Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 92 - ImpactScope - Supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals with Web3 solutions
In episode 92, we’re excited to welcome Rafaella Orelli, Madhuri Rahman, and Susana González from ImpactScope, a Web3 startup dedicated to helping organizations deploy web3 tools to measure, verify and amplify their impact. We discuss how Web3 tools can help NGOs and social enterprises achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Proof of Impact NFTs, some compelling use cases for social enterprises that are skeptical of Web3, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
A lot has change since the introduction of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, and new tools and technologies are needed to help NGOs achieve the goals and verify their impact.
Proof of impact NFTs provide an innovative way for NGOs to track, verify, and share their impact, and to use this transparent impact to drive fundraising efforts.
Web3 is a force for inclusion and empowerment, giving individuals the tools and agency to enact real change in ways that weren’t possible before.
