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.

The G7 summit presents a unique opportunity to further the establishemt of a new agenda for sustainable development. The G7 should take action at home, in low-income and middle-income countries, as well as at the global level.

25 June 2015. Less than three weeks have passed since the G7 leaders explicitly committed to the "decarbonisation of the global economy" at Schloss Elmau. Once again, Angela Merkel was lauded as the Climate Chancellor. Yet the word from Germany's Economics Ministry is that the envisaged climate levy for coal-fired power plants has been scrapped. If this is true, it would only underscore the fact that decarbonisation is no mean feat.
How to move from declaration of intent to concrete commitments at the upcoming Conference on Financing for Development? How to ensure that commitments match the most relevant issues for implementing the SDGs? The paper proposes three steps with a focus on national and international public finance.

The transit states in North Africa are facing pressure on several different fronts, whether socio-economic crises, political conflicts, transit migration from sub-Saharan Africa or the externalisation of EU migration control.

Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) were born with a big bang at the UN climate negotiations in 2013. Friends and foes soon considered them instrumental to reach a global climate agreement in Paris in December 2015. The INDCs break new ground because they are universal: all countries will formulate contributions to address climate change, not just the industrialised countries. INDCs are the talk of the day at climate workshops and conferences, and expectations are huge. Yet, this might all prove to be empty talk and hope in vain, unless some critical issues are going to be solved in the coming months.
TTIP wird heiß diskutiert – jedoch mit einem verengten Fokus. Befürworter und Kritiker konzentrieren sich vor allem auf die Auswirkungen von TTIP auf Deutschland und Europa. Den Implikationen dieses Mega Regionals für den Rest der Welt wird nicht genügend Beachtung geschenkt.
