Many of us get into the fields of conservation, sustainable development, or similar "do-gooder" fields because we want to make a contribution to the world. But it doesn’t take long to realize that some of our most important problems to tackle are some of the hardest to solve. These wicked problems — like poverty, climate change, racism, and many others — are maddeningly complex and resistant to many of our best efforts.

This episode of the Changemakers’ Field Guide kicks off a series looking at these kinds of complex problems — and what we might learn from multiple traditions and perspectives on how to navigate complexity.
