Covid and Ukraine war were major setbacks in pursuit of global development goals, philanthropist admits, but cutting back on aid would be ‘tragic’

Since the Covid pandemic, Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates have put another $20bn into their foundation, bringing the total endowment to $70bn.Since the Covid pandemic, Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates have put another $20bn into their foundation, bringing the total endowment to $70bn.Last modified on Tue 13 Sep 2022 05.58 BSThe figures are bad, progress has stalled and all the trends that had been building hope in the world becoming a fairer place are showing sharp about-turns.

A mother waits for her child to receive a measles vaccination at a clinic in Harare, on September 6. The death toll from a measles outbreak in Zimbabwe which began in April has risen to 698, the country’s health ministry said.

“I think it is starting to die down,” he said. “I hope so, it’s tragic if it made people more reluctant to trust vaccines or to wear a mask where they should have., and internationally it was more just me because they didn’t know who Tony was, he really missed out on that! “But the fact that they are facing, because of climate change, far more difficult growing conditions than ever and that that climate change was completely caused by rich-world greenhouse gas emissions … if the world is at all serious about climate adaptation as opposed to mitigation, then we’d certainly be funding a seed research system. We’d be fully funding that.”has attracted criticism

Gates has what has been described as an “evangelical” attitude towards gene editing technology. “Africa needs to feed its rural populations, it needs to feed its urban populations, and when you get food shortages, it’s not just the malnutrition and potential starvation which is bad, you also get incredible instability and that feeds into not being able to build infrastructure or run your education system.
