Programs Citizens for Global Solutions-Minnesota works with our national organization on a number of issue areas. Below, you can read about these issues and find links to more information.

Citizens for Global Solutions is a nationwide organization that inspires America to engage the world. Our members recognize that in today’s interconnected world, our lives, our jobs and our families are increasingly affected by global problems. Challenges like terrorism, climate change, failed states and infectious diseases cannot be addressed by any one country alone, not even the United States.

Citizens for Global Solutions believes that countries can best solve global problems by working together to find global solutions. We believe that achieving a secure, connected, just and livable world requires effective international law and institutions, as well as a U.S. foreign policy that makes us safer and stronger through cooperation.

Citizens for Global Solutions envisions and advocates:

  • A Secure World in which we work together with our friends and allies to tackle global problems that no one nation can solve alone, like terrorism, genocide and failed states;
  • A Connected World in which Americans recognize the link between global issues and local concerns in communities at home;
  • A Just World in which terrorists, human rights abusers and war criminals are held responsible for their crimes and deterred from future attacks; and,
  • A Livable World in which global collaborative efforts effectively confront environmental and health threats.

    Examples of CGS Issues and Activities

    Connecting Global to Local aims to make the connection between global issues and local concerns in communities across the United States, and helps mobilize voices that support a more cooperative and engaged U.S. role in the world in order to close the foreign policy gap.

    The Energy Initiative works toward a world in which all people have access to clean, safe, affordable and sustainable energy resources, and in which the world’s energy resources are no longer a source of conflict, political exploitation or environmental destruction.

    The International Law and Justice Program strives to make justice, accountability, and "never again" a reality by ensuring U.S. support for international law and institutions such as the International Criminal Court, ad hoc tribunals, and other law and justice mechanisms essential to ensuring a safe and just world.
