💬 “We have to speak the language of other sectors. We have to be smarter.”

At this week’s WHS Global Health Dialogue, co-hosted with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, highlighted a key pathway for advancing global health: ensuring that health is present when major political and economic agendas are shaped.

He emphasized that to seize this opportunity, the health community must rethink how it communicates its value, aligning its narrative with the priorities of other sectors and engaging where influence and resources are decided. Only then can health play the central role it should in building resilient and equitable societies.

The event convened senior decision-makers from European institutions, the German Bundestag, the United Nations, industry, academia, and civil society, creating a unique space for candid and solutions-driven exchange.

🇪🇺 Europe must act together.
Joint European action is essential to strengthen global health resilience and uphold Europe’s leadership in an evolving geopolitical landscape.

💬 “There is no alternative to the multilateral system as such.”

🎗️ Today is World AIDS Day

At , Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, delivered a powerful message:

Sustainable HIV/AIDS responses cannot rely on fragile overdependencies or parallel systems. They must be integrated into national health systems - orderly, cost-effective, and backed by predictable financing and truly shared global responsibility.

As the world unites under this year’s World AIDS Day theme, “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response,” the World Health Summit stands with global partners in strengthening cooperation, advancing rights-based approaches, and accelerating progress toward ending AIDS by 2030.

COP30 in Belém delivered steps but not the strides urgently needed to keep global warming in check to protect health worldwide

Read our CEO Carsten Schicker’s full take on the outcomes of COP30 here: https://www.worldhealthsummit.org/news/cop30-in-belem-analysis-by-whs-ceo-carsten-schicker-on-what-it-means-for-global-health

His key insights:

1️⃣ Progress on climate finance and adaptation
2️⃣ First-ever recognition of the health benefits of emission reductions
3️⃣ Belém Health Action Plan to support climate-resilient health systems

While these developments signal growing recognition of the severe impacts of the climate crisis on health, they remain far from sufficient to address rising climate-related health risks. The Belém Health Action Plan is a welcome step, but without broad endorsement or financing, implementation remains uncertain, especially for low- and middle-income countries with overstretched health systems.

Carsten emphasizes that action cannot wait for political momentum to catch up and reaffirms that the World Health Summit will continue to mobilize leaders across sectors to ensure health remains at the heart of climate policy.

The Global Fund raises $11.34 billion to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria

Today, the Global Fund held its Eighth Replenishment Summit. Every three years partners across governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector, and civil society convene to commit new financial resources to end AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

We are proud that Germany’s €1 billion pledge to the Global Fund was announced at the World Health Summit 2025 just a few weeks ago.

During the Opening Night, Reem Alabali-Radovan, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, announced this commitment, sending a clear signal of global responsibility and collaboration.

For more than two decades, the Global Fund has worked as a unique partnership model: mobilizing funding, supporting community-led responses, and driving progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria while strengthening health systems where it matters most.

The replenishment is more than a funding moment; it’s a renewed commitment to global solidarity and shared responsibility.
