Please give information about the key objectives of your initiative in terms of sustainability and how these have been/will be met. Please highlight how the initiative can be exemplary in this context.
Industrial hemp is super effective both for Climate and Energy topics, yet boldly underutilized. It needs to become mainstream to help humanity re-balance Earth's carbon cycle. Building hempcreteyurts will create living symbols of this initiative globally.

Please give information about the key objectives of your initiative in terms of aesthetics and quality of experience for people (through design, positive emotions and cultural benefits) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the initiative can be exemplary in this context.
Hempcrete locks CO2 in the building walls and allows the building industry to higly reduce CO2 emissions, also by reducing energy to heat/cool buildings. Walls also allow new means of finishing from plasterint to paints and tile alternatives such as tadelakt.

Please give information about the key objectives of your initiative in terms of inclusion (ranging from accessibility and affordability for all to inclusive governing systems, design for all principles or new societal models) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the initiative can be exemplary in this context.
Hempcreteyurts will be shared via voluntary biulding opportinities, and shared to enable everybody to learn and build their hemp buildings - so we all can contribute to building a healthier Planet.

Please explain the way citizens benefiting from or affected by the initiative and civil society have been/will be involved in the initiative and what has been/will be the impact of this involvement on the initiative
Everyone building with hemp will be able to reduce home running costs, energy and thereby CO2 emissions. Plus lock more CO2 in the buildings. I also intend to work out a scheme to provide carbon credits to hempcrete builders

Please explain how different stakeholders at various levels (local, regional, national, European) were engaged in the design and implementation of the initiative.
I have been messaging about this initiative to many people globally. It is a very personal note that both my granddads have lost their first wife and a baby. Hempcreteyurt became my heart's cause when my family separated and I pursue it to leave a healthier Planet to next generations.

Please explain which disciplines and/ or knowledge fields were reflected in the design and implementation of your initiative. Please explain how representatives of these different fields interacted with each other, and what the added value of this process was
In progress: initiative involves farming, machinery production, shared use and maintenance, building and energy industries, carbon credits/finance, etc

Please highlight the innovative character of the initiative, when compared to mainstream actions in the field of the initiative
Symbols drive change. Circles stand for collaboration. Participation and action is key for impact. Hempcreteyirt is all this shared across the globe from the old Continent.

Please describe which elements of your initiative could be replicated or transferred to other places, groups of beneficiaries and contexts. This may involve, for example, aspects of the methodology, technology, processes, products, learnings, etc.
We will work as a community sharing our work for the benefit of all - and Planet. This includes cross-industrial best practices, youth building camps so children get a feeling of playfully building shelters.

Please describe the methodology or approach used in your initiative.
I intend focusing on building and purchasing industrial hemp shives from a small radius circle farmer. Aim reducing concrete use for base to minimize CO2.Then a wooden structure and hempcrete walls. For details pls see the Gallery on https://hempcreteyurt.com

Please explain what kind of global challenges the initiative addresses by providing local solutions
Climate actions best driven locally by individuals and communities across the globe. Building best insulated natural homes. The third millennia might re-invent the wheel in hempcreteyurts?

Please detail the scope of progress in the implementation of the initiative. This can include already demonstrated results/outputs related to the chosen Prizes category, and the already achieved benefits from the initiative for direct and indirect beneficiaries. This can also include a development plan of the initiative, with a particular attention to the steps envisaged in the year following the application, and including envisaged results and benefits from the initiative
Hempcreteyurt was nominated to XPRIZE Carbon Removal. The idea needs funding to lead the change. And build a healthy home to my child, as i gave all in to this idea - and ended up pushing this collaboration.

Please provide documents that demonstrate the maturity level of the initiative and commitment to implement the initiative in practice (e.g.: evaluation report, final or mid-term initiative report, certification, publications, building permit, grant agreement, letter of support, partnership agreement, etc.)
