How does research contribute to sustainable development in the Global South ? This book highlights 80 major scientific breakthroughs in response to the many challenges facing the countries of the Mediterranean and tropical regions in these times of globalisation. Illustrated with magnificent photos taken on every continent by IRD researchers and photographers from all over the world, it offers a fascinating journey to the heart of the major issues facing the world today, such as the fight against climate change, preventing pandemics, anticipating risks, preserving biodiversity and the fight against inequality and for greater social justice. Throughout the book, scientists and development stakeholders share their views on the vital role interdisciplinary research plays in building a desirable future together. This book is intended for a wide readership, and was published to mark the IRD's 80th anniversary. It illustrates the commitment of science in both the Global North and Global South on all fronts of sustainable development.
