On September 15-17, 2005, President Clinton hosted the Clinton Globel Initiative (CGI), a major conference that brought together global leaders from business, politics, science, religion and non-governmental organizations. The CGI was a forum for the group to develop concrete policies and implement solutions to the world's most challenging problems.
Focused on results, the Clinton Global Initiative was a non-partisan conference in which attendees participated in workshops and meetings focused on four main topics: poverty; climate change; religion, conflict and reconciliation; and enhancing governance. Attendees were asked to make a specific pledge to address one of those areas and will report on their progress to President Clinton over the course of the year.
These are photos of some of the attendees:
