However, they often lack the resources to take meaningful action, making them entirely dependent on the decisions of other countries.\n\nIt is estimated that an annual investment of $5 trillion is needed to combat climate change. Of this figure, emerging and developing countries (EMDEs) need $2 trillion annually, a fivefold increase from 2020 (IMF, 2023).\n\nWithout the right infrastructure to coordinate such significant budgets, EMDEs are unlikely to attract $2 trillion annually and take the required actions.\n\nLocal NGOs, businesses, and individuals in these EMDEs must be included in the solution to increase the socioeconomic support base for such action. Kolektivo allows local stakeholders to leverage their positive impact to start local impact-driven economies that regenerate communities and nature.\n\nKolektivo combines a web platform for stakeholders and a mobile app for individuals to create local impact economies based on the positive impact created.\n\nBy making the impact created more visible and streamlining the coordination of resources between stakeholders through our platform, we encourage local development. Due to the community currency created in our platform and the ability for users to earn skill badges, the pilot also supports capacity building and financial inclusion.\n\nImpact partners and local businesses can support a local Kolektivo community and, in exchange, receive a visual claim on the impact created by a specific project or niche. The positive PR effects are more significant when supporting local ESG initiatives.\n\nOur primary users are NGO managers who request community currency budgets from the local community to organize impact activities. Users earn community currencies, which they can spend at impact partners and skill points to participate in these activities.\n\nUpdates since GG20: We've completed the prototype for our Web App and ran an initial pilot of the Kolektivo Mobile app Activities in Trinidad with a group of teens participating in Regenerative Agriculture.\n\nNext steps: We aim to launch the first GeoHypercerts and attach activity contribution data to it through attestations. We'll run a second pilot in Trinidad to check the Merchant side of our mobile app. Finally, we'll push forward to have the first version of our mobile App and Web App by the start of Q4 2024.", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "Kolektivo", "projectTwitter": "Kolektivo"}
