Cambridge Global Challenges (CGC) is a Strategic Research Initiative of the University of Cambridge that aims to enhance the contribution of its research towards addressing global challenges and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

With a particular focus on the poorest half of the world’s population, CGC : i)Facilitates the dialogue and the co-creation of research agenda with research partners and end-users in the developing world; ii) supports interdisciplinary collaboration between science, technology and medical researchers and those in the arts, humanities and social sciences; iii) enhances the contribution of early career researchers to the formulation and implementation of challenge-led research on the SDGs; iv) facilitates the evolution of cross-disciplinary research agendas on the SDGs leading to the successful submission of substantial funding bids; v) develops protocols for ‘impact chains’ connecting research design to implementation.
