Description

INTRODUCTION

How does research contribute to sustainable development in the Global South? This book highlights 80 major scientific advances that address the many challenges facing countries in the Mediterranean and tropical regions in the age of globalization.

Illustrated with stunning photos taken on every continent by IRD researchers and photographers from around the world, it offers a fascinating journey into the heart of the major challenges of the contemporary world: the fight against climate change, pandemic prevention, risk anticipation, biodiversity conservation, and the struggle against inequality and for greater social justice. Throughout this journey, scientists and development actors speak out on the indispensable role of interdisciplinary research in collectively building a desirable future.

Intended for a broad audience, this book, published to mark the IRD’s 80th anniversary, aims to illustrate science that is engaged in both the Global North and South across all fronts of sustainable development.
