Abstract

Imagine a world where every decision, whether in a government office, a community meeting, a hospital, or in response to a humanitarian crisis, is guided by timely and trusted evidence. A world where research is not locked behind paywalls or delayed by outdated systems but delivered in real time and adapted to local needs.

The world in 2025 faces complex challenges, but also unprecedented opportunities to accelerate progress. The Sustainable Development Goals remind us how far we still need to go, while also highlighting the transformative power of working together in new ways
