United Nations Video: COVAX: signing advance purchase agreement with Pfizer - WHO Press Conference (22 January 2021)

Related Videos On: COVAX: signing advance purchase agreement with Pfizer - WHO Press Conference (22 January 2021)

COVAX, the global initiative to ensure rapid and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines for all countries, regardless of income level, today announced the signing of an advance purchase agreement with Pfizer for up to 40 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine candidate, which has already received WHO emergency use listing. "On December 31st, the last day of last year, our COVID-19 vaccine was the first to be granted a World Health Organization emergency use listing. And today, we are proud to have this opportunity to provide doses that will support COVAX efforts towards vaccinating healthcare workers at high risk of exposure in developing countries and other vulnerable of course populations," said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pfizer. COVAX also confirmed today that it will exercise an option – via an existing agreement with Serum Institute of India (SII) – to receive its first 100 million doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford University-developed vaccine manufactured by SII. “Together, these announcements mean COVAX could begin delivering doses in February, provided we can finalize a supply agreement for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and emergency use listing for the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine. COVAX is on track to deliver 2 billion doses by the end of year," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO’s Director-General. Of these first 100 million doses, the majority are earmarked for delivery in the first quarter of the year, pending WHO Emergency Use Listing. The WHO review process, which is currently underway, follows approval for restricted use in emergency situations by the Drugs Controller General of India earlier this month, and is a critical aspect of ensuring that any vaccine procured through COVAX is fully quality assured for international use. According to the latest WHO update, a decision on this vaccine candidate is anticipated by the middle of February. COVAX also anticipates that, via an existing agreement with AstraZeneca, at least 50 million further doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine will be available for delivery to COVAX participants in the first quarter of 2021, pending emergency use listing by WHO of the COVAX-specific manufacturing network for these doses. A decision on this candidate is also anticipated by WHO in February. "Of course, we can do more and we need to do more. By our calculation with the right level of funding in place, COVAX could procure 2.3 billion doses of vaccines in 2021. This would equate to close to 1.8 billion doses for the 92 lower income countries in the COVAX Advanced Market Commitment or AMC as we call it. That's enough to protect about 27 percent of the population in those low and lower middle income countries, which is an excess of the initial targets we laid out to protect those at highest risk, and we have the prospect of more doses to come through, both other deals and the dose sharing principles that we announced in December," said Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which leads COVAX procurement and delivery. Preparations, led by WHO, UNICEF and Gavi, are already well under way for COVAX to deliver vaccines to economies eligible for support via the COVAX AMC, with Gavi making USD 150 million available from its core funding as initial, catalytic support for preparedness and delivery. Building on the work of the past months supporting country readiness efforts, a “Country Readiness Portal” will be launched by WHO this month, which will allow AMC participants to submit final national deployment and vaccination plans (NDVPs). This is a vital step before allocations can be made, to ensure that delivered doses are able to be effectively deployed and to identify where, if necessary, further support is needed. "In the coming weeks, UNICEF will begin transporting vaccines together with syringes and safety boxes to countries around the world. And we are working with airlines and freight and logistics providers to ensure safe and timely delivery," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. The COVAX Facility intends to provide all 190 participating economies with an indicative allocation of doses by the end of this month. This indicative allocation will provide interim guidance to participants – offering a minimum planning scenario to enable preparations for the final allocation of the number of doses each participant will receive in the first rounds of vaccine distribution. COVAX now has agreements in place to access just over two billion doses of several promising vaccine candidates. Negotiations continue for further doses to be secured through existing R&D agreements by COVAX co-lead the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), through evaluations of new products with promising results and through contributions from donors.

Volkan Bozkir, President of the 75th session of the General Assembly sends a message on the International Day of Education and Lifelong Learning. “This International Day of Education and Lifelong Learning is like no other, as we contend with the greatest disruption to education in the history of the United Nations.   Today, over 300 million students are out of school, and almost 1.6 billion learners have experienced a disruption in education as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.   I commend all teachers, who have adapted their classrooms and undertaken remote lessons in order to ensure continuity in education. I also applaud parents, who have done their utmost to facilitate learning at home.    Above all, I am thinking of all students around the world who are struggling to learn at home, perhaps missing their friends, feeling frustrated or despondent about the future. Do not despair. You will get through this difficult period and you will pursue your dreams.   It is up to the Member States to ensure this becomes a reality. We need to take urgent action in this Decade of Action and Delivery to invest in our education systems, including improving access to technology so that we can recover from this tumultuous period.    If we are to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all, we need to build resilient, inclusive education systems that allow all students to return to school. To do so, we must meet the needs of those at risk of being left behind. Including children with disabilities and those living in conflict-affected areas, as well as the 11 million girls who are at risk of not re-entering the classroom.    Now is the time to re-commit to education.     I thank you”.

Related Videos On: UN Chief on Education Day 2021

Video message by António Guterres (United Nations Secretary-General) on the occasion of the International Day of Education 2021 When education is interrupted, it affects everyone – especially students, teachers and families. Today, on the third International Day of Education, I pay tribute to their resilience in the face of a pandemic that, at its peak, forced almost every school, institute and university to close its doors. Although this disruption has led to learning innovations, it has also dashed hopes of a brighter future among vulnerable populations. All of us pay the price. After all, education is the foundation for expanding opportunities, transforming economies, fighting intolerance, protecting our planet and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. As the world continues to battle the pandemic, education – as a fundamental right and a global public good – must be protected to avert a generational catastrophe. Even before the pandemic, some 258 million children and adolescents were out of school, the majority of them girls. More than half of 10-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries were not learning to read a simple text. In 2021, we must seize all opportunities to turn this situation around. We must ensure the full replenishment of the Global Partnership for Education fund, and strengthen global education cooperation. We must also step up our efforts to reimagine education – training teachers, bridging the digital divide and rethinking curricula to equip learners with the skills and knowledge to flourish in our rapidly changing world. Let us commit to promote education for all — today and every day. Learn more: https://www.un.org/en/observances/education-day

United Nations Video: Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons & other topics- Daily Briefing (22 Jan 2021)

Related Videos On: Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons & other topics- Daily Briefing (22 Jan 2021)

Daily Press Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General. - Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons - New Start Treaty - Mozambique and Southern Africa - Ethiopia - Mali - DR Congo - Sahel - Darfur - Iraq - Libya - Press Briefing Monday - Honour Roll TREATY ON THE PROHIBITION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS  The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has entered into force today. This is the first multilateral nuclear disarmament treaty in more than twenty years. In a video message issued early this morning, the Secretary-General said that the TPNW is an important step towards the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons and a strong [demonstration] of support for multilateral approaches to nuclear disarmament.   He commends the States that have ratified it and welcomes the instrumental role of civil society in advancing the Treaty’s negotiation and entry into force. The survivors of nuclear explosions and nuclear tests offered tragic testimonies and were a moral force behind the Treaty, he said. Entry into force is a tribute to their enduring advocacy.   The Secretary-General looks forward to carrying out the functions assigned by the Treaty, including the preparations for the first Meeting of States Parties.    Just to add that nuclear weapons pose growing dangers and the world needs urgent action to ensure their elimination and to prevent the catastrophic human and environmental consequences they would cause.   The Secretary-General calls on all States to work together to realize this ambition to advance common security and collective safety.   NEW START TREATY  Also, on nuclear disarmament, I just wanted to make some comments relating to the latest developments surrounding the new START treaty. The Secretary-General welcomes the decision by the United States to seek a five-year extension of the “New START” treaty, as well as the Russian Federation’s reiteration that it also seeks a five-year extension.  A five-year extension will not only maintain verifiable caps on the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals, but it will also provide time to negotiate new nuclear arms control agreements to grapple with our increasingly complex international environment.   The Secretary-General encourages both States to work quickly to complete the necessary procedures for “New START’s” extension before the 5 February expiration and move as soon as possible to negotiations on new arms control measures.   MOZAMBIQUE AND SOUTHERN AFRICA The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is supporting governments across the region to prepare for, and respond to, the approaching Tropical Cyclone Eloise.  According to the World Meteorological Organization, the cyclone is expected to make landfall near Beira, in central Mozambique, early tomorrow, local time. As you will recall this is the same area that was hit by Cyclone Idai less than two years ago and the Secretary-General has visited Beira in July of 2019. We are obviously concerned about the prospects of significant flooding, particularly in Mozambique, where rivers are already at alert levels and flooding has been reported in several locations ahead of Eloise's landfall.  The Government of Mozambique is carrying out evacuations and we and our partners have deployed personnel and supplies in advance, to be ready to respond quickly. After landfall in Mozambique, the cyclone is expected to weaken but could bring heavy rains to neighbouring countries, including Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana.  Humanitarian organizations in the region are already overstretched by ongoing operations, especially in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. It is expected that more funding will be urgently needed.  Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=22%20January%202021

As a standoff between tens of thousands of protesting farmers and the Indian government continues to intensify over new legislation farmers claim will threaten their livelihoods, Taz Dhaliwal looks back at the factors that led to the demonstrations that have garnered international attention. Farmers in India have been rallying for months against three agricultural laws enacted Sept. 20 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The Indian government has argued the changes will give farmers more freedom, but farmers are concerned the new laws will drive down their products’ prices with no safeguards to protect them against corporate takeovers and exploitation.
