Emissions indicators should be zero according to @hallegatte @worldbank. To get there: preserve ecosystems, improve agricultural productivity, reduce food waste, use water efficiently, have healthier diets #WBGMeetings #VoicesForClimate

[Margaret Allen @DCMaggie]

Production capacity and IP waivers are important issues in getting #Vaccines4All, thank you for your perspective Dr. @oliverkams during the @worldbank #AnnualMeetings2021

[Dr. Kaoma Oliver @oliverkams]

@DCMaggie @NOIweala Commitment by most African countries to rump up vaccinations is there, but vaccines ain't readily available.
I further agree with Tedros on the IP waiver, we need to use it to insure there is adequate production of vaccines. Otherwise, COVID won't end.

[Margaret Allen @DCMaggie]

Important perspective from an African doctor on #Vaccines4All

[Dr. Kaoma Oliver @oliverkams]

@DCMaggie @NOIweala I strongly agree with her submission.
Being a Medical doctor in a LMIC, it's very frustrating and equally disappointing that we have only done less that 7% of vaccination on the African continent.
My country in particular is under 3%.

[Margaret Allen @DCMaggie]

@matisridhar should be applauded for her color-coordination on set of the @WorldBank #Vaccines4All event! #AM2021 💛💛💛👕

[Margaret Allen @DCMaggie]

#Vaccines4All 3 recs: Increase spending in health systems (1% of GDP extra), create a global health fund, create a global health advisory board for future pandemic preparedness, says @NOIweala https://t.co/IA1xnR1Isu

[Margaret Allen @DCMaggie]

Only 4% of people developing countries have received the COVID19 vaccine. Vaccine financing, distribution, proper medical supplies -- and more clear delivery dates according to @DavidMalpassWBG -- will help get #Vaccines4All https://t.co/8AzbSZEbvX via @WorldBank
