#Ebola
Since May 17, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has officially been facing an Ebola outbreak that has caused more than 1,300 cases and 401 deaths, mainly in the conflict-ridden Ituri province. In support of national authorities, the international community is mobilizing to respond to the outbreak. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, have joined forces to provide incentives for the development of a vaccine. The WHO is coordinating the start of clinical trials for two treatments, while the Pandemic Fund and the World Bank are mobilizing $220 million and $243 million, respectively, to fill gaps in the response. The first case reported in Europe involved a humanitarian doctor from the NGO ALIMA who tested positive for the Ebola virus. The French NGO is continuing its fight against the epidemic and says it is working closely with health authorities.

#GlobalJustice
A plan to reconcile prosperity, equality, and planetary boundaries. Presented at the World Inequality Conference in Paris, the Global Justice Report argues that it is possible to ensure a high level of well-being while respecting planetary limits by 2100. According to the report, this goal rests on three inseparable conditions: the rapid decarbonization of energy systems, a shift in production and consumption patterns toward greater sufficiency, and a substantial reduction in inequality. The authors propose a roadmap that simultaneously combines global wealth redistribution, reform of the international financial architecture, transformation of energy systems, and changes in consumption habits. Read the report.

#ClimateGovernance
Women play a central role in climate change adaptation, community resilience, and environmental protection, but remain underrepresented in climate decision-making bodies. The GWL Voices report, Women in Global Climate and Environmental Leadership, provides an overview of their representation within major multilateral climate and environmental institutions. Drawing on more than three decades of data and testimonies from women leaders, the report highlights the progress made and the persistent barriers to more representative climate governance.

#Peace
Global peace continues to deteriorate, according to the 2026 Global Peace Index, published by the Institute for Economics & Peace. Military spending is rising for the tenth consecutive year, and 119 countries are less peaceful than they were in 2008. While the number of conflict-related deaths has declined from the peak recorded in 2023, it remains at its second-highest level in nearly twenty years. Conflicts are also becoming more global: 103 countries have been involved in at least one conflict outside their borders over the past five years, compared to 59 in 2008.

#GenerationEqualityForum
As the financial commitments made during the Generation Equality Forum in 2021 reach their deadline, UN Women analyzes the 50.3 billion dollars in commitments and 21 billion dollars in spending mobilized in support of gender equality over the past five years. However, the report highlights significant inequalities in the allocation of funding: feminist, local, and youth-led organizations remain underfunded, with an estimated shortfall of 577 million dollars for youth organizations. The report calls for more flexible, predictable funding that is directly accessible to grassroots actors in order to sustainably strengthen the rights of women and girls.

#HIV
UNAIDS is warning about the risk of a resurgence of the HIV epidemic worldwide. According to its latest report, cuts in international aid, combined with increasing restrictions on human rights in several countries, are weakening prevention, testing, and care services. In 2025, HIV testing declined by 22% in some high-prevalence countries, while access to prevention tools such as PrEP and condoms has sharply decreased, threateningthe progress achieved. UNAIDS warns that without renewed commitment and concrete action, the epidemic could rise again.
