Welcome to Proof of Change, Change.Gallery’s podcast hosted by Ash Cooper Kerns.

In this story, David All and Meera Chakravarthy of Change.Gallery join Ash in a conversation about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, or UN SDGs. This conversation was recorded live on a weekly Twitter Space; follow @changegallery on Twitter to experience future stories live.

The United Nations, an international organization dedicated to finding shared solutions for humanity, adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. These goals aim to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030.

At Change.Gallery, we believe in the power of art to address the SDGs and create measurable social impact, and specifically focus on building leading edge Web3 technology to enhance the capabilities of artists and changemakers in contributing to these goals.

In an exciting technical development, version 1.1 of our product, which is being released this month, takes a critical step forward by incorporating UN SDGs on-chain as a fundamental part of every Changemaker project.

By utilizing Web3 technology, NFT projects aimed at social impact include a UN SDG classification in both on-chain data in the Ethereum public blockchain and as metadata stored in decentralized storage on IPFS. This ensures real-time accessibility of information to stakeholders without the need for intermediaries.
