The UK has the opportunity with the Presidency of G7 and the hosting of COP26 to play a leading role in shaping the global health agenda and, at the same time, define its global role post Brexit as the world starts to recover from the pandemic.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global Health has issued a short statement setting out the APPG's views on the UK’s global role and makes recommendations about further priorities for the G7 meetings. It is based on meetings and discussions with parliamentarians and health and science leaders.

The APPG will issue a further statement in advance of the COP26 climate summit to be held in Glasgow in November. Details will be published on the website and sent to the mailing list.
