SUMMARY:The Davos Agenda
DESCRIPTION:About The Davos Agenda: Nearly two years after the start of global disruptions due to COVID-19\, economies\, societies and organizations are continuing to grapple with the unpredictable trajectory of the virus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the week that participants were meant to come together in Davos – 17-21 January 2022 – the Forum will instead host “The Davos Agenda”\, a series of virtual plenaries aligned with the Annual Meeting objective of orienting global leaders on the imperatives of the year ahead. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Davos Agenda features a mix of visionary “state of the world” special addresses and ambitious high-level leadership panels focusing on critical collective challenges\, the Davos Agenda will mobilize heads of state and government\, business leaders\, international organizations and civil society to share their outlook\, insights and plans relating to the most urgent global issues. The meeting will also provide a platform for connection\, enabling the public to watch and interact\, through livestreamed sessions\, social media polling and virtual connections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadically different pandemic experiences have exacerbated generational\, geographical\, political and economic divides. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobal responses are lacking and the pandemic’s trajectory – as well as a range of other global challenges – will remain unmanageable unless leaders execute solutions together. Now more than ever\, the world needs to come together. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by wef\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Is vaccine nationalism undermining the global economic recovery?
DESCRIPTION:Bringing the pandemic to an end in 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs vaccine nationalism undermining the global economic recovery? It has been 2 years since COVID-19 first struck\, leaving a devastating trail in its wake. In the first 12 months of the pandemic\, the global economy shrunk 3.2% while global trade is estimated to have fallen 5.3%. While 2021 has seen many developed countries begin their economic recovery\, a report by the International Chamber of Commerce has warned that letting the developing world fall behind could cost the global economy US$9.2 trillion. Although advanced economies have committed to sharing resources\, recent figures show that six times as many booster jabs have been given out in high-income countries compared to first jabs in low and mid-income countries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe global target to vaccinate 70% of people in all country income categories by September 2022 is going to require a huge shift in momentum\, and at the current rate\, this wouldn’t be achieved for over a decade. Vaccine distribution remains a key issue\, as is the absence of a global plan to tackle this global pandemic. If significant progress isn’t made towards ending the pandemic everywhere in 2022\, particularly with dangerous new variants continuing to emerge\, the global economic impact could be devastating. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis digital webinar\, hosted by the Financial Times and in partnership with the ONE Campaign\, will explore the issues facing the pandemic response in developing countries and what high-income countries can do to accelerate the recovery process in these regions. We will discuss how achieving vaccine parity could be a key driver on the road to recovery for the global pandemic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda – Vaccine nationalism undermining the global economic recovery?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks from FT Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow will the continued spread of COVID and the emergence of new variants impact the global economic recovery? Is vaccine equity the answer to preventing new mutations?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the dangers of ignoring the uneven recovery of the global economy?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat must be done to ensure that the global target set to vaccinate 70% of people in every country by September 2022 becomes a reality\, and what’s at stake if it’s not done?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBesides the 70% target\, what do we need to achieve at the Global Vaccine Summit in February? What does success look like\, and what’s needed to get there?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat investment in healthcare and manufacturing infrastructure is needed to aid developing countries’ recovery?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQ&A with audience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing remarks from FT Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-lifestyle/ \n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
