The theme of the conference this year is Navigating crisis: Dangers and opportunities in development.</p><p><img src="https://www.ids.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/DSA_2024.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>The world has been experiencing profoundly unsettling times and compounding experiences of crisis in the continual unfolding of capitalist development. Alongside rising inequalities, inflation, and enforced austerity, people have been subjected to an admixture of dangers: escalating wars, polarised politics, recurring health emergencies, and deepening ecological crises. Policymakers are increasingly referring to a ‘polycrisis’, where global risks come together to exceed the sum of their parts. Yet, alongside profound dangers, crises always generate commensurate opportunities for transformation and positive change. We invite reflections on how this danger/opportunity dialectic at the heart of crisis and capitalism is playing out in the field of development.</p><p>At DSA2025, colleagues are invited to wrestle with the ways in which development theories and practices, contested epistemologies and methodological challenges confront crises and uncertainty, and contribute (or not) to new opportunities for positive change. Some potential questions to grapple with include:</p>How have development plans and visions been shaped by deepening and pervasive crises and uncertainty?How do expectations and dreams of the future impact the contested purpose of development and its many ideas of progress?IDS researchers at DSA 2025<p>Over twenty IDS researchers are presenting this year on a wide variety of panels and roundtables.

This rare event saw up to 3 to 4 inches of rainfall in less than an hour in localized areas. Multiple fatalities and extensive damage to roads, bridges, buildings and homes have been reported. Thousands were left without power and the National Guard has been mobilized to support local emergency operations.</p><p>In response to this disaster, Verizon is showing up for our customers and our neighbors in West Virginia by investing $10,000 in Appalachian Outreach, Inc. (AOI). AOI is a nonprofit that assists people experiencing poverty and disaster in Ohio, Marshall, and Wetzel counties. AOI is offering a variety of support for individuals and families impacted by the recent flooding including access to supplies, a charging station, and a comfortable place to rest and recharge. Additionally, AOI is collaborating with the Red Cross and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, to increase the number of community members they can reach directly.</p><p>"When natural disasters unfold our priority is to swiftly mobilize resources and provide support where it"s needed most," said Anthony Lewis, Region Vice President of State Public Policy and Government Affairs for Verizon. "As always, our team worked to keep our network stable so that West Virginians can continue to connect with each other during these difficult times. Our partnership with Appalachian Outreach, Inc., further enables the delivery of immediate relief and ongoing support residents deserve as they work to recover and rebuild."</p><p>“We are beyond grateful to Verizon for their compassion and commitment to West Virginia families,” said Heather Ray, Executive Director of Appalachian Outreach, Inc. “Their generous $10,000 donation comes at a time when so many in our community are hurting in the wake of devastating flash floods. This support allows us to meet urgent needs—like hygiene items, clothing, food, and cleaning supplies—while also standing beside families as they begin the long journey toward recovery. We simply couldn’t do this work without partners like Verizon who step up when it matters most.”</p><p>This investment is part of Verizon’s larger commitment to responding to disasters across the country.

Light has been shed on the atrocities committed in Ndélé in March 2020.</p><p>“However, four of the six people found guilty and given heavy sentences were convicted in absentia. Amnesty International considers that the defendant’s right to be present at their trial, to prepare their defence with their lawyer, and to address the Court directly are pillars of the right of defence, without which there can be no fair trial.</p><p>The execution of arrest warrants is essential if the fight against impunity is not to be selective.</p><cite>Alice Banens, Legal Adviser at Amnesty International</cite><p>“Several suspects who are accused of serious crimes and subject to arrest warrants from the SCC are still at large. This situation continues to deprive victims of their right to truth, justice and effective reparation. The execution of arrest warrants is essential if the fight against impunity is not to be selective.”</p>Background<p>In the Ndélé 2 case, six defendants were found guilty of crimes against humanity, including murder, attempted murder, inhuman acts and persecution, and war crimes, and sentenced to between 18 and 25 years’ imprisonment. In March 2020, the town of Ndélé, in the north-east of the country, was attacked by members of the Popular Front for the Rebirth of the Central African Republic, an armed group from the former Séléka coalition.

3189658	无图 <p>By Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International</p><p>As NATO states meet in the Hague this week, they face tough decisions that will impact the lives of millions, or even billions, around the world. If, as widely expected, they commit to increased defence spending in response to Russia’s ongoing war of aggression in Ukraine, they must ensure this is allied with strong commitments and actual measures to enhance protection of human rights and international humanitarian law.</p><p>Given the gravity of the crises engulfing the world and the need to seize every opportunity to demand that human rights protection be central to all responses, I will be representing Amnesty International at the NATO Public Forum that runs parallel to the summit, in which leaders and officials will engage with security experts, academics, journalists and NGOs.</p><p>Upon launching Amnesty’s annual report a few weeks ago, I declared it the strongest warning the organization has ever issued. There are more conflicts raging today than at any time since World War Two, inequality is rampant – both within and between states – and states are hurtling into an unchecked arms race, in the first place artificial intelligence-powered. Without concerted and comprehensive action from governments, this historic juncture will mutate into historic devastation.</p><p>The summit should result in a set of concrete measures to ensure that international humanitarian law is respected.</p><cite>Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International</cite><p>When NATO leaders sit down to discuss such challenges, they must carefully consider their responsibility to humanity.</p>Progressive taxation, no austerity measures, to fund increased defence budget<p>The Trump administration is pressuring its NATO allies to increase their defence spending to 5% of GDP – more than double the existing target of 2%. This would likely consist of 3.5% directly on military expenditure and another 1.5% on civil defence, cyber, intelligence and military-related infrastructure. Any such increases must not be paid for by cutting vital funds needed to guarantee and protect essential public services or humanitarian aid and development assistance.</p><p>Instead of pulling the rug from under the feet of those most in need of support, states should raise the requisite funds by introducing more progressive domestic taxation measures for the wealthiest and supporting global tax reform to ensure those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair share.</p><p>NATO leaders should also state loudly and powerfully that people do not have to choose between security and the protection of social, economic and political rights. This is a false dichotomy. Security and rights go hand in hand.</p>Galvanise commitment to international law<p>Respect for international humanitarian law is in deep crisis with many governments either claiming that the principles and rules of international humanitarian law do not apply to them or rewriting the rules to allow conducts that should not be permissible. Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza is compounded by the failures of its main allies to stop transferring weapons or condemn war crimes and the indescribable civilian bloodshed. Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine resulted in more Ukrainian civilians killed in 2024 than it did the previous year.</p><p>NATO leaders must not only reiterate their commitment to uphold international law and demand that their allies respect the laws of war. The summit should result in a set of concrete measures to ensure that international humanitarian law is respected.</p><p>NATO leaders should halt weapons transfers where they are likely to result in violations of international law, such as Israel and Sudan, for example. Increased military production is no excuse for states to transfer arms to countries where they pose a substantial risk of being used to commit or facilitate war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide.</p>Protect international treaties<p>The trend towards remilitarization has seen states withdraw from vital treaties protecting civilians.</p><p>Lithuania’s unprecedented withdrawal from the Convention on Cluster Munitions took effect in March 2025 and its parliament voted in May to also withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, a landmark treaty prohibiting the use of anti-personnel mines. Finland announced its withdrawal from the latter treaty in April, while Estonia and Latvia’s parliaments also voted to pull out in recent weeks. Poland’s Minister of Defence has recommended doing the same. The USA, which is not a signatory to either convention, has further undermined prohibition efforts, with the Biden administration transferring cluster munitions and anti-personnel mines to Ukraine last year.</p><p>NATO leaders must reiterate their commitment to these treaties, which are vital to protecting civilians in armed conflicts, and call on their allies to reconsider their withdrawals.</p>Regulate development of autonomous weapon systems<p>Remilitarization is also driving ever-greater use of artificial intelligence in the military domain and will likely accelerate the development of autonomous weapons systems, potentially nullifying years of efforts towards their regulation.</p><p>This arms race highlights the imperative to move on from endless debates around autonomous weapons systems and take immediate action to actually prevent us from sleepwalking into oblivion. NATO governments must adopt a clear collective position in favour of a global, legally binding treaty to regulate the development and deployment of autonomous weapons systems, including banning those that directly target and attack humans – a line we cannot cross, for myriad legal and ethical reasons.</p>Reaffirm respect for rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly<p>Over the last year, Amnesty has documented a globalized intensification of authoritarian practices and a vicious clampdown on dissent, particularly in relation to conflicts and violations of international law. Governments across the world banned media outlets, disbanded or suspended NGOs and political parties, and imprisoned critics. The world over, Amnesty has documented the criminalization and punishment of freedom of expression and peaceful protests, including through use of “terrorism” or “extremism” legislation.</p><p>The protection of universal values and human rights must be at the heart of the NATO vision and actions. This is how its founders envisioned the alliance when theyreaffirmed in its treaty “their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations”. This protection is what all citizens may expect it to deliver.</p><p>Security and rights go hand in hand.</p><cite>Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International</cite><p>NATO leaders must recognize the critical role played by civil society, human rights defenders and independent media in protecting human rights and ensuring accountability and respect for rule of law – all necessary elements for preserving peace and security. They must commit to allowing peaceful protests and guaranteeing the rights of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, as well as stopping the oppression of NGOs and recognizing their essential role in society. Governments must also protect human rights defenders and journalists from attacks, end any state-sponsored violence against them, and refrain from harassing or censoring independent media.</p><p>These are the basic steps states must take to ensure the preservation of peace and security at home and globally.</p><p>Anything less and NATO leaders will be paving the way for future crises. They cannot achieve genuine and lasting security without robust human rights guarantees.</p><p>This article was originally published in Le Monde diplomatique</p> New NATO defence commitments must not come at cost of human rights - Amnesty International	查看 7890	国际特赦项目	2025-06-23 08:00:00 2025-06-26 16:10:01	word

3189655	无图 <p>The Iranian authorities must halt all plans to carry out arbitrary executions and protect all those arrested over accusations of espionage for Israel from enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment, Amnesty International said today.</p><p>Since Israel’s attacks on Iran began on 13 June, Iranian authorities have arrested scores of people over accusations of “collaboration” with Israel, made chilling calls for expedited trials and executions, and executed one man on 16 June.</p><p>There are also grave concerns for those who were already on death row, including at least eight men sentenced to death for such accusations following unfair trials.</p><p>“Official calls for expediated trials and executions of those arrested for alleged collaboration with Israel show how the Iranian authorities weaponize the death penalty to assert control and instil fear among the people of Iran. The authorities must ensure all those detained are protected from enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment, and afforded fair trials at all times, including during armed conflict,” said Hussein Baoumi, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.</p><p>“The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment and it should not be used under any circumstances. Its use for espionage or other related offences that do not involve intentional killing is particularly prohibited under international law. A rush to execute people after torture-tainted ‘confessions’ and grossly unfair trials would be a horrifying abuse of power and a blatant assault on the right to life. The authorities must immediately halt all plans to carry out further executions or to impose death sentences and urgently establish a moratorium on all executions.”</p><p>The authorities must ensure all those detained are protected from enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment, and afforded fair trials at all times, including during armed conflict</p><cite>Hussein Baoumi, Deputy Regional Director for MENA</cite><p>Alarming calls for expedited trials and executions</p><p>Fears of arbitrary executions have mounted following alarming official statements,reviewed by Amnesty International, announcing scores of arrests across the country for alleged “espionage” or “collaboration” with Israel, along with orders for expedited trials and executions.</p><p>On 15 June, the Head of Iran’s Judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni Eje’i, instructed the country’s Prosecutor General and provincial prosecutors to punish “elements who disturb the peace and security of the people” or “collaborate” with Israel. He said expedited proceedings will “deter” people and ordered individuals be tried, convicted, and punished “extremely quickly.”</p><p>The same day, the Supreme Council of National Security, Iran’s highest decision-making body, announced that so-called actions “in favour of Israel would be met with a decisive response and the harshest punishment” of execution under the charges of “enmity against God” (moharebeh) and “corruption on earth” (efsad fel-arz), which incur the death penalty under Iranian law.</p><p>The statement explained that the actions, which the Supreme Council of National Security deems as falling under these two capital charges, include efforts to: “legitimize or sanitize the image of the Zionist regime”; “disseminate rumors or false information”; “incite or encourage individuals or groups to act against national security”; or “sow division among the segments of society, ethnicities, and religious sects of the country”.</p><p>The statement underscores long-standing concerns about the overly broad charges of “enmity against God” (moharebeh) and “corruption on earth” (efsad fel-arz), which under Iranian law permit use of the death penalty to punish the exercise of the right to freedom of expression, which should never be criminalized, and for internationally recognizable offences such as espionage that, while criminal, do not meet the threshold of “most serious crimes” involving intentional killing required under international law for the application of the death penalty.</p><p>On 17 June 2025, Iran’s parliament also approved a motion to fast-track a bill which facilitates greater use of the death penalty for “espionage” or “cooperation with hostile governments”, including Israel and the United States. Currently, the punishment for the charge of espionage is imprisonment; therefore, to pursue the death penalty, prosecutors must combine various different acts to argue that they collectively amount to “corruption on earth” (efsad fel-arz). Under this bill, “espionage” or “cooperation with hostile governments” will automatically fall under the charge of “corruption on earth” (efsad fel-arz) and incur the death penalty.</p><p>Given the Iranian authorities’ long and harrowing record of violating the rights of those detained on national security charges, Amnesty International renews its urgent calls on them to ensure that all those recently arrested are protected from enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment. All people deprived of their liberty must be granted access to lawyers of their choosing from the time of arrest and provided fair trials in line with international law, without resort to the death penalty. Those detained for their peaceful exercise of the right to freedom of expression must be released immediately and unconditionally.</p><p>Heightened risk of execution for those already on death row</p><p>Following the execution of one man, Esmail Fekri, on 16 June, in Ghezel Hesar prison in Karaj, Alborz province, after a grossly unfair trial, Amnesty International is concerned that in a misguided attempt to project strength, the authorities may execute at least eight other individuals sentenced to death in separate cases on accusations of espionage or collaboration with Israel following grossly unfair trials.</p><p>Amongst them is Swedish-Iranian academic Ahmadreza Djalali, held in Tehran’s Evin prison, who has been arbitrarily detained since 2016. A Revolutionary Court sentenced him to death for “corruption on earth” (efsad-e fel-arz) in October 2017 following a grossly unfair trial based on forced “confessions” made under torture and other ill-treatment, including threats to execute him and kill or otherwise harm his family.</p><p>Others at risk include Afshin Ghorbani Meyshani, Azad Shojaei, Edris Aali, and Iraqi national Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul, all held in Urumieh Central prison, West Azerbaijan province; Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh, held in Ghezal Hesar prison, Alborz province; Rouzbeh Vadi, held in Evin prison, Tehran province; and Shahin Basami, held in Adel Abad prison, Fars province.</p><p>Ahmadreza Djalali, Afshin Ghorbani Mishani, Azad Shojaie, Edris Aali, and Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh are all at imminent risk of execution as the Supreme Court has upheld their death sentences.</p><p>Amnesty International opposes the death penalty without exception, regardless of who is accused, the nature or circumstances of thecrime, guilt or innocence, or the method of execution.</p><p>Background</p><p>Since the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran began on 13 June, at least 224 people have been killed in Iran, including 74 women and children according to an Iranian government spokesperson.

Portable. Yours.<p>The World Health Organization is leading the digital transformation of the health sector, guided by its Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020–2025. At the heart of this strategy is the development of person-centered, interoperable digital health systems that ensure individuals have secure and seamless access to their health information. A foundational element of this vision is the establishment of robust national digital health architectures. These include Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for trusted digital credentials and the implementation of tested interoperability standards, such as HL7 FHIR and the International Patient Summary (IPS). Together, these enable the secure management of digital health wallets and verifiable health certificates.</p><p>WHO’s flagship initiative, the Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN)—initially launched with the support of the European Commission—has evolved into a global digital public infrastructure. It supports a growing range of critical health use cases, such as the Hajj Health Card and LacPass, which have demonstrated tangible benefits in improving health service delivery and enabling cross-border verification of health documents.</p><p>The importance of verifiable digital health certification has been further reinforced by amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) in 2024, which require the global acceptance of digital versions of the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) starting in Q4 2025.</p><p>To support countries in adopting these frameworks, WHO is collaborating with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to develop comprehensive guidance on a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Reference Architecture for Health. This architecture focuses on key capabilities including identity management, interoperability, secure data exchange, and the deployment of verifiable digital health wallets.</p><p>There is increasing interest among Member States in adopting standards-based solutions such as IPS, HL7 FHIR, and ICD for managing verifiable health records across a variety of use cases—from routine immunization and adolescent health records to maternal and child health cards, and applications in humanitarian settings.</p><p>A critical component of this work is the development of mechanisms to validate the compliance and interoperability of digital health solutions with global standards. This technical consultation has been convened by WHO to align ongoing efforts, review technical specifications, and coordinate strategic actions among key experts and stakeholders.</p> Technical Consultation on Verifiable Digital Health Wallets and the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network	查看 7415	世界卫生组织	2025-06-26 15:58:00 2025-06-26 15:58:02	word

3189646	无图 <p>The World Health Organization (WHO) today releasednew guidance to help countries adopt and expand midwifery models of care - where midwives serve as the main care provider for women and babies throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period.</p><p>The guidance promotes strong communication and partnership between women and midwives, and offers proven health benefits for both women and their babies. Women who received care from trusted midwives are statistically more likely to experience healthy vaginal births and report higher satisfaction with the services they receive. </p><p>“Expanding and investing in midwifery models of care is one of the most effective strategies to improve maternal and newborn health globally,” said Dr Anshu Banerjee, Director for Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Ageing at WHO. “These approaches improve outcomes, maximize resources, and can be adapted to all countries. Crucially, they also enhance women’s and families’ experiences of care– building trusted partnerships for health at this critical life stage.”</p>A proven, cost-effective solution<p>Despite progress, maternal and newborn deaths remain unacceptably high—particularly in low-income and fragile settings. Recent modelling suggests that universal access to skilled midwives could prevent over 60% of these deaths, amounting to 4.3 million lives saved annually by 2035.</p><p>Midwifery care models emphasize informed choice as well as communication and non-invasive techniques—such as mobility during labour, breathing guidance, varied birthing positions and emotional support— that seek to empower women, and reduce the likelihood of invasive procedures. </p><p>Midwifery models of care are also an important response to the growing concern of over-medicalization in childbirth. While medical interventions such as caesarean sections, inductions, and use of forceps are essential and life-saving when clinically indicated, their routine or excessive use creates short and long-term health risks. In some countries, caesarean rates now exceed 50%, suggesting high rates of medically unnecessary procedures.</p><p>“Skilled midwives help women trust in their bodies, their abilities, and their care,” said Ulrika Rehnstrom Loi, Midwifery expert at WHO and technical lead for the guidance. “This is why investing in midwifery models of care is so important – it not only improves health but builds a cadre of experts equipped to provide individualized, respectful care, ensuring women are consistently part of decision making and have access to the information they need as well as vital emotional support.”</p>Practical tools for implementation<p>The new guidance provides practical tools and real-life examples to help countries structure a transition toward midwifery models of care. As part of this process, it calls for strong political commitment, strategic planning and long-term financing for implementation -- with dedicated budget lines. It also stresses the importance of high-quality midwifery regulation and education in line with international standards, supporting autonomous, evidence-based practice.</p><p>Successful implementation requires strong collaboration, the guidance notes. Midwives should be empowered to work independently while also integrated into broader healthcare teams alongside doctors and nurses. In the event of complications, midwives should be able to work in partnership with these other professionals to ensure quality multidisciplinary care for every woman and baby.</p>A global imperative<p>Globally, millions of women still give birth without a skilled health worker by their side, and one-third do not receive even four of WHO’s recommended eight pregnancy checks. Progress in reducing maternal and newborn mortality has largely stagnated since 2016. </p><p>“Midwifery models of care are not just smart solutions - they are a necessity,” said Anna Ugglas, Chief Executive of the International Confederation of Midwives, which supported the development of the guidance. “In a world where childbirth is increasingly medicalized, they offer a person-centred, evidence-based approach that respects the physiological process of birth, restores dignity and autonomy to maternity care, and helps ensure safety for women and newborns everywhere.”</p><p>The guidance outlines several adaptable models of midwifery care, including:</p>Continuity of care, where women are supported by a known midwife, or small team of midwives, throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. Midwife-led birth centres, dedicated facilities where midwives provide intrapartum care for women at low risk of complications. They sometimes offer other services such as antenatal and postnatal care or family planning.Community-based approaches where midwives deliver services directly in communities—for example, via mobile units or local health centres. Private practice, where private midwives operate independently or through organizations. To be effective, these services must be regulated and integrated into national health systems.</p> WHO calls for global expansion of midwifery models of care	查看 5093	世界卫生组织	2025-06-18 00:00:00 2025-06-26 15:58:02	word
3189645	无图 <p>The World Health Organization (WHO) today released its first-ever global guideline on the management of sickle cell disease (SCD) during pregnancy, addressing a critical and growing health challenge that can have life-threatening consequences for both women and babies.</p><p>SCD is a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells that resemble crescents or sickles. These cells can block blood flow, causing severe anaemia, episodes of severe pain, recurrent infections, as well as medical emergencies like strokes, sepsis or organ failures.</p><p>Health risks associated with SCD intensify during pregnancy, due to heightened demands on the body’s oxygen and nutrient supply. Women with SCD face a 4- to 11-fold higher likelihood of maternal death than those without. They are more likely to experience obstetric complications like pre-eclampsia, while their babies are at greater risk of stillbirth or being born early or small.</p><p>“With quality health care, women with inherited blood disorders like sickle cell disease can have safe and healthy pregnancies and births,” said Dr Pascale Allotey, Director for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research at WHO and the United Nations’ Special Programme for Human Reproduction (HRP). “This new guideline aims to improve pregnancy outcomes for those affected. With sickle cell on the rise, more investment is urgently needed to expand access to evidence-based treatments during pregnancy as well as diagnosis and information about this neglected disease.”</p><p>There are around 7.7 million people living with SCD worldwide – a figure that has increased by over 40% since 2000. SCD is estimated to cause over 375 000 deaths each year. The disease is most prevalent in malaria-endemic regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa--which accounts for around 8 in 10 cases--as well as parts of the Middle East, the Caribbean, and South Asia. With population movements and improvements in life expectancy, the sickle cell gene is also becoming more widespread globally, meaning more maternity care providers need to know how to manage the disease.</p><p>Until now, clinical guidance for managing SCD in pregnancy has largely drawn on protocols from high-income countries. WHO’s new guideline aims to provide evidence-based recommendations that are also relevant for low- and middle-income settings, where most cases and deaths from the disease occur. Accordingly, the guideline includes over 20 recommendations spanning:</p>folic acid and iron supplementation, including adjustments for malaria-endemic areas;management of sickle cell crises and pain relief;prevention of infections and blood clots;use of prophylactic blood transfusions; andadditional monitoring of the woman and the baby’s health throughout pregnancy.<p>Critically, the guideline highlights the need for respectful, individualized care, adapted according to women’s unique needs, medical histories and preferences. It also addresses the importance of tackling stigma and discrimination within healthcare settings, which can be a major challenge for people with SCD in several countries around the world.</p><p>“It’s essential that women with sickle cell disease can discuss their care options early in pregnancy—or ideally before—with knowledgeable providers,” said Dr Doris Chou, Medical Officer and lead author of the guideline. “This supports informed decisions about any treatment options to continue or adopt, as well as agree on ways of handling potential complications, so as to optimize outcomes for the woman, her pregnancy, and her baby.”</p><p>Given the complex nature of these disorders, if a pregnant woman has SCD, the guideline notes the importance of involving skilled and knowledgeable personnel in her care team. These may include specialists like haemotologists as well as midwives, paediatricians and obstetrician-gynecologists who provide services for reproductive and newborn health.</p><p>SCD is a neglected health condition that remains considerably under-funded and under-researched, despite its growing prevalence worldwide. While treatment options are improving for the general population, the guideline underscores the urgent need for more research into the safety and efficacy of SCD treatments for pregnant and breastfeeding women – populations that have historically been excluded from clinical trials.</p><p>This publication is the first in a new WHO series on managing noncommunicable diseases in pregnancy. Future guidelines will address cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, respiratory diseases, mental health disorders and substance use. Chronic diseases are increasingly recognized as major contributors to maternal and newborn deaths and ill health.</p> WHO issues first global guideline to improve pregnancy care for women with sickle cell disease	查看 4750	世界卫生组织	2025-06-19 00:00:00 2025-06-26 15:58:02	word
3189644	无图 <p>The World Health Organization (WHO) today released its report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic 2025 at the World Conference on Tobacco Control in Dublin, warning that action is needed to maintain and accelerate progress in tobacco control as rising industry interference challenges tobacco policies and control efforts.</p><p>The report focuses on the six proven WHO MPOWER tobacco control measures to reduce tobacco use, which claims over 7million lives a year:</p>Monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies;Protecting people from tobacco smoke with smoke-free air legislation;Offering help to quit tobacco use;Warning about the dangers of tobacco with pack labels and mass media;Enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship; andRaising taxes on tobacco.<p>Since 2007, 155 countries have implemented at least one of the WHO MPOWER tobacco control measures to reduce tobacco use at best-practice level. Today, over 6.1billion people, three-quarters of the world’s population, are protected by at least one such policy, compared to just 1billion in 2007. Four countries have implemented the full MPOWER package: Brazil, Mauritius, the Netherlands (Kingdom of the), and Türkiye. Seven countries are just one measure away from achieving the full implementation of the MPOWER package, signifying the highest level of tobacco control, including Ethiopia, Ireland, Jordan, Mexico, New Zealand, Slovenia and Spain.</p><p>However, there are major gaps. Forty countries still have no MPOWER measure at best-practice level and more than 30 countries allow cigarette sales without mandatory health warnings.</p><p>“Twenty years since the adoption of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, we have many successes to celebrate, but the tobacco industry continues to evolve and so must we,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “By uniting science, policy and political will, we can create a world where tobacco no longer claims lives, damages economies or steals futures. Together, we can end the tobacco epidemic.”</p><p>The WHO Global Tobacco Epidemic 2025 report, developed with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, was launched during the 2025 Bloomberg Philanthropies Awards for Global Tobacco Control. The awards celebrated several governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) making progress to reduce tobacco use.</p><p>“Since Bloomberg Philanthropies started supporting global tobacco control efforts in 2007, there has been a sea change in the way countries prevent tobacco use, but there is still a long way to go,” said Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies and WHO Global Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases and Injuries. “Bloomberg Philanthropies remains fully committed to WHO’s urgent work – and to saving millions more lives together.”</p><p>The WHO Global Tobacco Epidemic 2025 report reveals that the most striking gains have been in graphic health warnings, one of the key measures under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), that make the harms of tobacco impossible to ignore:</p>110 countries now require them – up from just 9 in 2007 – protecting 62% of the global population; and 25 countries have adopted plain packaging.<p>WHO warns, however, that enforcement is inconsistent, and smokeless tobacco packaging remains poorly regulated. The new report is accompanied by a new data portal that tracks country-by-country progress between 2007–2025.</p><p>Despite their effectiveness, 110 countries haven’t run anti-tobacco campaigns since 2022. However, 36% of the global population now lives in countries that have run best-practice campaigns, up from just 19% in 2022. WHO urges countries to invest in message-tested and evaluated campaigns.</p><p>Taxes, quit services and advertising bans have been expanding, but many improvements are needed:</p>Taxation: 134 countries have failed to make cigarettes less affordable. Since 2022, just 3 have increased taxes to the best-practice level.Cessation: Only 33% of people globally have access to cost-covered quit services.Advertising bans: Best-practice bans exist in 68 countries, covering over 25% of the global population.<p>Around 1.3million people die from second-hand smoke every year. Today, 79 countries have implemented comprehensive smoke-free environments, covering one-third of the world’s population. Since 2022, six additional countries (Cook Islands, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sierra Leone, Slovenia and Uzbekistan) have adopted strong smoke-free laws, despite industry resistance, particularly in hospitality venues.</p><p>There has been a growing trend to regulate the use of e-cigarettes or ENDS – Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems. The number of countries regulating or banning ENDS has grown from 122 in 2022 to 133 in 2024, a clear signal of increased attention to these products. However, over 60 countries still lack any regulations on ENDS.</p><p>WHO is calling for urgent action in areas where momentum is lagging. “Governments must act boldly to close remaining gaps, strengthen enforcement, and invest in the proven tools that save lives. WHO calls on all countries to accelerate progress on MPOWER and ensure that no one is left behind in the fight against tobacco,” said Dr Ruediger Krech, Director of Health Promotion.</p> Tobacco control efforts protect 6.1 billion people – WHO’s new report	查看 5345	世界卫生组织	2025-06-23 00:00:00 2025-06-26 15:58:02	word
3189643	无图 <p>Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report 2025 finds that almost 92% of the world’s population now has basic access to electricity. Although this is an improvement since 2022, which saw the number of people without basic access decrease for the first time in a decade, over 666 million people remain without access, indicating that the current rate is insufficient to reach universal access by 2030. Clean cooking access is progressing but below the rates of progress seen in the 2010s, as efforts remain hobbled by setbacks during the Covid-19 pandemic, following energy price shocks, and debt crises.</p><p>Released today, the latest edition of the annual report that tracks progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 highlights the role of distributed renewable energy (a combination of mini-grid and off-grid solar systems) to accelerate access, since the population remaining unconnected lives mostly in remote, lower-income, and fragile areas. Cost-effective and rapidly scalable, decentralised solutions are able to reach communities in such rural areas.</p><p>Decentralised solutions are also needed to increase access to clean cooking. With an estimated 1.5 billion people residing in rural areas still lacking access to clean cooking, the use of off-grid clean technologies, such as household biogas plants and mini-grids that facilitate electric cooking, can provide solutions that reduce health impacts caused by household air pollution. Over 670million people remain without electricity access, and over 2billion people remain dependent on polluting and hazardous fuels such as firewood and charcoal for their cooking needs.</p><p>Notable progress was made in different indicators. The international financial flows to developing countries in support of clean energy grew for the third year in a row to reach US$21.6billion in 2023. Installed renewables capacity per capita continued to increase year-on-year to reach a new high of 341 watts per capita in developing countries, up from 155 watts in 2015.</p><p>Yet regional disparities persist, indicating that particular support is needed for developing regions. In sub-Saharan Africa – which lags behind across most indicators – renewables deployment has rapidly expanded but remains limited to 40 watts of installed capacity per capita on average which is only one-eighth of the average of other developing countries. Eighty-five percent of the global population without electricity access reside in the region, while four in five families are without access to clean cooking. And the number of people without clean cooking access in the region continues to grow at a rate of 14million people yearly.</p><p>The report identified the lack of sufficient and affordable financing as a key reason for regional inequalities and slow progress. To build on the achievements to date and avoid any further regressions on access to electricity and clean cooking due to looming risks in global markets, the report calls for strengthened international cooperation of public and private sectors, to scale up financial support for developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Urgent actions include reforms in multilateral and bilateral lending to expand the availability of public capital; more concessional finance mobilisation, grants, and risk mitigation instruments; improvement in risk tolerance among donors; as well as appropriate national energy planning and regulations.</p>Key findings across primary indicatorsAlmost 92% of the world’s population now has access to electricity, leaving over 666million people without electricity in 2023, with around 310million people gaining access since 2015. Eighteen of the 20 countries with the largest electricity access deficits in 2023 were in sub-Saharan Africa. The greatest growth in access between 2020 and 2023 occurred in Central and Southern Asia, with both regions making significant strides towards universal electricity access, reducing their basic access gap from 414million in 2010 to just 27million in 2023.</p>Little to no change was observed in access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking between 2022 and 2023. Although the number of the world’s population with access to clean cooking fuels and technologies increased from 64% in 2015 to 74% in 2023, around 2.1billion people remain dependent on polluting fuels and technologies. If current trends continue, only 78% of the global population will have access to clean cooking by 2030.</p>In 2022, the global share of renewable energy sources in total final energy consumption (TFEC) was 17.9% as TFEC continued to increase gradually, while installed renewable energy capacity reached 478 watts per capita in 2023, indicating almost 13% growth from 2022. But progress is not sufficient to meet international climate and sustainable development goals. In addition, global efforts must address significant disparities. Despite progress in expanding renewable capacity, least developed countries and sub-Saharan Africa had only 40 watts per capita in installed renewables capacity, compared to developed countries which had over 1100 watts installed.</p>Globalenergy efficiency experienced sluggish progress in recent years. The global trend shows that primary energy intensity, defined as the ratio of total energy supply to gross domestic product, declined by 2.1% in 2022. Although it is an improvement of more than four times the weak 0.5% improvement rate of 2021, it is insufficient to meet the original SDG 7.3 target. Going forward, energy intensity needs to improve by 4% per year on average.</p>International public financial flows to developing countries in support of clean energy increased by 27% from 2022, reaching US$21.6billion in 2023. However, the report reveals that the developing world received fewer flows in 2023 than in 2016, when commitments peaked at US$28.4billion. Despite gradual diversification, funding remained concentrated, with only two sub-Saharan African countries in the top five recipients. Debt-based instruments drove most of the increase in international public flows in 2023, accounting for 83% in 2023, while grants made up only 9.8% of flows.<p>The report will be presented to decision-makers at a special launch event on 16 July 2025 at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in New York, which oversees progress on the SDGs.</p>Quotes<p>Fatih Birol, Executive Director, International Energy Agency</p><p>“Despite progress in some parts of the world, the expansion of electricity and clean cooking access remains disappointingly slow, especially in Africa. This is contributing to millions of premature deaths each year linked to smoke inhalation, and is holding back development and education opportunities. Greater investment in clean cooking and electricity supply is urgently required, including support to reduce the cost of capital for projects.”</p><p>Francesco La Camera, Director-General, International Renewable Energy Agency</p><p>“Renewables have seen record growth in recent years, reminding the world of its affordability, scalability, and its role in further reducing energy poverty. But we must accelerate progress at this crunch time. This means overcoming challenges, which include infrastructure gaps. The lack of progress, especially on infrastructure, is a reflection of limited access to financing. Although international financial flows to developing countries in support of clean energy grew to US$21.6billion in 2023, only two regions in the world have seen real progress in the financial flows. To close the access and infrastructure gaps, we need strengthened international cooperation to scale up affordable financing and impact–driven capital for the least developed and developing countries.”</p><p>Stefan Schweinfest, Director, United Nations Statistics Division</p><p>“This year’s report shows that now is the time to come together to build on existing achievements and scale up our efforts. Despite advancements in increasing renewables-based electricity, which now makes up almost 30 percent of global electricity consumption, the use of renewables for other energy-related purposes remains stagnant. While energy intensity improved in 2022, overall progress remains weak, threatening economic growth and the energy efficiency goals agreed upon at COP28. The clock is ticking. The findings of this year’s report should serve as a rallying point, to rapidly mobilize efforts and investments, so that together, we ensure sustainable energy for all by 2030.”</p><p>Guangzhe Chen, Vice President for Infrastructure, World Bank</p><p>"As we approach the five-year mark to achieve the SDG7 targets, it is imperative to accelerate the deployment of electricity connections, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where half of the 666million people lacking access reside. As part of the Mission 300 movement, 12 African nations have launched national energy compacts, in which they commit to substantial reforms to lower costs of generation and transmission, and scale up distributed renewable energy solutions. Initiatives such as this unite governments, the private sector, and development partners in a collaborative effort.</p><p>Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, World Health Organization</p><p>“The same pollutants that are poisoning our planet are also poisoning people, contributing to millions of deaths each year from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, particularly among the most vulnerable, including women and children," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. "We urgently need scaled-up action and investment in clean cooking solutions to protect the health of both people and planet& ndash; now and in the future.”</p>About the report<p>This report is published by the SDG 7 custodian agencies, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO) and aims to provide the international community with a global dashboard to register progress on energy access, energy efficiency, renewable energy and international cooperation to advance SDG 7.</p><p>This year’s edition was chaired by IRENA.</p><p>The report can be downloaded athttps://trackingsdg7.esmap.org/</p><p>Funding for the report was provided by the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP).</p> Energy access has improved, yet international financial support still needed to boost progress and address disparities	查看 10469	世界卫生组织	2025-06-25 00:00:00 2025-06-26 15:58:02	word
