Overview

The Global Development Institute is where critical thinking meets social justice. In a time of unprecedented global change, we tackle some of the world’s most pressing environmental, political and economic challenges.

Global issues such as climate change, inequality and social justice cut across national boundaries and require a genuinely global perspective.
