Currently celebrating 100 years, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs is where your world and the world meet.

We are a nonpartisan, nonpro t organization dedicated to increasing knowledge and engagement in global affairs. Our in-depth analysis and expert-led research in uence policy conversations and inform the insights we share with our growing community.

We believe expert insights aren’t just for the limited few, and that we all have a role to play in global affairs. Our panels with leading experts put you at the heart of important conversations, while our ongoing research brings you the latest insights and shapes debates on U.S. foreign policy; advances city-based solutions to global challenges; and supports a more sustainable and resilient global food system.
