Against the backdrop of significant financing gaps for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the multiple crises of our time - climate crisis, debt crisis and increasing geopolitical tensions - the international financial system is facing a variety of challenges. In this context, the IDOS finance team is conducting research and providing policy advice on the question of how a resilient and sustainable international financial system should be designed to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and prevent crises.

Cluster "Governance of natural resources for the common good": Natural resources, ecosystems and biodiversity provide the basis for human existence. On a global scale, we are seeing the rapidly advancing overuse and degradation of natural resources.

If we are to see a global transformation in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, then we need to make further adjustments to the current model of global economic governance.
