Channel G will be covering the Clinton Global Initiative in New York this
Sept.

President Bill Clinton and the William J. Clinton Foundation have launched
the Clinton Global Initiative to help our world move beyond the current
state of globalization to a more integrated global community of shared
benefits, responsibilities, and values.

The mission of the William J. Clinton Foundation, and the goal of this
Initiative, is to increase the benefits and reduce the burdens of global
interdependence; to make a world of more partners and fewer enemies; and to
give more people the tools they need to build a better future.
The Clinton Global Initiative is a non-partisan endeavor, bringing together
a carefully selected group of the world’s best minds and most distinguished
problem solvers to focus on practical, effective measures that can be taken
now. These leaders - from a wide variety of political, ideological,
religious, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds - include current and former
heads of state, top business executives, preeminent scholars, and
representatives of key non-governmental organizations.

This Initiative is unlike other world conferences in one respect: it is
determined to change things now, by discussing some of the world’s most
pressing problems; detailing successful responses to them; seeking the best
new solutions; and most important, obtaining a specific commitment from each
participant to take action in one of the topics discussed.
