A global economic system that benefits people and planet.
OUR MISSION
Mobilize change to recouple economic progress with social and environmental prosperity.
The Global Solutions Initiative (GSI) works towards a global economic system that benefits people and planet. Rooted in research, GSI brings together policy, academia, civil society, and the private sector to generate insights for better global governance.
Founded in 2017, the Berlin-based independent, non-profit organization annually convenes the Global Solutions Summit, which serves as a steppingstone to the G20 and G7 Summits. GSI is led by Dennis J. Snower, Markus Engels, and Christian Kastrop. The Global Solutions Initiative was founded during the 2017 German G20 Presidency by the Initiative’s President Dennis J. Snower.
The Global Solutions Summit – the World Policy Forum – is an international conference aimed at addressing key policy challenges facing the G20 and G7 and other global governance fora.
Distinguished experts from think tanks, research organizations, governance, business, and civil society come together each year in the middle of every G20 Presidency to work on concrete policy solutions.
The next Global Solutions Summit will take place on May 5-6, 2025. Stay up to date on social media and in our newsletter.
The G20 Insights Platform offers policy proposals to the G20. It is an initiative of the Think 20 Engagement Group.
The Policy Briefs, produced by Task Forces from the Think20 (T20) Group and other sources, are clustered in Policy Areas, Presidencies and Task Forces and describe either recommendations or visions.
