Topics Humankind and the world ecosystem are confronted by mounting insecurity stemming from rapid global change, unchecked globalisation and global disparities. Particularly in developing and transition countries, a variety of core issues may compound one another and give rise to “syndromes of global change” that hinder sustainable development. Yet the same countries facing the most acute problems are often least equipped to develop ways of mitigating them. Research partnerships between institutions in the North and the South thus offer an efficient way to overcome disparities in capacity, technology and resources, and enable us to chart a joint path forward towards a sustainable future. Now in its third phase, the NCCR North-South programme has proven to be an effective means of facilitating mutually beneficial collaboration between institutions and individuals in developing and transition countries and in Switzerland. Displaying a robust network of 350 researchers from about 50 countries, the programme continues to carry out high-quality disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that improves our understanding of global change and promotes sustainable development. Phase 3 of the programme is characterised by a sharpened focus on specific core themes, increased emphasis on integrating and disseminating research to date, intensified work on translating research results into concrete recommendations for policy and practice and sustained efforts towards capacity development and societal empowerment in the South.
