This week at Welcome Change, we're speaking with Andres M Rubiano, a neurosurgeon and Ashoka Fellow who's transforming emergency trauma care in Colombia -- bringing life-saving treatment to vulnerable communities where resources are scarce and every second counts. We'll also explore a bigger picture: the growing connection between human health and nature. How is nature inspiring new therapies? And why does caring for people increasingly mean caring for the ecosystems that sustain us? Speaking with Andrés will be Ana Sáenz de Miera a global Ashoka Leadership Group Member joining from Madrid. This conversation will be 30 minutes and in English.

🌳 As part of our participation at #COP30 in the Amazon, Brazil, we are proud to launch a new publication highlighting climate solutions aligned with the six pillars of the Conference: energy transition, ecosystem stewardship, food systems, urban resilience, human and social development, and cross-cutting enablers. This COP has been special, marked by the massive participation of civil society and social movements. While negotiations wrap up and key topics emerge as urgent, we at Ashoka have been observing something essential: the world already has many of the solutions it needs — and they come from leading social entrepreneurs and those experiencing the consequences of climate change in their everyday lives. This publication is designed to meet the moment. It offers policymakers, investors, and civil society leaders a curated portfolio of solutions that are already delivering impact at scale. This is a collaboration between the following teams: Ashoka Brasil, Ashoka People & Planet, and Ashoka Changemakers https://lnkd.in/eby97Bhh

When Türkiye faced agricultural risk and uncertainty, Ashoka Fellow Tanfer Dinler stepped in to create a multi‑stakeholder insurance model that brings together farmers, the government, and insurers in a shared risk pool. This approach has empowered tens of thousands of farmers to manage risk proactively, not just through payouts, but by building shared resilience. For insurers, his work shows the potential of purpose-driven insurance: you can protect livelihoods and cultivate new markets rooted in trust. At Changemaker Companies, we're partnering with insurance companies who want to unlock new business opportunities, strengthen communities, and build the adaptability needed to navigate an era of polycrises.

Next year, Christiana's organization, Statefree, plans to launch a prototype for the first digital validation process for stateless persons in Germany and the EU.
