
 ecially critical for climate-oriented deployments in remote\, resource-con
 strained environments.\n\nThis keynote presents the Internet of Trees as a
  case study for the strategic use of open-source microprocessor technology
 \, discussing how RISC-V supports distributed sensing\, local data process
 ing\, trusted operation\, and scalable integration with cloud-based enviro
 nmental platforms. Beyond technical efficiency\, open microprocessor ecosy
 stems can strengthen local innovation and sustainable semiconductor capaci
 ty—making RISC-V not merely a processor architecture\, but an instrument
  for building resilient\, sovereign infrastructures for planetary monitori
 ng.\n\nThe Internet of Trees illustrates how open silicon can connect sust
 ainability\, intelligence\, and environmental stewardship\, a perspective 
 particularly relevant for emerging economies seeking both climate action a
 nd technological autonomy. The convergence of open hardware and environmen
 tal intelligence may define a new class of digital infrastructure for the 
 living world.\n\nRISC-V can be one of its most important enabling technolo
 gies.
