In an announcement on Keybase that was quickly deleted, the World Bank Climate Warehouse observer node that was announced last month is up and live. You can check it out here. There is also quite a bit of information available at the link posted in the announcement about how the system works.
The observer node is the part of the Climate Blockchain system that will be used to allow people to check out the carbon market without running their own complete infrastructure. The github links are still set to private as of this writing, so we cannot see under the hood yet, but they are here for when they go live:

This is very exciting, and is exactly the kind of growth Chia Network has been focused on executing over the last little while. It appears that they are successfully executing on those plans. There is also a VERY comprehensive whitepaper about the project linked, which I will include in its entirety below.
Right now there is only a single test project in the warehouse so it is hard to see how well it work for the participants. But based on the progress being made I think we will know fairly soon. I do not think this is Project Asteroids, so I think there is at least one more big announcement coming soon.

The deafening silence of the Chia Network is incredibly frightening.
why frightening?

That’s not the official Chia channel, its a blog that has mostly not been updated in a year.
Please, what would be the official channel?

There is always a calm before the storm 😉 Chia is one of the most undervalued projects I have seen. But the biggest quality project that focuses on something feasible to be delivered that will really help the world and the people! Look where we are in such a short term. All the negative vibe comes mainly from people who think they can get rich quickly without any effort. I did shutdown my bitcoin farm early 2014 because of the electricity costs being higher as the short term return. That decision I still regret as of today :-). Would I ever shutdown my chia farm? Never as Chia fixed al the negative bitcoin aspects. Just don’t invest money that you can’t lose expecting quick profits. See it as a long term investment that saves us from climate change and gives the power back to the people.
