Skoll | Rethinking Possible
Today’s complex, entrenched, and intertwined problems demand unconventional solutions.
Rethinking Possible features interviews with people who are dealing with big, global problems that are entrenched, complex, messy, and always urgent. But none of that stops them. They’ve rolled up their sleeves and gotten straight to work.
The Amazon jungle is a delicate ecosystem responsible for capturing around 600 million tons CO2 per year. But that system is under attack.

Systemic injustices, discrimination, and lack of civic engagement have created a pressing challenge for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs): underrepresentation in positions of power.

Racial equality is vital not only to social progress but also economic recovery. However, the path for peace and prosperity for all means solving entrenched, complex, and messy issues. Watch to learn more about the initiatives for entrepreneurs within marginalized communities that support building wealth and a truly inclusive economy.
Rethinking Possible’s companion podcast is a radically honest and fresh conversation about how transformational social change actually gets made and who makes it. Hosted by Courtney E. Martin and Nguhi Mwaura, and brought to you by the Skoll Foundation in partnership with Aspen Ideas.
The Skoll Foundation presents the Skoll Awards for Social Innovation each year to a select group of social innovators whose work targets the root causes of societal problems that are ripe for transformational social change.
