Recently Added / Worth Tracking on World Issue Tracker
- Automatic translation for cross-language collaboration — Translate issues, comments, and descriptions into each user's preferred language so multilingual participants can collaborate across Chinese, English, and other languages.
- Educational equity + personalized learning — The one-teacher/thirty-students model amplifies inequality; personalized learning should become broadly accessible rather than a luxury.
- AI in agricultural intelligent breeding — Apply AI to genomic analysis and breeding decisions to shorten breeding cycles, improve trait prediction, and support food security.
- Better relationship matching — Current dating apps create high effort and low compatibility outcomes; explore deeper compatibility frameworks, AI-assisted matching, and evidence-based relationship science.
- Feishu/Lark account incompatibility — Cross-border US-China collaboration is blocked when Lark and Feishu accounts cannot join the same meetings, and Feishu requires a Chinese phone number.
- AI-native education — Redesign the learning loop around personalized diagnosis, scientific training, continuous feedback, and measurable capability growth rather than bolting AI onto traditional teaching.
- Task communication is too noisy — Important points get buried in low-value task messages; needs summaries, decision logs, filtering, and better collaboration norms.
- Micro credit platform — Scalable financing / micro-credit direction.
- Biodiversity data platform — Aggregate, standardize, and share biodiversity data globally for conservation, research, policy, and local communities.
- Build active AI literacy — Help non-technical users work actively with AI instead of passively consuming outputs and losing core skills.
Earlier Global-Solutions Issues
- Interlocking polycrisis — ecological collapse, unchecked AI/tech acceleration, social fragmentation, and geopolitical instability should be handled together.

- Indigenous nomadic knowledge — preserve and value pastoral-nomadic knowledge for ecological survival.
- WASH access — address global gaps in clean water and sanitation access.
- Youth + Global South governance — increase representation in global decision-making forums.
- Climate migration / nomadic mobility — support resilience as grassland degradation and dzud disasters force pastoral communities to move.
- Mongolia grassland desertification — climate change and desertification threaten Mongolia's pastoralists.
