Showcasing the concrete results and successes of institutes made it possible to foster a sense of pride and belonging and heighten the perception of an urgent shared project.

Atlas Highlights identified concrete initiatives, “showing how the institutes in the Atlas network are redefining the boundaries of ‘politically impossible’ policies worldwide.” For example, the strategies by which Atlas and associated think tanks have weighed in on the healthcare and climate change debates since the mid-1980s were given prominence.
