The Global Solutions Alliance
Vision and Purpose
The Global Solutions Alliance (GSA) is an international nonprofit organization (based in the USA) composed of individual and organizational stakeholders aligned around a commitment to collective impact and creating holistic models to inspire and inform action. Through comprehensive, scientific data-driven tools collaboratively designed for use by policy makers, investors, NGOs and other on-the-ground decision-makers, change agents will be able to accelerate their work to solve global warming and secure reliable prosperity for communities in mutually beneficial relationships with the natural environment.
The GSA originated from the recognition that cooperation and collaboration in a system are integral to creating conditions for life to thrive. Rather than reinventing the wheel, which only stagnates implementation, leads to confusion, and slows progress, the GSA is an evolving ecosystem of partners that are committed to working together in mutually beneficial ways that support the emergence of regenerative economic and social systems. Addressing the global emergencies of warming, climate chaos, ecocide and species extinction requires humanity to move beyond siloed-thinking and work in-parallel towards a future that benefits all.
Our collective work always begins with rigorous research and analysis to identify the most impactful systemic solutions benefitting people and the planet. The GSA ecosystem of organizations, researchers, and contributors work together to create and maintain a solutions-orientated knowledge commons and accompanying tools hosted on the Solutions Collaboratory (‘Collaboratory’): a free and open source digital public good designed by and for the planet’s solutionists.
The Collaboratory serves as an open, objective, independent platform and community bringing the best available information and data to the fingertips of global change agents implementing solutions to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, poverty and hunger, gender inequality, health and well-being, and regenerative economic growth.
The goals of GSA are to:
Educate and inspire current and future leaders about the existing solutions readily available by enhancing and applying systemic, science-driven assessments of solutions in different relevant biophysical and socioeconomic contexts;
Develop tools and gather data for assessing feasibility and impact as well as optimizing adoption of solutions; and
Document and distribute the current status, adoption and effective implementation of solutions at local, regional and global scales.
