The Future is Collective Advancing Collective Social Innovation to Address Societys Biggest Challenges 2025

The Amazon Sacred Headwaters Alliance (ASHA) is an Indigenous-led coalition that brings together 30 Indigenous nations representing 700,000 Indigenous People residing in the headwaters of the Amazon River. Prior to ASHA’s formation, these nations were fragmented by national borders and exploitation by multinational companies. This initiative marks the first time in history that such a large number of Indigenous nations have come together for a single cause. ASHA conducts regeneration and reforestation projects, advocacy against extractive industries, legal action in support of Indigenous sovereignty, and education to promote economic activities and environmental leadership. ASHA and its constituencies are currently in the process of enacting its Bioregional Plan, which calls for a series of pathways that will protect the Amazon as a vital organ of the planet’s biosphere. Community Solutions is a non-profit organization leading the Built for Zero network to create a lasting end to homelessness. The organization works with communities to go beyond managing homelessness to solving the problem, ensuring that when people do experience homelessness, it is rare, brief and non-recurring. To realize this vision, communities within the Built for Zero network follow a shared methodology towards ending homelessness in their place-based communities. Community Solutions’ network currently includes 142 communities in the USA and 103 international communities in five countries. Since 2011, 44 communities have measurably reduced homelessness, and 15 communities have made homelessness rare and brief for veterans and/or individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.Year founded: Headquartered: Regions represented:Groups assembled: Organizations involved: Constituents represented:Amazon Sacred Headwaters Alliance Protecting 86 million acres of bio-culturally rich rainforests on behalf of the planet Community Solutions Creating a future in which homelessness is solvable, not inevitable 2 017 86 million acres across Ecuador and PeruEcuador30 Indigenous nations 28 member organizations of which 25 are Indigenous-led 700,000 Indigenous People residing in the bioregion Year founded: Headquartered: Regions represented: Groups assembled: Organizations involved: Constituents represented: 2 011 New York, New York, USA USA, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, UK142 communities in the USA; 103 international communities in five countries Approximately 3,800 organizations (communities assemble 5-30 organizations each) Communities each represent hundreds of clients, staff, board members, funders and volunteers The Future is Collective: Advancing Collective Social Innovation to Address Society’s Biggest Challenges 18
