The Atlantic Council plays a crucial role in providing understanding of this historic moment, particularly in making clear the stakes of these challenges and the connections between them. Supplying that understanding, however, is only a starting place. Beyond that, we work with partners and allies to formulate policies and seek solutions that address the defining challenges of our times. Today’s leaders have the ability and tools to shape the global future, just as their predecessors did in the years after World War II. But, as Sullivan has noted, the political will to do so needs to be mustered.
That is the demanding context for our work.
Fortunately, as we hope you will conclude from our Annual Report 2023/2024, the Atlantic Council has never been stronger operationally, substantively, or financially in our sixty-three-year history.
