Progress against goals needs to be precisely analyzed to understand specifically what's working or not. John W McArthur and Homi Kharas analyze the #SDGs and share suprising insights on how we are really doing. project-syndicate.org/commentary/ass…

The #SDGs remind us that while progress is steady in some areas, it's not happening fast enough to meet the 2030 targets. Countries must accelerate efforts toward transformational change #By2030, while holding on to hope and action. Project Syndicate ow.ly/Cybo50TBCEm

In 2025 🇨🇦 will once again host the #G7 meeting in Kananaskis Alberta. My friend Abdallah Daar OC, FRS(C), DPhil (Oxon), FRCS, FRCP and I published this article, “Harnessing Genomics and Bioetechnology to Improve Global Health Equity,” in Science magazine 23 years ago, the last time 🇨🇦 hosted a G7 (then G8) meeting

A prevalent global narrative of "too much debt" and "not enough growth" for developing countries needs to recognize the role for increasing high-return, debt-financed investment to fuel sustainable growth. So argues Homi Kharas in a blog The Brookings Institution brookings.edu/articles/an-en…
