Why do we exist? Markets are not efficient as they do not account for the full cost of the products, goods, services. The real cost is externalised to nature, vulnerable communities, future generations.
We intend to build an educational programme for impact evaluators "on the ground". Not flying fancy experts to measure CO2 / eco / bio / organic / fair trade practices, but a local person with mobile phone and a new job title "impact evaluator". Much faster, much cheaper, much more scalable. Leveraging the full spectrum of Web3 technologies, something that wasn't possible before: attestations, proof of location, reputation, dispute resolution, token engineering, incentives, game theory.
Partners we would love to see and co-create together: DeReSy, Karma GAP, Hypercerts, Gitcoin, GainForest, OpenForestProtocol, Nori, Regen Network, ReFi DAO, Koko DAO, Kokonut Network, Silvi Protocol, Let's GROW DAO, Treegens, Nature Tech Collective, Positive Blockchain, everyone else who works towards MRV (measurement, reporting, verification), impact evaluation, transparency, integrity and valuing things at their true cost.
We are collaborative, transparent, open-source, building in public, public good from the start... Your feedback, thougths, ideas matter. Connect with us:
The team behind IEF has been involved in the ecosystem for a while, as we are creating new content, here are some historical articles: carbon credit standards, offseting, recycling, energy use...
Regen 3-letter agencies are better that the old system. IEF sends words of apprecaitiogn towards CCN (Climate Coordination Network) and LGD (Lets's Grow DAO) hosting 24/7 Twitter space during GG21. Thank you for organising!
