2023 was the hottest year on record. So it's no surprise that the climate emergency was a big focus of last week's World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Devex's Raj Kumar sat down with several leaders to discuss how the climate crisis intersects with their work: Peter Sands, the executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; Sophie Atiende, CEO of the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery; and Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity. Together, they explore the interconnections between climate change and the issues they are focused on, as well as the urgency for action. Sands describes a visit to northern Nigeria with Muhammad Ali Pate, the country's minister of health and social welfare, where they saw “a shocking number” of children who were malnourished and severely ill with malaria. “It's a good example of how the climate change interaction is sort of multifactorial,” he said, explaining how climate change is harming agricultural productivity, leading to malnutrition, and changing the epidemiology of malaria. “The combined impact of that is more severely ill children and more deaths of small children,” Sands said. “That's the kind of thing we're still trying to understand. But my view is we need to act while we learn. We can't wait for a perfect answer; we need to be doing more in anticipation of how we see this unfolding.” Listen to the episode to hear more from Sands, Atiende, and Reckord, who joined Kumar for the Davos Dispatch podcast, recorded from WEF in Davos, Switzerland.

Martial Attitude Training and my MSc in Applied Sport Psychology research are happening! And it introduced and complemented by a new series of short podcasts exploring how touch, exercise, and confidence are perceived in the visually impaired and blind community. The first guest is Takashi, a professional viola player based in London. He explains to us how there is a good and bad way to touch and be touched.Would you like to participate too? Please keep reading, then.I am very grateful and happy to share that our funding application through National Lottery was successful! We will soon deliver a series of workshops to visually impaired/blind people, possibly in February-March 2024. As MSc in Applied Sport Psychology student at  St. Mary's University, Twickenham, my research will be a great opportunity to combine valuable research contributing to the scarce literature on the topic, and the application on the field of a significant and impactful work empowering the visual impaired community. It would be then possible to measure pre/post intervention for perceived psychological/physical well-being and confidence on top of important demographic aspects such as age and level of visual impairment, across participants. Also, interviews will be taken, and videos recorded.Imagine if you were visually impaired or blind. How is sight loss affecting your movements, posture, and your attitude towards a healthy lifestyle and other people? Is it possible to develop a training method enhanced by a solid sport psychological approach specifically tailored for visually impaired and blind people?My experience as a Sport & Remedial Massage Therapist led me to observe that visually impaired and blind people, usually suffering of overall poor posture, need specific support when addressing any kind of exercise and manual therapy as they lack full proprioception and are often live a sedentary life, aggravated by different degrees of anxiety, and depression.Combining some of the close-up techniques and tactile teaching methods derived from Kung Fu Wing Chun, that I train and teach, I have found that visually impaired and blind people can also increase their confidence and self-efficacy in controlling their immediate surroundings when in a new environment or in contact with strangers.A notable client registered as blind that I have been working with for over two years is Peter Sands, Chairman of the London Sports Club for the Blind, provided the following reference: “The training has personally helped me to feel confident in crowded situations, be aware of my posture alignments and overall has improved my balance.” Pre-pandemic, Peter and I have also recorded a presentation of the work done together, which you can watch clicking HEREBuilding onto these observations, I created Martial Attitude C.I.C., I qualified as Gym Instructor, and I undertook biomechanics for all three years during my undergraduate at Roehampton University to gain the psychological/biomechanical foundations and to learn about the different methodological approaches that could be integrated in Martial Attitude training for visually impaired and blind people. If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and visual impairment or if you would like to join in the upcoming Martial Attitude Training workshop early next year, please do keep in touch, via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available in the Instagram link in bio. Sincerely,Mathias AlbertonCreator and Director at Martial Attitude C.I.C.MSc in Applied Sport Psychology Student at St. Mary's University, Twickenham, London, UK.

Episode 3 of a special six-part series of Lloyd's List Podcasts examining how the war in Ukraine has had a lasting impact on different aspects of the shipping industry. This episode examines the impact on shipping markets. To listen to the full series go to: http://bit.ly/3KbnQpS After three years of pandemic shutdowns, reopening booms, war, clogged supply chains and nascent inflation, it's hard to remember what a normal market looked like, if ever such a thing has ever existed. But Russia's invasion of Ukraine has had a profound impact on global trade. As we recorded this special edition of the podcast economic growth forecasts for 2023 were once again being revised downwards, partly due to high interest rates and inflation in many economies, but much of the current global macro picture stems directly from the negative global economic spill overs from the war in Ukraine. But the war has also acted as a powerful catalyst for a rapid and often chaotic shift in oil flows, sending tanker rates, and tonne-miles, soaring to previously unseen levels. Featuring on this edition of the podcast: • Niels Rasmussen, chief shipping analyst at BIMCO, offers a view on the overall impact that the war in Ukraine has had on the shipping markets. • Peter Sands, chief analyst at Xeneta, talks about the knock on impact that the war has had on container trades.

This special episode of HIV unmuted, the award-winning IAS podcast, marks World AIDS Day, which has taken place on 1 December every year since 1988. On this day, we remember the people we have lost, reflect on how far we have come, and rally together to strengthen our resolve in the HIV response.  The latest UNAIDS data from 2021 shows our approach must change: 70% of new HIV acquisitions globally occur among key populations (gay men and other men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers and their clients, and trans people) and their sexual partners.  If we are to ever really tackle the persisting inequalities that fuel the HIV pandemic, our approach must change: we must put people first.  In this episode, we expand upon the UNAIDS theme, Equalize, by looking closely at addressing the continuing inequities in the HIV response in a context of limited resources. At a time when we have colliding pandemics, the climate crisis, and rising fuel and food prices, our guests share what takes to put people first. Meet our guests: Yvette Raphael is the Executive Director of Advocates for the Prevention of HIV in Africa. She tells us how important World AIDS Day is to her personally and calls upon the scientific community to put people first in HIV research.  Peter Sands is the Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, one of the largest funding mechanisms in global health. He talks about the ‘pandemics of the poor' and explains how putting people first must be an approach, starting with what is being funded.  Gaston Devisich & Romina Mauas are a client and healthcare provider from the IAS Me and My Healthcare Provider campaign. Gaston nominated Romina for being a healthcare champion who made a tangible difference in his life by putting him first in the face of discriminatory practices and belief systems.

In this episode Katherine speaks with Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, about the ways in which the Fund has expanded its grant-making activities to support lower and lower-middle income countries in responding to Covid-19. Noting the importance of ensuring continuity of HIV, TB, and malaria services while addressing the Covid-19 outbreak, he insists that health emergency preparedness cannot be funded at the expense of ongoing infectious disease programs. Rather, HIV, TB and malaria efforts must be viewed as essential elements of strong health systems and can serve as platforms for pandemic planning and activities designed to protect society from new infectious pathogens.

Pandemics pose significant macroeconomic costs but only recently have garnered the attention they deserve. In this podcast, economist Ruchir Agarwal, sits down with Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, to discuss the role of macroeconomics in public health preparedness. Agarwal heads the IMF's Global Health and Pandemic Response Taskforce. Transcript: https://bit.ly/32KapKk Read the F&D article at IMF.org/fandd

In this event, Mr Sands discusses how to enhance Global Health Preparedness for the Future. He highlights the impact of the disruption by the COVID-19 pandemic on the treatment of other infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria and the substantial set-back it poses to recent progress in public health systems in Africa and elsewhere, particularly in this decade of action for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. He also explores methods to counter this impact and to be better prepared for the future. This is the second event in the 2021 Development Matters lecture series, co-organised by the IIEA and Irish Aid. About the Speakers: Peter Sands has been the Executive Director of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria since March 2018.

A Conversation with Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund. The Global Fund is actively working to raise and deploy money in the fight against COVID-19, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The knock-on effects of COVID-19 are creating a perfect storm and progress made in the fight against the world's deadliest infectious diseases – HIV, TB and malaria – is under serious threat. In 2020 alone, the economic downturn could also push up to 115 million additional people into extreme poverty. What will it take to fund and deliver an equitable global response?

At this week's virtual CID Speaker Series event, Catalyzing Global Leadership to Contain the Impact of COVID-19 we are joined featured guest Peter Sands, Executive Director of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis after his appearance at the virtual JKF Jr. Forum on October 28, 2020. How do we galvanize a global response to COVID-19 that truly leaves no-one behind? So far OECD countries have mobilized over $10 trillion for their own domestic responses, but foreign aid to low and middle countries remains broadly flat. Will we succeed in making everyone safe from COVID-19, or will we replicate what we did with HIV and tuberculosis, the two most recent big pandemics affecting humanity, which are largely eliminated as a public health threat in rich countries, but still kill millions in poor, vulnerable and marginalized communities?

Peter Sands is the Executive Director of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, a multilateral organization that invests $4 billion a year to combat these three epidemics — and this year, too, COVID-19.   To put that in perspective, the Global Fund serves as the single largest provider of external health financing for all the low- and middle-income countries in the world. A significant proportion of these resources go toward equipping health systems to respond to crises exactly like this one. And yet, as we discuss, much of the world has been found unprepared for COVID-19— while the political wrangling between the United States and other key leaders jeopardizes any type of coordinated response. Peter and I cover a lot of ground in this episode — from the uneven impact of COVID-19 around the world, to the complications it poses for existing global health campaigns like those against TB and malaria. We also discuss why the private sector should be incentivized to invest in pandemic preparedness, and how Peter’s past as CEO of Standard Chartered Bank has informed his response to questions about the pandemic’s economic costs.   Links of interest: For more on the Global Fund, check out: https://www.theglobalfund.org/en/ Peter’s post, “When Finance Fails: Why Economists Didn’t See a Coronavirus Collapse Coming”:: https://www.theglobalfund.org/en/blog/2020-03-25-when-finance-fails-why-economists-didnt-see-a-coronavirus-collapse-coming/ Peter’s editorial on the necessary parallels between the 2008 financial crisis and today’s public health crisis, and how we must invest robustly in global health security: https://www.ft.com/content/c8eae26c-6204-11ea-abcc-910c5b38d9ed Want to learn more about the show?

In this episode, Peter Sands, executive director of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, joins Steve and Andrew in exploring the chasm separating the world of finance and economists from that of public health, the extraordinary threats the pandemic poses to historical gains in development and global health, and the rapidly evolving role of the Global Fund in racing to support partner countries in their response to the coronavirus.  

As the deadly COVID-19 virus spreads rapidly across the globe, the world is desperate for information and insight. Fortune is hoping to provide some of those insights through past interviews with leading health experts. Peter Sands is the executive director of the Global Fund - an organization created to fight three of our deadliest infectious diseases: malaria, tuberculosis and H-I-V – AIDS. These three diseases kill more than two-million people each year.

All this week, Fortune is revisiting some important health conversations that reporters and editors have had with industry leaders and experts around the world. Experts like Peter Sands, who is the Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Sands sat down with Fortune’s President and C-E-O, Alan Murray, last spring and told him the GOOD news is: the world has proved it can beat big diseases.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was created in 2002 as a partnership between governments, philanthropies and civil society.  At the time, these three diseases were completely out of control, killing millions of people each year and with no end in sight.  17 years later, thanks in large part to the Global Fund, we can imagine the end of AIDS, TB and Malaria.  Deaths from these three diseases have declined precipitously. Instances of infection have also declined--though not as sharply as mortality rates. In all, some $32 million lives have been saved through the Global Fund, which is essentially a pool of money that is strategically disbursed in select countries to reduce instances and deaths from these diseases. The way this money is raised is from contributions from donors, the most significant of which are countries. And in late October in Lyon, France the Global Fund held a pledging conference in which it sought to raise a minimum of $14 billion to cover its operations over the next three years.  And as my guest today Peter Sands explains it was something of a nail-biter in Lyon as to whether or not they would hit that goal.  Peter Sands is the executive director of the Global Fund. And in this conversation he takes us behind the scenes at that donor conference.  We discuss progress against those three diseases, how the global fund works and why of those diseases Tuberculosis has been the most difficult to confront.      

In April 2019, a youth-led panel with representatives from youth and student organizations and global health leaders took place at our house in Stockholm. Before the panel, we hade the opportunity to sit down with Peter Sands (Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) and Dr Seth Berkley (CEO of Gavi the Vaccine Alliance) to discuss their respective work and personal engagement in global health. It became an interesting dialogue spanning over sustainable development goals, barriers to gain impact to achieve the 2030 agenda, the role of stakeholder engagement and reigniting global solidarity. We hope you enjoy it! The panel Securing long and healthy lives for generations to come – a youth-led conversation was co-organized by the student organization network of the Swedish Institute for Global Health Transformation and the student and junior doctor section of the Swedish Society of Medicine. In the panel participated: Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (WHO Director-General) Peter Sands (Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) Dr Seth Berkley (CEO of Gavi the Vaccine Alliance) Rosaline Marbinah (president of the National Council of Swedish Youth Organisation) Matilda Stjernqvist (secretary-general of IFMSA-Sweden) Erik Engelhardt (president of Effective Altruism KTH) Moderators were Hana Awil (global health secretary, Swedish Society of Medicine’s student and junior doctor section) and Alma Pflucker Karlsson (student coordinator, Swedish Institute for Global Health Transformation)

The mega-philanthropist is in Davos lobbying governments and the global business elite to donate money towards the fight against infectious diseases. But is the world's second richest man the best person to spearhead this effort?Ed Butler speaks to Mr Gates about why he considers it critical that the US and other rich world governments continue to finance efforts to fight Aids, malaria, polio, TB and the like. Meanwhile, Peter Sands - executive director of the Global Fund, one of the four major health initiatives that Gates is backing - explains why any let-up in the fight could be very costly indeed, particularly for the developing world.But the philanthro-capitalism embodied by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation faces increasing criticism. Sophie Harman, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, expresses her qualms about their lack of accountability, while historian Benjamin Soskis of the Urban Institute in the US says the very willingness of Gates to lobby for good causes is raising questions about why wealthy individuals should wield such influence over public policy.Producer: Laurence Knight(Picture: Bill Gates; Credit: Alessandro Di Ciommo/NurPhoto via Getty Images)

For criminals looking to sell drugs, fund terrorism, evade taxes or bribe government officials, cash is king. That's why a growing chorus of academics and policy makers want to do away with high-denomination bills around the world, culminating last week in the European Central Bank's decision to stop printing the 500 euro note. But does this put us on a slippery slope toward a cashless society, where Big Brother can monitor our every financial move? Tori and Aki discuss with Peter Sands, a senior fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School and the former CEO Standard Chartered Bank, whose research helped spark the debate.

Could eliminating high denomination bank notes cut crime? Peter Sands, former CEO of Standard Chartered, believes so
