They provide an overview of the UK research’s contribution to improving the lives of people globally, from building the case for climate action and reducing the threat of malaria, to understanding the multidimensional nature of poverty and tackling HIV/AIDS.
They focus on achieving impact through long-term, large-scale, and cross-funded investments. Overall, they underscore the value of a multidisciplinary approach aligned with the holistic ethos of the SDGs.
