While the pandemic has affected everyone, countries such as our, the least developed, SIDS and the countries that are in conflict or have emerged from conflict and experiencing fragility or facing other threats are affected disproportionally by the pandemic.
Thus, she believes that it is a crucial call to attention, that our survival and the survival of our planet, require us-all to join forces in collective action. The responsibilities of the partners in providing adequate financing, the transfer of knowledge, and scientific and technical know-how, are also critical elements that would enable us to fully implement the SDGs and overcome the challenges.
