The Chicago Council on Global Affairs is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization that provides insight – and influences the public discourse – on critical global issues. We convene leading global voices, conduct independent research, and engage the public to explore ideas that will shape our global future. The Council on Global Affairs is committed to bringing clarity and offering solutions to issues that transcend borders and transform how people, business, and governments engage the world.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Council

We believe greater knowledge and engagement creates a more open and promising world for all. Through accessible content, in-depth research, and open dialogue of diverse perspectives, we empower more people to help shape our global future.
