Emerging Health Challenges, Cooperation and the Role of Middle Powers

Global health is entering a period of transition shaped by population ageing, NCDs, climate risks, antimicrobial resistance, emerging infectious diseases, technology and humanitarian crises. Financing models and cooperation patterns are evolving as assistance is under pressure and new actors play larger roles. The roundtable explores priorities beyond 2030, agenda-setting, sustainable financing, multilateral cooperation and regional or middle-power leadership.
