Connecting young leaders and change-makers from across the globe!
Center for International Policy and Sustainability (CIPS) is a Canada-based international organization dedicated to empowering young people as drivers of change. We serve as a gateway to global opportunities, bringing youth, policymakers, and experts together through world-class conferences, high-level policy dialogues, and cutting-edge research.
At CIPS, we go beyond discussion — we turn ideas into action. From representing nations at the United Nations and engaging with global institutions to developing innovative solutions for the Sustainable Development Goals, we equip young leaders with the skills, networks, and platforms they need to shape a more sustainable and inclusive future.
CIPS is incorporated in Canada as a registered organization, operating with the highest standards of professionalism and transparency. Guided by our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we bring together expertise from every continent.
Our events have featured senior government officials, UN representatives, global development experts, business innovators, and youth leaders from different parts of the world. Recognized for our top-quality international conferences, high-impact policy dialogues, and skill-building workshops, we have built a strong reputation as a trusted platform for meaningful global engagement.
From exclusive roundtables at international institutions to large-scale youth empowerment summits, CIPS programs consistently deliver substance, networking opportunities, and actionable results—making us a go-to hub for forward-thinking governance and sustainability initiatives.

Through research, advocacy, and collaboration, CIPS works with governments, civil society, and global institutions to promote policies that are inclusive, effective, and action-driven.
The CIPS workshop completely changed how I see policy. Before, I thought policymaking was only for governments — but here, I learned that young people like me can be part of shaping real solutions. The sessions were interactive, practical, and gave me the confidence to engage in policy discussions back home.
