Paulson Institute
The Paulson Institute is a non-partisan, independent “think and do tank” dedicated to fostering a US-China relationship that serves to maintain global order in a rapidly evolving world. Founded in 2011 by former Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr., the Institute is based in Chicago with offices in Washington and Beijing.
The Institute's focus on US-China is dictated by the reality that it is the most consequential bilateral relationship in the world. The Paulson Institute often operates at the intersection of economics, financial markets, environmental protection, and policy advocacy, in part by promoting balanced and sustainable economic growth.
The Institute produces leading analysis and intellectual products to decode China’s political economy. It advocates for market and nature-based solutions to climate change and environmental conservation. It works with financial markets and international financial institutions to implement green lending standards. And it convenes thought leaders to generate new thinking and to help build a new framework on US-China policy.
