What is development? Is a video series that aims to plug into contemporary debates and discourses, and to ask current, timely and important questions within international development. Our world faces unprecedented disruptions and shocks. They pose risks but also present opportunities to transform approaches in how we tackle global challenges. The questions the series seeks to address are guided by the IDS Strategy 2020-2025

And the IDS commitments on: upholding climate and environmental justice; reducing extreme inequities; fostering healthy and fulfilling lives; and nurturing inclusive, democratic, and accountable societies. While the series aims to look at many of the global challenges that we are facing, it also points towards much of the research and learning that is being conducted at IDS in these areas and how they can, ultimately, impact upon the world.
