The Global SDGs Leadership Center (GSLC, formerly GSLDC) is an independent international institution for research, education and capacity building; its predecessor was the Singapore SDGs Center jointly initiated by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the Global Youth Leadership Development Council (GYLDC), and has operated since November 2026 as an independent international institution with autonomous governance and independent project decision-making.

With Geneva, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai and Nairobi as its principal cooperation hubs, the Center brings together former senior officials of international organizations and senior professionals from a wide range of fields to advance global governance and multilateral cooperation, SDG localization, and the integration of digitalization and sustainable development. Serving governments, businesses, higher education and research institutions, and civil society organizations, it provides policy research, international dialogue, capacity building and demonstration initiatives, with priority themes spanning climate action, the digital economy, AI governance and applications, sustainable finance, urban and community resilience, social innovation and future leadership.

Through knowledge exchange, project design and the scaling of pilot practice, the Center brings international development experience together with local needs and supports the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
