A lot of social change talk revolves around diagnosing the problems. While this is a very important part of innovation and collaboration, it’s not what we do. Instead, we dig into what’s working and what practitioners are learning, taking a deep dive into insights around social entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and scaling innovations. And every month, we write a newsletter gathering up the big takeaways. Some highlights from the most recent edition: ‼️ “No risk doesn’t exist!” - Fabiola Zerbini of Conexsus - Instituto Conexões Sustentáveis exclaimed this during the discussion on how to rethink risk in climate collaboration and funding. 🤯 “I’m tired of talking about the concept. We need to talk about the reality we can present as an Indigenous community. We need to start counting in reality how Indigenous communities contribute.” - Bustar Maitar of EcoNusa Foundation, Indonesia on recognizing what Indigenous communities are doing. 🇮🇩 “We often want to copy European or US models. How can we share more lessons from Indonesia?” - Daniel Nardin of Amazônia Vox on understanding that the West isn’t the only region that has found success, and highlighting contributions from others that align closer to shared realities. Each of these came from the Advancing Climate Action through Solutions Storytelling event we hosted during #SkollWF where global leaders in climate action discussed how to better understand how partnerships can support investments and growth demand in two key climate regions: the Amazon and Indonesia. To get more like this from innovators around the world, sign up for the Solutions Insights Lab newsletter. We’ll deliver deep dives into recent conversations, information on upcoming events, spotlights on some of our most interesting and informative interviews, and more.
