World Affairs engages the public in the most critical global issues of our day. We believe that solutions to the world’s most challenging problems are found when the private, philanthropic and public sectors work together. Every day, we convene thought leaders, change makers and engaged citizens to share ideas, learn from each other and engage in conversations that matter. Founded in 1947 following the San Francisco conference that established the United Nations, World Affairs remains one of the most vibrant global affairs organizations in the United States.
