The Global Solutions Initiative seeks to develop ideas for more effective balancing of political and economic actions with social progress and environmental sustainability. They wish to honor and reward youth-led projects and efforts from all over the world that represent this recoupling-approach through the Young Global Changers Recoupling Awards.

Projects must be developed beyond the concept stage and may involve both nonprofit and social commercial ventures.
