Making the World Work Better for All People, Animals, & the Planet
WHO WE ARE
Building on the principles of engagement, reliability, and sustainability, Cardano4Climate has grown into a global community of over 300 members.* We have a growing team of core members.
*[270 members on Telegram & 370 members on Discord]
WHAT WE DO
In the past 10 months, C4C has grown around passion and a shared mission. Emerging from our social media channels, weekly meetings, monthly events, website, YouTube channel, & outreach both inside & outside of Catalyst is
a community hub of
- Support for the collaborative development of well-defined proposals through feedback, knowledge, & resource sharing related to climate change issues & mitigation, as well as the processes defined by Catalyst
- Moderated discussions to empower individuals to engage in climate change dialogues and actions
- Connections to experts & teams within the Cardano & Catalyst Community: Swarm, Catalyst School, Climate Neutral Cardano SPOs, the Cardano Foundation & the IOG Impact team.
- Resources and a growing list of domain experts.
an online, global meeting place & time to
- Connect, collaborate, contribute, listen, learn, absorb & recharge.
- Bridge outside communities affected by climate change to applications on the Cardano blockchain
- Educate & promote sustainable solutions through adaptation and mitigation options.
- Explore ways to bridge knowledge gaps.
- Offer continuous support & advice related to Project Catalyst processes.
- Collaborate with other community hubs throughout Project Catalyst.
to reach the highest in human collaboration to address humanity's greatest challenge: Climate Change

WHY WE DO IT
By combining the evolving blockchain technology of Cardano with solutions and models for climate change action, we will make the needed impact, now and for decades to come. Together, we have the ability to stop the downhill degradation and harm to the planet and bring about regeneration as the social and economic foundation for current and future generations.
This is a unique opportunity for Cardano to continue to be the blockchain that makes the world work better for all: all people, animals, and the living planet. We will have an essential impact and economic opportunities for onboarding global industries such as agriculture supply chains, green energy, inclusive finance, Carbon markets, circle economy, food tech, and more. These are all crucial initiatives for developing countries. .
Current & Proposed Solution:
Currently, the Asian community is impacted by climate change. Depleted and limited resources are not enough to sustain the growing population. Legacy systems are failing or have failed. A local hub in the local time zone, languages, and cultures is crucial to coordinate and support regenerative and sustainable initiatives, build community teams and enrich the Cardano and Catalyst ecosystems with Asian wisdom.
The Cardano4Climate HUB is motivated by the language of the heart: purpose. The citizens of this culture are localized to the environment & systems in which they live, while being aware of the global impact of Climate Change. It is both the problems creating Climate Change & the ground-up solutions to mitigate it, that have drawn us together into a global community of many tongues, heads, hearts, & hands that reach into every corner of the globe. Cardano4Climate opens a space to speak our heart languages & gives a collective voice to this purpose through our social media channels, meetings, and events.
Target demographic:
The Catalyst community, individuals representing funded proposals and those applying for funding, non-government organizations & Asian communities outside the Cardano network affected by &/or working to mitigate climate change.
While the problems are global the people's activities are local. Cardano4Climate is a global community composed of local hubs & activities that supports local communities and local solutions.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
The challenge asks the question: How do we prepare Asia for a future of wide-scale Cardano adoption? How do we continue to seed and grow adoption in 2022 and beyond?
And then continue with why it is important: We need to look at the fundamentals that are preventing Asia from being a Cardano adoption leader, rather than a perpetual follower.
This is exactly why having a local hub will support those objectives. Supporting Dapps for Agriculture supply chains, green energy, and construction, nature conservation efforts, and financial inclusions are all needed. Make sure resources are getting to the ground and having a real measurable impact.
Cardano should be a leading force in working on those issues and having a centralized hub will help to promote internal and external organizations.
The challenge asks the question: How do we prepare Asia for a future of wide-scale Cardano adoption? How do we continue to seed and grow adoption in 2022 and beyond?
To be a leading blockchain in Asia, Cardano must take the lead in developing solutions to problems that threaten the health and well-being of the Asian community: to make the world work better for all. A centralized community hub will connect blockchain Dapps and technology to local agriculture supply chains, green energy, construction, nature conservation, and financial inclusion. Traceability of resources and real, measurable impact will be promoted to both internal and external organizations.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
Challenge 1: The problem is so overwhelming we feel powerless and do not know where to begin. Through a local hub we will identify key areas, prioritize them and support them through the global hub
Challenge 2: Asia is large and has diverse cultures, languages and localized issues. We start in the East Asia Townhall where Cardano-related work is already in progress. Our efforts to make the world work better for all people, animals and the planet will be complementary and more effective through collaboration.
