abstract:The Global Development Network (GDN) is a worldwide network of research and policy institutes working to provide new perspectives to the development challenges of our time. A spin-off of the World Bank, GDN works to make policy-relevant research accelerate the pace of global development.
The project involves seven partners including three UK Global Geoparks and will support the development of the Global Geoparks Network of geoheritage destinations in the Northern Periphery and Arctic Region.
Its work led to the first Global Interfaith Network on Population and Development, launched in 2008, with the participation of more than 160 faith-based organizations and religious leaders.
