From Science to Practice: The Role of Research in Tackling COVID-19 and Achieving the SDGs
Organizations in International Geneva produce a wide range of policy relevant research on how to continue progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development while also responding to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
