New Report from CGP on UK Soft Power and Global Health
The Coalition for Global Prosperity has today published the latest in our series of thought leadership pieces with a new report titled - From Expertise to Influence: UK's Soft Power in Global Health
The report features a foreword from The Rt Hon Sir Sajid Javid MP, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Health Secretary.
“The UK remains at the forefront of some of the most important advances being made in modern science. This position is crucial to our strength both domestically and overseas today, and with the world we face tomorrow, it will become even more important. Increased risk of pandemics, the emergence of new technology and changing climate could all be potentially catastrophic. Now more than ever, UK leadership on science and technology is needed.”
