The Global Challenges Initiative
The Global Challenges Initiative (GCI) was officially launched on November 16th, 2010, with three days of intense discussions and planning by global experts. Calling upon leading organizations in the non-governmental, academic, public, private and government sectors , the 2010 forum sought to frame the first set of challenges to be addressed, set the scope of future GCI activities, and determine a structure for the 'Forum of Forums'.
