The work of the Rockefeller Foundation for the 21st Century is to enable 'smart globalization.' It attempts to harness the creative forces of globalization to ensure that the tools and technologies that have significantly improved the human condition in many parts of the world during the past half century are accessible today to more people, more fully, in more places.
Repairing weak, outmoded health systems - making modern health systems stronger, more affordable, and more accessible in poor and vulnerable communities.
Building resilience to environmental degradation and climate change - developing plans and products to protect those with the fewest means from an imperiled environment and warming global climate.
Addressing the risks of accelerating urbanization - shaping efforts in planning, finance, infrastructure, and governance to manage a world in which, for the first time in history, more people live in urban communities than rural ones.
Reweaving frayed social contracts - reinforcing American workers’ social and economic security, reimagining the regulatory framework that governs our economy, and reinvigorating the notion of citizenship.
Easing basic survival insecurities - supporting sustainable efforts to provide nutrition, water, health care, and shelter, the basic building blocks of increased labor and land productivity and economic growth.
