On February 1, 2023, stockholders of Sustainable Development Acquisition I Corp. (the "Company") held a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting"), where the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment (the "Extension Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Charter") to extend the date by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses, which we refer to as a "business combination," (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company's Class A common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company's initial public offering that was consummated on February 4, 2021 from February 4, 2023 to August 12, 2023. The Company filed the Extension Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 2, 2023.

A copy of the Extension Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 3.1

**Exhibit 3.1**

**AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION I CORP.**

**Pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law**

**SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ACQUISITION I CORP.** (the "**Corporation**"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The name of the Corporation is Sustainable Development Acquisition I Corp. The Corporation's Certificate
of Incorporation was filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 16, 2020 (the "**Original Certificate** "). An Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware on February 4, 2021 (the "**Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. This Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation amends the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. This Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the affirmative
vote of the holders of 70.336% of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section
242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "**DGCL** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The text of Section 9.1(b) of Article IX is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

"Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Corporation in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the underwriters' over- allotment option) and certain other amounts specified in the Corporation's registration statement on Form S-1, as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") on January 15, 2021, as amended (the "**Registration Statement**"), shall be deposited in a trust account (the "**Trust Account**"), established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) not previously properly redeemed in accordance with clause (iii) below if the Corporation does not complete its initial Business Combination by August 12, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Board and (iii) the redemption of any Offering Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote seeking to amend any provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity (as described in <u>Section 9.7</u>). Holders of shares of the Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the "**Offering Shares**") (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are the Sponsor or officers or directors of the Corporation, or any affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as "**Public Stockholders**."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The text of Section 9.2(d) of Article IX is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

"In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by August 12, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Board, the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Corporation's obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The text of Section 9.7 of Article IX is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

"Additional Redemption Rights. If, in accordance with Section 9.1(a), any amendment is made to Section 9.2(d) to modify the substance or timing of the Corporation's obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination by August 12, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Board or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders' rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, the Public Stockholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares; provided, however, that any such amendment will be voided, and this Article IX will remain unchanged, if any stockholders who wish to redeem are unable to redeem due to the Redemption Limitation."

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, Sustainable Development Acquisition I Corp. has caused this Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate to be duly executed in its name and on its behalf by an authorized officer as of this day of February 2, 2023.
