🕊️ Happy #WorldScienceDay! 🌍 Science connects us, builds trust, and fosters peace. Here are 4 ways UNU-WIDER promotes sustainable development through science.

We study how legacies of violence shape institutions and the social contract, and what actions can help lay the foundations for lasting peace.
