Global Research Priority Tracker | Aligning EU Policy with Majority World Priorities

Policies and research agendas in the EU too often overlook the expertise of Majority World (Global South) actors, leading to misaligned priorities and ineffective interventions. The Global Research Priority Tracker gives voice to experts from the Global South—across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—by mapping 230 research priorities through an inclusive, eight-month horizon-scanning process conducted in 2022.

Project Overview

The Global Research Priority Tracker gives voice to experts from the Global South—across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—by mapping 230 research priorities through an inclusive, eight-month horizon-scanning process conducted in 2022. The result is an accessible, searchable database designed to inform and align EU research strategies with the needs and insights of those most impacted by global challenges.

Our Role

IIED Europe spearheaded the project, leading stakeholder engagement, coordinating the horizon-scanning process, and developing the Tracker to ensure the research priorities identified are actionable and can meaningfully influence EU research planning.

Duration: The research process and development of the Tracker were conducted over eight months in 2022.

UNDERPIN | Addressing critical climate adaptation gaps across Europe.

Europe is warming at twice the global average, leading to uneven and inequitable climate impacts across regions, sectors, and social groups. Just and transformative climate adaptation, practical implementation and robust monitoring frameworks are needed. UNDERPIN addresses these challenges through innovative, outcome-oriented indicators that measure the effectiveness of adaptation strategies and foster harmonised climate resilience monitoring across Europe.
