Key partner regions and project activities worldwide

In 2020, CDE ran internationally, regionally, or nationally focused activities within 82 projects in 32 countries worldwide. Key partner regions are East Africa, the Horn of Africa, mainland Southeast Asia, and the central Andes.

CDE maintains a worldwide network of national and international research partnerships. Our cooperation activities, many of them with countries from the global South and East, enable us to better understand the impacts of global change and to develop appropriate strategies that are adapted to local and regional contexts. We also support Swiss and international academic networks that coordinate sustainability research. We act as intermediaries between research and education, and are committed to innovative science policy.
