The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.
IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

Germany will take on the G20 Presidency in December 2016. This is a role which involves tremendous opportunities and responsibilities in a difficult global economic and political Situation. A visionary and global outlook is required in order to pave the way for a more secure future. The G20 is an indispensable actor when it comes to the future of global governance as a means of shaping globalisation. The industrialised nations and emerging economies that make up the G20 account for over 80% of global GNP, greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption.
As editors of this blog, we are proud to welcome you to this Think20 (T20) platform for promoting informed policy discussions about the G20. Here, we would like to outline some of our ambitions for this blog, including the type of pieces we will be publishing, the kind of audience we are writing for, and most importantly, how you can get engaged. Now into its sixth year, the T20 community of think tank researchers and university academics has become a fixture within the G20 universe.
Die bevorstehende G20-Präsidentschaft bietet der deutschen Entwicklungspolitik einmalige Chancen zur Gestaltung wichtiger internationaler Prozesse. Dabei geht es im Wesentlichen um das Voranbringen der Agenda 2030 für Nachhaltige Entwicklung; die Zusammenarbeit der G20 mit Afrika auf einem neuen Niveau; und die Überwindung der aktuellen Blockade zwischen „alten“ und „neuen“ Gebern. Vor allem die Development Working Group der G20 kann im Hinblick auf die Agenda 2030 den Austausch aktiv unterstützen. Die deutsche Präsidentschaft könnte dabei die Führung übernehmen.
Drought is increasing in severity, duration and spatial extent. The far-reaching impacts of droughts underscore the need for coordinated approaches. Overcoming the prevailing structure of a ‘reactive’ approach and a move towards a more ‘proactive’approach is crucial.
Dürren nehmen an Schwere, Dauer und räumlicher Ausdehnung zu. Aufgrund der weitreichenden Folgen braucht es übersektoral koordinierte Ansätze zur Erreichung von Dürreresilienz. Der Wechsel von der vorherrschenden „reaktiven“ Struktur zu einem „proaktiveren“ Ansatz ist von entscheidender Bedeutung.

To “make standards work” for SMEs and sustainable development, the challenges and incentives for take-up of sustainability standards need to be better understood. The paper analyses five country case studies to identify drivers and constraints for standard adoption by SMEs and to derive policy advice.
