With wars and military conflicts across the world, trade tensions and attacks against multilateralism, the world's capability to address existential threats like climate change is being reduced.
Humanity has strong ability to address climate change and take the necessary climate action. But this requires cooperation and ability to overcome divides and borders. We could make much more progress and make achievements by 2030 in these regards.
However, as the world is facing wars, trade tensions, more protectionism and nationalism, it is more prone to failure. This failure will come with economic, environmental and social costs as it will be affected by more extreme weather, more severe migration crises caused by climate change, and global pandemics.
No country can prevent this or slow it down alone. To do so, countries need to go back to building a global village of cooperating nations, put aside divides and work together to address global issues that are existential threats to humanity.

Ousted #CDC Director Susan Monarez revealed she was pressured to preapprove #vaccine recommendations from #RFKJr. hand-picked advisory panel, which replaced 17 #fired #experts with vaccine skeptics. Monarez refused, saying #science, not #ideology, must guide decisions, and was #purged after resisting #political interference.#publichealth #vaccines #medicine #pandemics #healthcare https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/ousted-cdc-head-says-she-was-pressured-preapprove-vaccine-panel-recommendations-2025-09-04/ #science #medicine #publichealth #covid19

A(#H2N2) and A(#H3N2) #influenza #pandemics elicited durable cross-reactive and protective #antibodies against avian #N2 #neuraminidases, Nat Commun.: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49884-9
The anti-AIV N2 antibodies titers correlate with antibody titers to the 1957 N2, suggesting that #exposure to the A(H2N2) virus contribute to this reactivity. These findings underscore the critical role of neuraminidase #immunity in #zoonotic and pandemic influenza #risk #assessment.
