Dr. Babatunde Omilola highlights the report's significance in guiding governments to foster an environment conducive to innovative health solutions.
Rachel Reeves' budget has raised the Energy Profits Levy on fossil fuel firms, expected to generate £300 million annually, but the Office for Budget Responsibility warns it will deter investment.

Despite record tax revenues, unprotected departments face real-terms cuts, raising concerns about future spending.
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.
