The Global Solutions Initiative is a renowned brand that offers policy responses to major global problems faced by the G20, the G7, and other global governance fora. It was established in 2017 during the German G20 Presidency by the Initiative’s President, Dennis J. Snower.

As a stepping stone to the T20 and G20 Summits, the Global Solutions Initiative supports the Think20 process for think tanks. This collaborative enterprise is primarily funded by major German foundations and public institutions. The brand aims to provide research-based policy advice to help governments address the major global challenges of the G20 and beyond.

By aligning business, civil societies, and governments, they strive to tackle these challenges and promote prosperity in thriving societies. Through networks, publications, and events, the Global Solutions Initiative engages with researchers, policy advisors, thought-leaders, scholars, implementers, civil society, policymakers, and business leaders. Their goal is to foster dialogue and produce policy proposals, insights, and recommendations to promote the recoupling of economic, social, political, and environmental prosperity
