Set of 3 titles
There is no shortage of ideas for how to solve big societal problems, but disagreement is seemingly endless when it comes to deciding which solutions will work, whether they will cause more or different problems down the road, and even whether they should ever be attempted. The goal of the Exploring Solutions series is to examine some of the most interesting, most prominent, and most innovative solutions to seemingly intractable societal problems. Books in the series explore the rationale behind these ideas, their strengths, their weaknesses, and where they might lead.

Exploring Solutions - School Library Journal
Gr 6 Up–Some societal problems seem insurmountable. This series examines a few such problems and explores potential solutions. Each book begins with an analysis of the topic and the damage it causes to individuals and society, including examples in recent history. A number of solutions are offered, such as using AI to combat the spread of misinformation or switching to renewable energy to fight climate change. But the downside to each solution is also thoroughly laid out. Readers are left with the opportunity to compare the intent of the plan versus weaknesses. Large images break up the text and brightly colored text boxes feature quotes and extra information. Source notes and additional resources are included.
VERDICT Well-considered and laid out, this series provides helpful research material.
