CIC at 30: Local Governance for Global Impact

​As the NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) celebrates its 30th anniversary, we reflect on three decades of work at NYU Arts & Science and mark an exciting new chapter as CIC joins the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Building on this legacy, this high-level event will focus on advancing more effective, inclusive, and accountable international cooperation in a rapidly changing world. A particular challenge is ensuring that negotiated global agreements are prioritized and translated into on-the-ground action that supports development and improves people’s lives.

​Strategically scheduled during the United Nations (UN) General Assembly High-Level Week, the event is timed to attract a range of CIC’s high-level and global stakeholders who will be in New York that evening.

​The event will contribute to ongoing global discussions on how governments, institutions, and civil society can better respond to interconnected challenges, from inequality and violence to climate change, technological disruption, and declining trust in public institutions, by strengthening cooperation across all levels through whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches.
