Founded 2006 · Winnipeg, Canada
Robust discourse for a peaceful, sustainable, and just world.
The Canadian Center for Global Studies brings together a community of intellectuals to identify the serious issues facing our world — and to chart achievable paths forward that decision-makers can act on.
Our Mission
A galaxy of talent, engaging the issues that define our age.
CCGS is a non-profit organization that brings together intellectuals to identify serious global issues and engage in robust discourse that charts the best way forward for a peaceful, sustainable, and just world.
Our concerns range widely — sustainable development, harm reduction, climate change, terrorism, globalization, international law, human rights, migration, and the role of religion and culture in world affairs — and they are pursued in collaboration with like-minded organizations around the globe.
