"#COP15 is the single most important chance for global decision-makers to use the evidence and expertise that has been so widely shared to tackle both the direct and indirect drivers of #biodiversity loss—for people & #ForNature."🌺

[Valeriane Thool @valeriane_thool]

C’est une première: le Groupe #Académique & #Recherche a pu faire une déclaration à la #COP15 lors de la séance plénière du jour. Toutes les études scientifiques démontrent que la perte de biodiversité est sans précédent et aura des répercussions importantes sur les humains.

🌍 According to the WHO, 30% of the world’s population still cannot access essential health services. Everyone, everywhere, should have access to quality care without fearing financial hardship. #UHCDay #UHC #globalhealth

To end #malaria, we need to keep investing in new tools, incl. new types of nets, insecticides, drugs and vaccines https://t.co/FJiopc1Chl

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

According to the new #WorldMalariaReport, countries largely held the line against malaria despite major challenges from COVID-19.

A world free of #malaria is in our sights but requires renewed energy, new tools, increased funding, and political commitments at all levels.

[Zero Malaria @ZeroMalaria]

Today @WHO has released the latest #WorldMalariaReport. This year’s report confirms that malaria remains a deadly threat for millions of people. Learn more about the global challenge to end malaria 🦟 here: https://t.co/dG1CGIAVd2
