The RELX SDG Inspiration Day 2025 focuses on the role of philanthropy in bridging the funding gap to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, featuring insights from prominent thought leaders. To commemorate this event, Elsevier has curated a free Special Collection with the latest research on philanthropy and the SDGs.

The chapter aligns well with multiple SDGs, especially SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑being), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), by centering structural drivers of health disparities across education, housing, and healthcare. Its focus on special populations and intersectional conceptual frameworks also supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through attention to social determinants. To strengthen alignment, the chapter could explicitly map findings to specific SDG targets and indicators (e.g., UHC, discrimination reduction, disaggregated data). Including measurable recommendations and monitoring strategies would make the contribution more actionable for SDG implementation.
