The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of key contemporary international issues throughout Western Pennsylvania. Established in 1931, the Council is committed to informing opinion leaders and decision-makers about developments around the world as they unfold – and to educating them about the relevance of such developments to the region.
We seek to convene and connect people around global issues to build a thriving, competitive, and inclusive Pittsburgh. Ultimately, our vision is to create a globally minded and globally connected world that is equitable and just for all.
