Bio

Cole Bartlett is passionate about helping create a sustainable and equitable world for all. He cares about education and helping create clarity around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) connection to blockchain. He gained this passion from a love of the outdoors while growing up in Vermont, and his studies at the University of New Hampshire where he received a bachelor's degree in Economics and a dual major in Sustainability. He is currently working on a project called Sustainable ADA where they are focused on helping connect blockchain technology to sustainability, specifically the Cardano blockchain.

While participating in the Sustainability Dual Major he found this strong interest and passion for sustainability and making sustainable change. Part of this was from his experiences studying abroad in New Zealand through the Eco-quest educational center where he was focused on ecology and sustainability. After this experience, Cole continued through the Sustainability Dual Major, where he participated in a capstone. He helped educate children based in New Hampshire on what sustainability is, and was the kick start of the sustainability splash program at UNH. Another opportunity where Cole found a strong connection was while taking part in the B impact clinic. The Clinic connects teams of cross-discipline undergraduate students to serve as consultants for regional companies working to complete the B Impact Assessment (BIA). The BIA is a rigorous, open-access assessment tool that comprehensively assesses a company's impact.

After spending time working in the blockchain space. He has learned and come back to the realization that education is one of the key aspects of life. That you should never stop learning or trying to learn new things. "We are on an educational journey for life that is constantly evolving and shifting." This has helped Cole find a new passion and love to continue to learn new things and to take every experience or learning opportunity possible.

He is currently focused on helping make Cardano a blockchain for impact. This is through education and his focus on blockchain research. Working to further develop this research into tools to help track and trace the impact of business, including bringing more impact investing opportunities to the web3 space.

We are on track and happy that the tool was integrated and in usage during submissions for Fund 8. Having researched the number of Fund 7 proposals connected to the SDGs we are pleased to say that the availability of the SDG Proposer Tool has helped with education and awareness-raising for proposers to connect their projects to impact and communicate this in their proposals, using the UN SDG framework.
