Filipe Duarte is an interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersection of social policy, public policy, social work, and sustainable development. He earned his PhD from Carleton University (Canada) in 2019, after joining the institution in 2012, and holds a Public Policy Analysis Certificate from the London School of Economics (LSE). His research explores how governments, institutions, and professional fields—particularly social work—contribute to the implementation and governance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

His work focuses on public policy analysis, social policy innovation, sustainability education, and emerging ESG practices, with an emphasis on evidence-based and socially inclusive approaches to policy design and implementation. Through this research, he seeks to advance the 2030 Agenda by bridging academic scholarship, policy practice, and community-engaged knowledge.
