Delighted to join EU Commissioner @JozefSikela during #UNGA to spotlight global health resilience.   UNICEF welcomes the EU Global Health Resilience Initiative, which can help strengthen country-led health systems, prepare for emergencies & support children who need it the most.

The European Union has consistently defended multilateralism, international solidarity and global health. At a time when all three are under pressure, that leadership is more valuable than ever. @WHO welcomes the Global Health Resilience Initiative, putting country ownership at its centre and supporting stronger health systems that deliver essential services every day and continue functioning during outbreaks, conflict and climate shocks. Thank you, Commissioner @JozefSikela, for your leadership and the @EU_Commission’s longstanding commitment to global health security. #UNGA

We cannot build resilient global health systems only after a crisis hits. We have to build them before it hits. Our Global Health Resilience Initiative is about that. Today in New York, we announced three new investments that will strengthen global health.

Vaccine production in Colombia. A €15 million EU-backed EIB loan will help VaxThera expand production with European technology . Primary health care in Ethiopia. €60 million for new and renovated clinics, clean water, nutrition and digital health insurance in remote areas.

Development funding is shrinking while needs are growing, so our public resources must be used more effectively. That is what we do with Global Gateway, and today's strong participation from both the public and private sectors clearly confirmed it.

Defending multilateralism is not enough. We also want to shape it and make it more effective and impactful. That was the focus of my fourth day in New York. Education is one of the smartest investments we can make.

We signed €14 million for the UN Resident Coordinator System. It helps make sure that different UN agencies work as one team in the countries where they operate. Less duplication, more impact. We also signed €3 million for the UN Human Rights Office, helping to advance global human rights standards at a time when they are under real pressure.

The day was also about Global Gateway. With EU-CELAC and G7 development ministers, and with the foreign ministers of Panama and Mauritania, we discussed how to turn our partnerships into concrete investments.

En el marco de la 81.ª Asamblea General de la ONU, Honduras participó en la Iniciativa Global de Bonos Verdes de la Unión Europea, promoviendo nuevas alternativas de financiamiento para fortalecer la resiliencia climática, la infraestructura hídrica y el desarrollo sostenible.

Development cooperation works because countries work together. But the system behind it is under real pressure. Today I spoke with EU colleagues about its future. The Netherlands will keep pushing for the reforms needed to keep it strong, effective and ready for what comes next.

A busy day in New York: it started with a World Economic Forum round table on clean energy in modern industry, and ended with a discussion with President Bill Clinton on the future of clean energy investment in Central and South America.

This will unlock investment in sustainable infrastructure in cities, bringing more of it to the most fragile countries, in solutions that help them cope with climate change.

This matters for two reasons: Billions of people living in cities feel the consequences of climate change the most. Using public funds more effectively is an important step towards effective multilateralism.

Jak došlo k rozhodnutí, že končíte? Napřed došlo ke zrušení Sekce pro hospodářskou politiku, jejíž součástí jsme byli. A náš odbor byl přesunut pod Sekci rozpočet. Tam se ukázalo, že vrchní ředitel téhle sekce o nás nestojí.  Proč? Nevím. Neměl zájem o to, co děláme, to byl asi hlavní důvod.  Ministryně Alena Schillerová se do toho nezapojila? Ty evropské peníze by se daly prodloužit do roku 2027. Podmínkou byl souhlas ministryně. Bylo nám ale řečeno, že prodloužení nepodepsala a že náš tým skončí.  O co jsme tím jako stát přišli? Na ministerstvu financí je dlouhodobě problém, že jakýkoli požadavek na financování se setkává s tupým „ne“. Ministerstvo říká, že rozpočet je napjatý, nemají peníze. Přitom my jsme analyzovali potřeby státu a byli jsme schopni říct, jaké peníze navíc dávají smysl a jaké ne. Nebo jaká investice se vyplatí, protože v budoucnu ušetří státu peníze. Nebo kde se nám vyplatí zadlužit, protože se peníze vrátí. O tyto informace ministerstvo přichází a vrací se zpět do podoby ministerstva účetnictví.  respekt.cz/politika/stat-por…

Development needs are increasing. Yet the funds available to meet them are shrinking. It means that we need to use public funds more smartly and more effectively. In New York, we launched the Global Green Bond Initiative to do exactly that.

The model already delivers results. When the Dominican Republic issued its first sovereign green bond with our support, it was six times oversubscribed. We are supporting 15 countries in issuing green bonds and designing the best projects.

The demand is strong. In New York, we were joined by leaders from more than 10 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. And the President of Honduras even announced that his country will join the initiative.
