The Atlantic Council’s greatest hits of 2023

In October, I urged US President Joe Biden to “connect the dots” on the threats to the global order posed by Russia’s revanchism, China’s antagonism, and Hamas’s brutality. It was a natural point to make because that’s what the talented team at the Atlantic Council does best. We connect the dots for policymakers on the most urgent global challenges of our age—and the list is long, from artificial intelligence to climate change to trade policy and beyond.

Our two dozen “greatest hits” of the year, which you’ll find below, encompass our best efforts to connect the dots and generate impact to further our mission of shaping the global future together with partners and allies. You’ll read about how we shaped the debate on the future of NATO, including Ukraine’s path to membership. We changed how leaders on both sides of the Atlantic think about sanctioning China in the event of a crisis over Taiwan. We were at the heart of the recently concluded United Nations climate change conference, known as COP28, where the energy industry joined together with governments to tackle the climate crisis in ways never before seen—oftentimes doing so during public and private Atlantic Council meetings. Throughout the year, we convened heads of state, civil society leaders, members of Congress, White House officials, and business leaders at high-level, high-profile events.

We are always looking ahead, but at the end of the year I find it inspiring to take stock of all that we’ve accomplished. I hope you will too, and that you’ll join us as we deliver even more impact during what promises to be a historic 2024.
