CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE
Taking action on the world’s most pressing challenges, together
Featured
What is the Clinton Global Initiative?
CGI is more than a conference — it’s a catalyst for change. Since 2005, we’ve helped set the annual international development agenda and have proven that the biggest global challenges can be solved through community, collaboration, and a commitment to action.
A UNIQUE MODEL
Convene
Through its flagship Annual Meeting and year-round engagements, CGI brings together leaders of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations; prominent voices in business, labor, and finance; youth leaders and grassroots activists; heads of state and prominent government officials; global citizens; and more.
Connect
Solutions to many of the world’s challenges are already out there. CGI supports participating leaders and organizations by identifying potential new partners for their work, providing technical support, and highlighting approaches that have the potential to scale.
Catalyze
CGI participants create Commitments to Action to address pressing global challenges, with a particular focus on actions that can make a difference today, tomorrow, and this year.

Focus Areas
We bring together established and emerging global leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, driving urgent action and innovation on:
Action Networks
CGI Action Networks address specific challenges that require urgent response. Through these networks, participating leaders and organizations can share knowledge, support, and resources — and sustain deliberate attention and action.
Communities
What are Commitments to Action?
Our “community of doers” partner to develop CGI Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable projects and programs to advance climate resilience, economic inclusion, health equity, humanitarian response, women and girls’ equality, and more.
Browse Commitments
Commitments to Action are made, implemented, and tracked by partners. CGI is a program dedicated forging new partnerships, providing technical support, and elevating compelling models with potential to scale. CGI does not directly fund or implement these projects.
