Transforming Knowledge, Transforming Lives

Abstract

IDS’ research, learning and teaching seeks to understand and respond to these disruptions and shocks by working more ambitiously, collaboratively, politically and internationally than ever before. We are entering the decade of delivery for the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development (Global Goals). The transformative change needed to make progress against this ambitious framework will only happen through a deeper collective recognition that this is a universal agenda, and that the challenges we face are interconnected and cannot be addressed in isolation. By recognising this, a politics of hope can emerge around what is possible in terms of more equitable and sustainable futures.
