Science-based targets in sugarcane (Work Plan)

Bonsucro1

We present the work plan of our recently launched project entitled "Science-based targets in sugarcane", whose main aim is to create a mitigation pathway for the sugarcane sector to drive down GHG emissions in line with science and the goals of the Paris Agreement. Bonsucro will lead the development of a shared, sector-wide methodology and tool for monitoring sugarcane-related carbon emissions and removals. This will enable companies that operate within the sugarcane value chain to set science-based mitigation targets covering scope 1 (direct), scope 2 (indirect) and scope 3 (supply chain) emissions in sugarcane production up to the farm gate. The execution of this project will start in January 2023.

Combined strategy day session

This document discusses the development of a business plan concept for the Universal Postal Union (UPU). It provides background on the adoption of a "lowest-prioritization" mechanism by the 2012 UPU Congress to help prioritize activities and budgets.

The IB responds that the results were useful for drafting budgets but that the process gave the false impression that no resources would be allocated to lowest priority proposals. The IB provides an updated budget table and details actions taken in the lowest priority "Communication" area. It explains that Congress, not the IB, is responsible for prioritizing activities and budgets.

This document proposes a regional framework for addressing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in emergencies. It notes that almost half of countries in the region face emergencies like conflicts, natural disasters, or financial crises. People with NCDs are more vulnerable during emergencies due to disrupted health services, competing priorities, and insecurity. The framework establishes guidelines for integrating NCD care into emergency response, including continuity of services through emergency kits, and adapting delivery models across preparedness, response, and recovery phases. It calls on member states to invest in NCDs and strengthen data collection, and for WHO to support NCD integration and partnerships. The overall aim is to balance priorities and ensure NCD care

Ending polio by the end of 2023.pptx

This document discusses efforts to end polio transmission by the end of 2023. It summarizes the status of wild poliovirus and vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks in various countries. While the goal of stopping wild poliovirus transmission in Afghanistan and Pakistan by mid-2024 is now considered "off track", interruption of transmission is still possible within the next six months. However, stopping global transmission of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 will likely be missed. The document requests that regional and national commitments be sustained to stop endemic polio and help chart a pathway to protect children in Yemen.

Minimise morbidity and mortality due to trauma in humanitarian emergencies.pptx

This document discusses the public health burden of trauma in humanitarian emergencies in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). It notes that many countries in the region experience conflicts, violence, natural disasters and fragile situations that result in trauma. Trauma outcomes are often worse in low-income countries due to limited pre-hospital and hospital trauma care services. The document proposes a regional initiative to minimize trauma morbidity and mortality through coordinated leadership, workforce training programs, and support to priority fragile countries to strengthen pre-hospital services, train hospital staff in mass casualty management, and develop accredited trauma training courses. It provides some examples of initial progress made through this initiative.

This document proposes a regional approach to minimizing trauma-related morbidity and mortality in humanitarian emergencies. It notes the high public health burden of trauma in conflict-affected countries in the region like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Prehospital care is limited, over 60% of trauma deaths occur before reaching the hospital, and fatality rates are triple those in high-income countries. The proposal calls for member states to support a Regional Trauma Initiative that coordinates partners, invests in prehospital care and the health care workforce through dedicated training programs, and utilizes regional expertise to build emergency care systems and support fragile contexts.
