Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative convenes actors across sectors to inspire action on today’s most challenging problems. CGI has evolved over the years, remaining flexible in order to meet the needs currently faced by communities around the globe. Our model continues to drive ideas into action with a focus on disaster response, recovery and resilience. Since its launch, over 3,400 Commitments to Action have helped to improve the lives of over 430 million people in more than 180 countries.
