This Think7 (T7) Policy Brief sets a path forward for achieving shared success in global health, emphasizing the necessity of enhanced coordination, innovation, equal access and sustainable funding to build health systems that are not only reactive to crises but are also equipped to prevent them. It outlines a collaborative framework among the G7 nations in collaboration with G20, alongside partnerships with pivotal global health entities such as the Global Fund, WHO, GAVI and Unitaid, aiming to significantly elevate health outcomes across the globe, with a particular focus on bolstering support for low- and middle-income countries. The Rockefeller Foundation contributed to Section 5: Navigating the Health Impacts of Climate Change: A Call for Financing, highlighting the critical role that G7 countries play in promoting integrated financing of climate action in the global health architecture to ensure that health is considered an integral part of the climate adaptation agenda.
T7 is the Group of 7 (G7) official engagement group that brings together leading think tanks and research centers worldwide with the aim to provide evidence-based advice and policy recommendations for the G7 Presidency. T7 policy briefs serve as background material for the T7 Final Communiqué to be presented to the Italian Presidency ahead of the G7 Summit.
