            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is our first post on Paragraph. Slightly more advanced "Hello World"... Copy paste insightful content from Telegram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://t.me/ImpactEval/247">https://t.me/ImpactEval/247</a></p><p>Currently TWO massive databases of Web3 climate aligned projects:</p><p>1) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://positiveblockchain.io/">https://positiveblockchain.io/</a></p><p>2) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.naturetechcollective.org/">https://www.naturetechcollective.org/</a></p><p>We are not in competition. We focus on <strong>IMPACT EVALUATION</strong>, does exactly what says on the tin.</p><p>Illustrative example: food system. Land use (opportunity cost of land, nature solution to carbon drawdown). Groundwater aquifers depletion, rivers required for hydropower. Fertilisers. Agricultural run-off (algae bloom, oxygen depletion, dead zones). Pesticides. Pollution. Transportation. Refrigeration (ozone layer). Obesity. 17% of GDP in the US is healthcare aka "sickcare". Food is the best medicine. And yet the cheeseburger in McDonalds is the the <strong><em>"cheapest, most nutritious, and bountiful food that has ever existed in human history"</em></strong></p><p><strong>SOURCE: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://freakonomics.com/2013/03/the-most-bountiful-food-in-human-history/">https://freakonomics.com/2013/03/the-most-bountiful-food-in-human-history/</a></p><p>That cheeseburger should more expensive. Free market. But markets are not efficient: lobbies, regulation, subsidies. My personal vision for IEF is to measure / report / evaluate / quantify full cost of the product goods services, especially in the context of climate and metacrisis.</p><p>As humanity: we can solve any problem (atomic bomb, man on the moon in 1969), we cannot solve all the problems all at once. Measuring the true cost, redefining value: one of the most impactful pressure points to realign civilisational prorioties. It's both political and technical, I think there is political will but no robust technology exists yet... And we are leading the pack?&nbsp;</p><p>PS. I'm personally anti-fragile...

We have a dedicated page on Notion towards <strong>Mission Vision Values Manifesto</strong> and I copy-pasted that snippet because it reflects my genuine views <em>(not outrage engagement farming):</em> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://impact-evaluation-foundation.super.site/mission-vision-values-manifesto">https://impact-evaluation-foundation.super.site/mission-vision-values-manifesto</a></p><p><em>(not the same content exists in three different places, if you find a typo consider it a purpoesful marketing strategy to get attention)</em></p>]]></content:encoded>
