What does the word var mean in this sentence?
The word var indicates existence. It tells us that something is present—in this case, that there is a problem.
How is the concept of doing something "together" expressed in the sentence?
The word birlikte means together. It shows that the action of solving the problem is intended to be a joint effort.
What is the structure and meaning of the verb çözmeliyiz?
Çözmeliyiz is formed from the root verb çözmek (to solve). The suffix -meli expresses necessity (meaning should or must), and the ending -yiz indicates that the subject is we. Together, it means we should/must solve.

In Turkish, verb conjugations already indicate the subject. Since çözmeliyiz ends with -yiz, which means we, it's unnecessary to state the pronoun explicitly.
