A World Bank's study states that the influence of major natural disasters is equivalent to a global loss of $520 billion in annual consumption and pushes some 26 million people into poverty per year. For most situations, a successful response program eliminates perceived effects and facilitates 'rapid recovery,' minimizing accumulated impacts on public safety and the economy in general. Recently, debates on a successful post-covid19 economic and social recovery are progressing. Regarding how to recover better, the Covid19 pandemic has shown that SDGs are not only important to low-and middle-income nations but all countries around the world. In addition to the various suggestions from expects, Anastasia Gage inferred the use of trickle-down effects from global, regional and local behaviour. She recommended that national governments should invest in emergency services and that more focus should be paid to those who are usually affected by unexpected circumstances such as covid19.

Coronavirus vaccine: profits Vs public health. The European Commission has raised at least €9.8 billion for a Coronavirus Global Response. It's President Ursula von der Leyen promised that any future vaccine would be “our universal, common good.” echoing UN's António Guterres who said that #COVID19 vaccine must be considered "a global public good. Not a vaccine for one country or one region". However, a crucial question posing a dilemma for both the pharmaceutical industry and politicians around the globe is already emerging: which countries will be served first with a vaccine? Whoever wins the race to come up with a successful coronavirus vaccine will also win massive profits. But while the industry vows to make a vaccine globally accessible, not all are on board with that idea, watch.

In the Republic of Korea, the government has taken women's public participation a step further. This has contributed to major rises in the number of women in the South Korean National Assembly over the last 20 years. Women's representation in all public bodies is not less than 20%. Has the representation of women in South Korea reflected the changing gender norms in the country? Dr. Sengeh also highlighted the vital position of the Male Engagement Strategy. He points out the need for "male role models" to support the changing of gender norms in the world. Also, how do we make sure that women are involved in the decision-making phase of the Covid-19? How about the role of education in the transformation of the GBV, gender roles and the re-victimization of women?

Based on my readings and analysis of scholarships on a wide variety of peacekeeping activities, I have come to understand that the recognition of past peace-keeping flaws alone will not increase the chances of success. Rather, the understanding of the cultural norms of the host nation is an added value. The representative of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines also warned against universalizing human rights components in a way that ignores local cultures and traditions — threatening national peace efforts — and stressed the need to respect the sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of the host country.

Economist Mariana Mazzuca “We have to do all we can not to go back to normal, normal is what got us into this mess”Reviewing the implications of the COVID-19 crisis on economies and vulnerable groups is critical to guide and tweak the responses of governments and stakeholders in order to recover from the crisis. Given that, how are governments responding? How critical is addressing short-termism in the business community-value extraction amidst the current pandemic?

Is high GDP related to low vulnerability? “The importance of changing our classification during this crisis is fundamental and crucial.” The pandemic has severely affected MICs and small island states that are dependent on tourism. Regardless of the income levels of some of these countries, travel controls have had an impact on GDPs. Vera Songwe suggests we reconsider the current GDP-based country classification as the pandemic has demonstrated that high GDP does not mean less vulnerability.
