Global growth in renewable energy projects in Africa remains stagnant, with only one project approved by the Green Climate Fund since 2021, despite significant health and environmental benefits. The chronic underfunding of the GCF, alongside persistent fossil fuel subsidies, hampers progress, while private sector solar developers face significant financial hurdles. As health impacts from climate change intensify, the need for urgent action and innovative research linking climate and health outcomes becomes increasingly critical.
The World Health Organization secured $1 billion in pledges at a fundraising event in Berlin, marking a significant step towards sustainable financing to address global health emergencies. This funding aims to support WHO's $11.1 billion strategy for 2025-28, which could save over 40 million lives. Key European nations, including Germany and the EU, have committed substantial amounts, while further appeals for funding are planned across Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.
