A message from our Director
Professor Asad Islam
November 2023
As we approach the end of 2023, I am delighted to announce CDES is co-hosting two exciting events in these final months - the 2023 Monash Environmental Economics Workshop and Sustainable Development for Thriving Communities.
They follow our recent Martin Ravallion Symposium on poverty and inequality, a tribute to the late Prof Ravallion, who had been a CDES advisor.
I conducted a fruitful research mission in Fiji, focusing on the ARC CoE Violence against Women initiative, and climate change. Read more about my visit.
I am delighted to introduce our many new CDES affiliates and associates - please browse the full list.
I also invite you to read our latest CDES blog post, Beyond the Village Sky: Expanding Children’s Worlds Through Education.
I wish you all a well-deserved festive break and look forward to another year of collaboration and shared growth.
Warm regards,
Professor Asad Islam
Director, Centre for Development Economics and Sustainability
