What’s inside?
Inspired by The World Book Encyclopedia’s thorough and understandable (and easily search-able!) format, The Hopeful Encyclopedia plans to organize community-sourced solutions to the world’s greatest crises by area of impact (e.g. democracy, economy, education). Community submissions will be cited as examples and evidence of the work being done to solve our greatest concerns for other decision-makers to find. But first, it starts with a dataset.
