The warm heart of Africa, #Malawi is called. It delivers, despite being ranked the world’s fourth poorest country. Today I have visited Education + vocational training funded by @norad @NorwayMFA and implemented with @UNICEF @WFP_Malawi @UNFPAMalawi and @giz_gmbh Hopeful day!

“The risks posed by climate change could dwarf those of any single disease." @DrTedros, Director General of @WHO, reacts to today’s internationally published editorial on climate change & health. Read more about why it’s time for world leaders to act for a #HealthyClimate:

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

“It has been clear for decades that the Earth’s climate is changing, & the role of human influence on the climate system is undisputed,” said #IPCC Working Group I Co-Chair Valérie Masson-Delmotte on the #IPCC’s #ClimateReport, released today.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

In the past few weeks, devastating fires have impacted many people's lives. If we continue business as usual, the risks posed by #ClimateChange could dwarf those of any single disease. We will end the #COVID19 pandemic, but there's no vaccine for the climate crisis.

WHO publishes amount each donor should be paying of the global #COVID19 bill. Only 5 countries have given their fair share, @WHO tracker shows. @jarottingen @KStoreng @glassmanamanda @stefanswartpet @kateelder @pritikrishtel @fifarahman @RajThamotheram https://t.co/V1T5dmbmzD

#Corruption thrives in times of crisis. Corruption also has the potential to “jeopardize the success of #COVID19 vaccination programmes” said @JohnBrandolino, UNODC Director of the Division of Treaty Affairs

It's clear we need to increase funding to prevent future pandemic threats. Important ideas on how to do that fairly from @jarottingen and colleagues.

The moral case for the @Gavi #COVAX Advance Market Commitment is clear: protection against #COVID19 should not depend on where you live. We are all in this together and no country can fight this pandemic alone. #OneWorldProtected https://t.co/x6NhzJECNk

Foreign aid rose in a year that saw all other major flows of income for developing countries–trade, foreign direct investment and remittances – decline due to the pandemic.Norway gave a record NOK 39.5 billion in aid to dev. countries in 2020 - 1,11 % of the gross national income

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Intensive care units in many countries are overflowing and people are dying – and it’s totally avoidable. With a concerted effort to apply public health measures alongside #VaccinEquity, we could bring this pandemic under control in a matter of months. The choice is ours.
