A guide to a vital source of funding for developing world scientists, including research grants provided by TWAS and Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency
Sustainable development has always been at the heart of TWAS's mission, and recently the Academy has become increasingly alarmed by disruptions caused by climatic changes in developing countries. Climate change threatens to reverse decades of progress on poverty reduction and jeopardizes the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
