The Global Solutions Initiative is a global collaborative enterprise that proposes policy responses to major global problems, addressed by the G20, the G7 and other global governance fora. The policy recommendations and strategic visions are generated through a disciplined research program by leading research organizations, elaborated in policy dialogues between researchers, policymakers, business leaders and civil society representatives.
The Global Solutions Initiative provides an intellectual backbone for the Group of Twenty (G20) through its support of the Think20 (T20) process each year.
Founded during the 2017 German G20 Presidency, the Global Solutions Initiative is primarily funded by major German foundations and public institutions.
