Carnegie Council is pleased to announce its 2021 Impact Initiatives. These initiatives identify pressing ethical issues, convene leading experts, and produce agenda-setting resources to educate and activate communities globally. The Impact Initiatives will drive forward actionable real-world solutions in the areas of climate change, migration, artificial intelligence, and foreign policy.

Wyne joins co-hosts Nick Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin to assess if the Biden/Harris administration is delivering on its promises of restoring U.S. global engagement and making foreign policy work for the middle class. Can the team pivot U.S. policy to address new economic, technological and geopolitical demands of a world that spent the past four years without American leadership?

Large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is necessary for the world to reach net zero by 2050–but is extremely difficult to achieve. A new report from the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) and Climate Analytics lays out key governance challenges and opportunities for policymakers. Can the sustainability challenges, risks, and trade-offs inherent in large-scale CDR be managed? What governance tools would need to be in place to deploy CDR?

In his long career as a journalist, author Robert D. Kaplan often crossed paths with Bob Gersony. A high school dropout later awarded a Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam, Gersony conducted on-the-ground research for the U.S. government in virtually every war and natural-disaster zone in the world. In conversation with Joel Rosenthal, Kaplan discusses the powerful example that Gersony set of how diplomacy should be conducted.

The pandemic has made us all shockingly aware of the way that a highly infectious disease exposes the moral frailties of our social systems. In this virtual event moderated by Carnegie-Uehiro Fellow Wendell Wallach, leading ethicists and historians discuss their work, how it has been affected by the pandemic, and what lessons we may take away from this global crisis.

The editors of Ethics & International Affairs are pleased to present the Winter 2020 issue of the journal! The highlight of this issue is a roundtable organized by Kai He, T. V. Paul and Anders Wivel on international institutions and peaceful change. Additionally, the issue includes essays by Michael Doyle and Elie Peltz on worker visas as a complementary pathway for refugee resettlement and Ş. İlgü Özler on the United Nations and the COVID-19 pandemic.

January 6, 2021 was one of the darkest days in U.S. history. Please read this statement from Carnegie Council on yesterday's tragic violence at the U.S. Capitol, and how together, we can use the power of ethics to build a better world.
