Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease and diabetes claim over 70% of lives worldwide, yet they are not a priority in the global health agenda due to their slow and not easily detectable development.

From grassroots health services promoting physical activity to emerging digital tools for self-monitoring of metabolic levels, can harnessing place-based solutions be the key to addressing the burden of NCDs?

DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL

The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed, is in Copenhagen, Denmark, where she delivered a keynote address at the Danish Parliament on "the future of the United Nations in a turbulent world."

In her remarks, she underscored that the UN Charter remains our moral compass and called for a renewed commitment to multilateralism rooted in solidarity, international law, and human dignity. She warned against the erosion of the rules-based international order and urged Member States to protect and modernize the multilateral system, by securing peace, investing in sustainable development, and helping to reset the United Nations to deliver more effectively for people and planet.

While in Copenhagen, the Deputy Secretary-General met with Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Minister for Foreign Affairs.

They discussed Denmark–UN collaboration, including Denmark’s long-standing leadership in development cooperation (and particularly its support for the Resident Coordinator system) as well as its current membership the Security Council. The Deputy Secretary-General also met with Lars Aagaard, Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities. They discussed priorities on climate action. 

The Deputy Secretary-General also met with representatives from Nordic countries to discuss ongoing UN reforms and shared development priorities.

Tomorrow, she will travel to UNESCO Headquarters in Paris to mark the International Day of Education.

SYRIA/AL HOL CAMP

Turning to the situation in Syria, and in particular to Al Hol camp in Hasakeh. Our colleagues from the UN Refugee Agency and UNICEF tell us that yesterday their teams reached the camp following its takeover by the Syrian Government. Our colleagues tell us that the situation in the camp was tense and volatile, with reports of looting and burning. As a result, it was not possible for the mission to enter the camp. The teams, however, held a constructive discussion with the government.

The Government of Syria has expressed its willingness to provide security and support to UNHCR and humanitarian partners so that humanitarian operations can continue.

We underscore the importance of ensuring that the transfer of ISIL detention facilities presently under Syrian Democratic Forces control to the Syrian government takes place in an orderly manner, in line with international standards.
