Please describe your proposed solution.
The Goal of Revamping Sustainable ADA is to onboard more people into the blockchain space by showing them the advantages it can have on creating a positive impact across the globe. With this goal, we will create more educational content and educational experiences to make Sustainable ADA the go-to place to receive education on the connection blockchain technology and web3 has to sustainability, regeneration and equitable outcomes.
Through the revamp we will be focused on onboarding more community members and contributors. Creating a simple onboarding process and having a place for these community members to collaborate. We plan to launch a community contributor fund to create a budget to pay community members for contributing and adding more educational value.
All onboarding efforts and material for Sustainable ADA will also be used for the Impact Web3 ecosystem. Helping educate all Impact evaluators, investors, and impact warriors. We will make sure all the NGOs and Impact associations onboarded to Proof of Impact Platform (PIP) have the requisite knowledge to navigate the blockchain and web3 ecosystem.
Sustainable ADA has a strong track record in the Cardano and web3 ecosystem. Through their past work they have onboarded contributors from around the world and made their platform multi-lingual to be accessible to more people across the globe. Sustainable ADA is a leader in the space in sustainable blockchain education and a testament of this is shown by their work creating the Cardano Impact Report 2023.

Sustainable ADA plans to process and enhance the educational opportunities available for the Cardano community and beyond, so they can attract and engage more users to join the Cardano community, and retain a community to help grow the Cardano4Good ecosystem.
Sustainable ADA will continue to focus on all the key language groups within the Cardano ecosystem and will leverage their strong partnerships with various community leaders in the ecosystem to help onboard more contributors and learners from each language group and all walks of life.
We aim to enhance our storytelling efforts and have more stories written by community members in their native language. In the long term we still have the goal of having at least one person representing each country in the world, and talking about their connection with Cardano, blockchain, and sustainability.
We plan to provide resources for educators and activists to confidently introduce blockchain technology into people’s lives; highlighting the advantages and potential to positively impact their own lives, with ripple effects that create meaningful impacts within the broader community.
We will connect within our networks to expand our international team of contributors, finding a person from each language group within Cardano’s ecosystem, to continue to grow our grassroots led, diverse, inclusive, multilingual, multicultural, sustainability news and education hub.
Sustainable ADA will be focusing on all the language groups within the Cardano ecosystem, aiming to get a story written by a writer, at least one person representing each country in the world, and talking about their connection with Cardano, blockchain, and sustainability.
Through this process, we plan to partner with universities and university societies that align with common goals (e.g. blockchain, sustainability, digital skills)and educational institutions so we can onboard more youth and lifelong learners. We are already in talks with partners Pagoda Projects who have provided us with interns, and also Cambridge Consulting Network.
We will be focusing also on SPOs as they are a group currently lacking widespread storytelling and coverage about their experiences and contributions to the ecosystem. We will work with the CNC Alliance to help promote the pools in the ecosystem running on renewable energy or making a positive impact on chain and in the world. We plan to have an article/interview with the major alliances and their members inviting them to our weekly Cardano for Good X spaces to help increase the numbers of informed delegators, and ADA holder engagement in the wider ecosystem.
<u>Our Impact, Feasibility, & Audibility</u>
Impact: we will be creating a global impact by educating and onboarding new and existing stakeholders deeper into the community with storytelling and specific community participation engagement.
Feasibility: We have global links and a globally diverse, multichain community that is supportive and open! Through our various partnerships, we will be able to reach the global audience we expect.
<u>Our Partnerships:</u>
If someone can physically visit all the countries in the world at least once, then our proposal is achievable as we are committed and engaged!
We have developed relationships with expert storytellers and community changemakers and have begun onboarding them into the Cardano ecosystem:

It is within this context that the intersection of values, blockchain technology, and positive impact emerges as a promising avenue for change.If you need a “potion” of hope and inspiration through "Proof of Real-Life Projects", I invite you to enjoy the Cardano Impact Report by the amazing Sustainable ADA”. - Dr Mihaela Ulieru, Blockchain Pioneer, President at IMPACT Institute, World Economic Forum Expert and Chief AI Alchemist at SingularityNet
“Get on the right side of history with Razali and read this book” - Jackie Driver OBE, Programmes Principal - Equality and Human Rights Commission
“Congratulations! This was a long time in the making and what you delivered is an outstanding achievement.” - Thorsten Pottebaum, Cybersecurity Audit Program Manager - Siemens Healthineers
“This is a serious piece of work. Awesome work Sustainable ADA team. Crypto has a lot to learn from this.” - Sean Lynch, Founder - Open Litter Map, TEDX Speaker.

The Cardano community commitment to sustainability, social impact, governance, and innovation. It exemplifies the potential of blockchain technology in fostering transparency, traceability, and trust, ultimately leading to meaningful change” - Dr Mihaela Ulieru
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
With the idea brewing for years, taking shape since 2021, during 2023 Sustainable ADA undertook a great journey in creating the very first Cardano Impact Report 2023 “Recalibrating Value, Identity & Impact Through the Blockchain”.
We propose to create another edition. The Cardano Impact Report 2024. A comprehensive publication that aims to capture and showcase the positive impact generated by the Cardano community, and especially the unsung heroes who deserve a spotlight.
<u>Who will benefit?</u>
“For those who are not in the Cardano community, this report is not just about Cardano. This is about an awakening to the wider global issues we face today, and a clear call to action, that our time has come to address these issues, head on. The report offers a path forward towards a sustainable and equitable future. By engaging with the innovative projects and initiatives presented here, you can also contribute to positive change and find solutions to the complex issues that burden our world, and at a minimum get inspiration to create your own projects, wherever you are in the world, and you can count on our community to guide you.” - Dr Mihaela Ulieru, Blockchain Pioneer, President at IMPACT Institute, World Economic Forum Expert and Chief AI Alchemist at SingularityNet
<u>What is it?</u>
The Cardano Impact Report is a comprehensive publication that aims to capture and showcase the positive impact generated by the Cardano community. It is designed as a book NFT (Non-Fungible Token) to leverage the unique features of blockchain technology, ensuring authenticity, transparency, and immutability of the content.
The 2024 edition will showcase art and original pieces from the Cardano4Good, web3 and impact community, and integrate the CIP-68 datum metadata standard to facilitate our plans to have dynamic NFTs.
<u>Why it's important for Cardano, the community, and beyond?</u>
Some may say that today, we live in both, the best of times and the worst of times.
With forest fires recently in Canada, protests against injustice in Paris, and the planet heating up to unprecedented levels…the world is on fire.
Scientists have warned of worsening global warming.
The Earth is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent.
According to the United Nations, we are in a “code red for humanity.
BUT, it’s not all doom and gloom, and there are solutions that exist today.
