⚠️ When science is treated as an enemy, facts become casualties and society pays the price. 🚨 Attacking scientists, defunding research, and undermining evidence-based policymaking may score political points today, but it weakens humanity's ability to solve tomorrow's challenges—from climate change and pandemics to food, water, and energy security. 🔴 Science is not left-wing or right-wing. Science is a public good. 🔬 Protect science. Protect the future. 🌍 #Science #ClimateAction #Research #EvidenceBasedPolicy #FutureGenerations @hiltzikm @PeterDaszak @PeterHotez @latimes

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬 Why do many well-intentioned policies fail to deliver the expected results? Globally, policymakers are increasingly recognizing that effective policies must account for how people actually think, behave, and make decisions. Yet in Pakistan, behavioral assessments remain largely absent from policy design, implementation, and evaluation. #PIDE Working Paper, “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬” by Fahd Zulfiqar (@ZulfiqarFahd), Fizzah Khalid Butt (@Fizzscreams) and Maryam Hafeez, highlights why aligning policy with behavioral evidence is critical for improving policy outcomes. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 Policy success depends not only on incentives and regulations but also on understanding cognitive biases, social norms, trust, and behavioral responses. Behavioral analyses and well-designed nudges can significantly improve policy compliance, service uptake, and citizen engagement. 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 Pakistan needs to institutionalize behavioral analyses in policymaking by combining behavioral evidence, context-sensitive research methods, and practical nudging strategies. Strengthening the theory–methods–action nexus can lead to more effective, evidence-based, and people-centered public policies.

The IRF Statistics team participated in the 77th session of the Working Party on Transport Statistics (WP.6) earlier this week at the @UNECE in Geneva, Switzerland. The meeting brought together experts and representatives from international organisations to advance the development and harmonisation of transport statistics. The @ITF_Forum presented its latest work on transport statistics and moderated a session focused on transport resilience as part of its longstanding collaboration between with @UNECE and @EU_Eurostat. Engagement in forums such as WP.6 helps strengthen international cooperation, improve data quality, and support evidence-based decision-making for safer, more efficient and resilient transport systems. #TransportStatistics #DataDrivenPolicy #TransportData #Resilience #Mobility #UNECE #ITF #EvidenceBasedPolicy #TransportSystems #RoadSafety

Public debates on reservation should be guided by facts, not assumptions. According to government data, representation of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Central Government workforce is broadly in line with their prescribed reservation quotas, and in some categories even exceeds them. Data from recent years also indicates that OBC representation in direct recruitment has consistently remained above the mandated 27% benchmark. These figures highlight an important point: reservation has played a significant role in improving representation within public employment. The conversation must now move beyond rhetoric and focus on the next challenge—ensuring quality education, skill development, economic mobility, and equal opportunities so that social justice translates into long-term empowerment. Policy debates are strongest when they are rooted in evidence rather than perception. @mygovindia #Reservation #SocialJustice #SC #ST #OBC #PublicPolicy #Governance #DataMatters #Employment #EqualOpportunity #India #EvidenceBasedPolicy
