Repository of problems worth solving
World Solve is a public institutional repository for identifying real unresolved problems across science, society, health, governance, economics, and local systems. Each entry is intended to be citable, inspectable, and actionable.
Publicly citable
Every problem has a stable citation code for reference and discussion.
Filtered by relevance
Search by category, geography, status, and keywords.
Builder-oriented
Use the repository to find startup ideas, policy leads, and research agendas.

reconstruction money being stolen remains one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Systems currently in place are inadequate for the scale and complexity of the problem. A successful approach must work where resources are scarcest and demonstrate clear, measurable results. It should identify possible harms, respect local agency, and show how the solution can be maintained and expanded by the communities it is meant to serve.

Interactive reconstructions of dead relatives may demand ongoing inclusion in gatherings, decisions, and emotional life. The problem is setting boundaries that respect both the living family’s autonomy and any residual rights or wishes of the deceased without forcing perpetual digital presence.

Old ice archives can extend climate reconstructions, but drilling and analysis are costly and complex. Improved drilling technology and coordinated core-analysis programmes can unlock more data.

Reconstruction problems in geometry ask how much partial information is truly enough to rebuild a full shape with certainty, and general limits for all shape classes remain incompletely understood. This connects pure mathematics to practical fields like imaging and tomography.
