About GGF 2025
The Global Governance Futures program brings together young professionals to look ahead
to the year 2025 and recommend ways to address key global challenges. Building on two
previous rounds of the program (GGF 2020 and GGF 2022), GGF 2025 has assembled 25
individuals from Germany, China, Japan, India and the United States to form three working
groups that focus on internet governance, geoengineering governance or global arms
control in the year 2025.
Over the course of 2014 and 2015 the fellows meet in four sessions that take place in the five
participating countries. In three working groups, they will produce scenarios towards 2025
and develop concrete policy suggestions for effective and accountable governance.
At the heart of the GGF philosophy, we believe that the greatest asset of the program lies
in the diversity of our fellows and the collective energy they develop when they come
together, discuss, debate and engage with one another during the four intense working
sessions. This is why the fellows squarely occupy the center stage, setting GGF apart from
many other young professionals’ programs. The fellows play an active role in shaping the
agenda of their respective working groups. The working process draws on the GGF method
and brings together the unique strengths, experiences and perspectives of each fellow in
working towards a common goal. The GGF team works closely with the fellows to help them
achieve their goals and, in the process, cultivates a community that will last well beyond the
duration of the program through a growing and active alumni network.
The dialogue sessions (each five to eight days) will take place in Berlin (8-12 June 2014),
Tokyo and Beijing (9-15 October 2014), New Delhi (18-22 January 2015) and Washington, DC
(3-7 May 2015).
