Over the past 11 years we have developed a unique angle on tackling the challenges and also have access to the global community of 27 thousand problem solvers. The below defined 11 problems (or rather domains of significant sustainability challenges) are interconnected and therefore can be hardly narrowly defined.

Within each of them, there is focus on what kind of impact the solutions will have on education, innovation, startups, jobs generation, services, poverty eradication, or even other pressing problems such as solving the war conflicts and other societal and economic implications.

Grazing land footprint measures the demand for grazing land to raise livestock for meat, dairy, leather and wool products.

Forest product footprint measures the demand for forests to provide fuel wood, pulp and timber products.

Fishing grounds footprint measures the demand for marine and inland water ecosystems needed to restock the harvested seafood and support aquaculture.

Cropland footprint measures the demand for land for food and fiber, feed for livestock, oil crops and rubber.

Built-up land footprint measures the demand for biologically productive areas covered by infrastructure, including roads, housing and industrial structures.

Water footprint is the total volume of fresh water used, directly and indirectly, to produce goods and services consumed by an individual, community, or business.

Carbon footprint measures carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning and cement production. These emissions are converted into forest areas needed to sequester the emissions not absorbed by oceans. It accounts for forests’ varying rates of carbon sequestration depending on the degree of human management, the type and age of forests, emissions from forest wildfires and soil build-up and loss.
