We will begin with this series, but our vision and hope is that this catalyzes a movement and a research and development focus in the space on cryptoeconomic models for real world impact.\n\n\ud83c\udfa5THE GRANT WORK WILL RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING:\n-Dozens of recorded interviews with a diverse group of subject matter experts from climate action and environmental restoration, to carbon scientists, token engineers and crypto economic researchers.\n\n-A series of three 10-15 minutes documentaries:\n\nPart 1: The Posidonia Herbarium, A Pivotal Ecosystem in Peril \nEcological and economic degradation and impact told through the local lens\n\nPart 2: Reframing Posidonia and Ecosystems as Natural Capital\nIntro to Natural Capital Assets, Ecological Economics, exploration of the potential of new innovative economic models to re-align incentives using blockchain technologies\n\nPart 3: Regenerating the Reef & The Dawn of the Regenaissance\nConfronting landscape scale problems in multiple dimensions - restoration techniques, new economic models as patterns, their potential in reversing feedback loops and aligning economy with ecology\n\n-Sponsor/granting organization logo in all film credits and on all marketing materials and press releases\n-Creation of a website\n-Press release distribution to hundreds of international journalists\n-Submissions to documentary film festivals i.e. Cannes, EkoFilm, Innsbruck Nature Film Festival \n-Documentary series screenings at #ReFi & Climate action events, and launch events in Hy\u00e8res-les-Palmiers, Marseille, Lisbon and Berlin\n-Series distribution on several platforms; our key advisor is a documentary filmmaker whose work has appeared on Netflix (see team section).\n\n\ud83d\udc65 AUDIENCE\nWhile this documentary series is focused on Web3 builders and researchers, our aim is to touch and connect a public that stretches beyond the traditional and well-informed crypto-savvy audience and crosses many areas of disciplinary study. Our intended audience also includes government and non-governmental organizations in Europe and around the globe, scientists and engineers, and social and environmental activists across ecology, economics, climate change, and tech.\n\n\n\ud83e\udd1d\u200b THE TEAM\n\nLouise Borreani is a writer and researcher at Curve Labs, where she published extensive research on natural capital assets and the tokenomics for seagrass restoration.
