The G7 and Global Development Architecture: Gradual Shift or Pivotal Moment? – Debating Development Research. In late 2025 the development cooperation architecture or system is being openly renegotiated rather than quietly adjusted. Will it be a gradual shift or will 2025 be seen in the future as a pivot moment or a tipping point?

New study reveals positive impact of outward investment on home economies. A comprehensive review challenges long-held assumptions about the effects of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI).

The 2025 ERC Synergy Grants are to fund AdaptAIR: Climate adaptation through Artificial Ice Reservoirs (AIRs) in the Himalayas, led by Dr George Adamson and Dr Nithya Natarajan.

Rapidly retreating glaciers threaten the majority-rural livelihoods of over 450 million people living across the Himalayas. In this context, Artificial Ice Reservoirs (AIRs) have proven a popular ‘solution’ and have received backing from aid agencies and global philanthropy. However, their rapid ascent speaks to problems of global climate adaptation more widely: there is scant research into how they fit into rapidly changing livelihoods, structures and physical geographies in the region, and whether they actually enable adaptation. 

AdaptAIR brings together critical social sciences with regionally-attenuated physical geography to develop a critical, participatory and action-oriented way of doing climate adaptation in the Indian Himalayas and beyond.
