Understanding and advancing how evidence can be used to inform decisions to improve people’s lives is a crucial priority for IDS. This is especially important for evidence-led solutions that need to balance between social, economic, and environmental domains to achieve sustainability.

In this podcast James Georgalakis, Director of Evidence and Impact at IDS is in conversation with Rob D. van den Berg, Visiting Professor at King’s College, London who talks about his new book Evidence for Hope: The Emerging Sustainability Revolution.

Rob, who has worked as independent evaluator in international development for decades, advocates in the podcast that evaluative evidence should be more widely used as it provides a rich source for solutions of sustainability problems. He also notes that we are on the verge of a sustainability revolution that will happen regardless of current-day populist movements: these two factors are the Evidence for Hope that Rob sees.
