The Global Governance Challenge

Global Challenges Are Connected. Responses Often Are Not.

Climate, technology, conflict, migration, public health, development and economic uncertainty increasingly intersect.

Yet research may not reach decision-makers, institutions may work without sufficient coordination and valuable ideas may struggle to progress towards implementation.

Stronger global governance depends on stronger connections between evidence, leadership, institutions, communities and action.

Why ICGG

The World Does Not Lack Knowledge, Institutions, Leadership Or Ideas.

The challenge is that these elements are not always sufficiently connected. ICGG exists to strengthen those connections.

ICGG does not speak on behalf of governments or claim authority over global institutions. It provides a credible international platform through which ideas, expertise and cooperation can contribute to stronger approaches to shared challenges.
