Delivering Sustainable Development Policy Impact from Research: Case Studies from Ireland

This report compiles case studies that capture some of the achievements of SDSN Ireland members in acceleration progress towards sustainable development by delivering policy impact from their research. This involves undertaking research relevant to sustainable development, translating the research results into policy insights and then engaging with the policy systems to not only improve the evidence base for policy, but also to actively inform, underpin, co-produce and implement sustainable development policy. 

The report was compiled by the SDSN-Ireland Thematic Group on Research-Policy Interface and will be expanded and updated on a six-monthly basis to showcase the important role that research can play in policy development and to add to the knowledge base on how best to bridge between the research and policy ecosystems to advance sustainability.
