About CIGI
WORLD-LEADING THINK TANK ON INTERNATIONAL GOVERNANCE Founded in 2001, The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank on international governance challenges. Led by experienced practitioners and distinguished academics, CIGI aims to anticipate emerging trends in international governance and to strengthen multilateral responses to the world’s most pressing problems. CIGI advances policy ideas and debate by conducting studies, forming networks and convening scholars, practitioners and policy makers. By operating an active program of publications, events, conferences and workshops, CIGI builds capacity to effect change in international public policy. CIGI is advised by an International Board of Governors. The organization is housed in the historic former Seagram Museum building in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It was founded by philanthropist Jim Balsillie, then co-CEO of Research In Motion (BlackBerry), who serves as CIGI’s chair. CIGI is funded by private and public donations. It gratefully acknowledges the support of the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.
VISION CIGI strives to be the world’s leading think tank on international governance, with recognized impact on significant global problems.
MISSION CIGI will build bridges from knowledge to power, conducting world-leading research and analysis, and influencing policy makers to innovate.
BELIEFS CIGI believes that better international governance can improve the lives of people everywhere, by increasing prosperity, ensuring global sustainability, addressing inequality and safeguarding human rights and promoting a more secure world.

Programs CIGI’S POLICY RESEARCH OCCURS IN FOUR AREAS GLOBAL ECONOMY
GLOBAL SECURITY
Addressing the need for sustainable and balanced economic growth, the Global Economy program is a central area of CIGI expertise. Its importance was heightened by the global financial crisis of 2008-09, which gave impetus to formation of the G20 leaders’ summits. The program looks at macroeconomic coordination, financial regulation and institutional reforms.
We live in a world in which perceptions about key security challenges differ not only among the great powers of the international system, but also from one region of the globe to another. CIGI’s Global Security program focuses on a range of issues, including regional security, Arctic governance, and Internet security and governance.
ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY
GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT
Planet Earth faces severe and growing stresses as a result of human development and consumption. CIGI’s Environment and Energy program focuses on governance issues related to climate change, global sustainability and international coordination of local environmental initiatives.
The overall goal of CIGI’s Global Development program is to identify international governance innovations and adjustments that support sustainable development and poverty reduction, and facilitate the transition to more effective, efficient and equitable delivery of global public goods.
