It outlines urgent United Nations actions to prevent divergence from becoming systemic, covering vaccine access targets, debt measures including DSSI extension and creditor inclusion, and climate financing priorities ahead of COP26, emphasizing green, just post-COVID transitions and continued support for vulnerable economies.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE  \n(Joint Ministerial Committee  \nof the  \nBoards of Governors ofthe Bank and the Fund  \non the  \nTransfer of Real Resources to Developing Countries)  \nONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 15, 2021  \nDC/S/2021-0068 October 15, 2021  \nStatement by  \nAchim Steiner Administrator of the United Nations  \nDevelopment Programme  \nUnited Nations  \nU N I T E D N A T I O N S  N A T I O N S U N I E S  \nStatement by  \nAchim Steiner  \nAdministrator of the United Nations Development Programme  \nUnited Nations  \n104th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nOctober 15, 2021  \nWashington, DC  \nGlobal decision-making is fixed on immediate gain, ignoring the long-term consequences of decisions—or indecision…[…] As a result, we risk a future of serious instability and climate chaos. Humanity faces a stark and urgent choice: breakdown or breakthrough. 1  \nUN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres  \nThe global outlook has deteriorated –with the rapid spread of the delta Covid19 variant, supply chain constraints, a rise in energy and food prices and inflationary pressures all driving further divergence in the global economy. The following actions are urgent to ensure this divergence does not become systemic, hampering the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:  \n• On vaccines: The United Nations system supports urgent action to extend vaccine coverage to 40% of the population by end of 2021 and 70% by next year. The Multilateral Leaders’ Task Force (MLTF), comprised of WHO, WTO, WBG and IMF heads, has made specific recommendations for releasing supply, distributing vaccines, and addressing financing gaps in favour of developing and emerging economies; the WHO provides further implementation guidance in its “Strategy to Achieve Global Covid-19 Vaccination by mid 2022”;  \n• On debt and SDRs: Debt distress in developing economies is increasing and threatening to derail global recovery prospects. The DSSI should be extended through 2022, and include all liquidityconstrained countries that request assistance; the Common Framework, focused on solvency and debt restructuring, is also welcome but needs to include private creditors on equal terms to succeed and should provide for standstills for countries that approach it once the DSSI is expired; finally, SDR voluntary channeling by advanced economies should aim to leverage SDRs for maximum impact on health, debt and climate challenges; Middle Income Countries should be included in all liquidity and debt relief efforts, with the acknowledgement that GDP remains an insufficient metric of vulnerability;  \n• On climate commitments and financing: COP 26 is at our doorsteps and the most recent IPPC report puts humanity on ‘code red’: the $100bn a year climate financing target for climate mitigating and adaptation in developing countries is within reach; the UN welcomes raised ambition on Nationally Determined Contributions, but calls for more work on financing and technological transfers to accelerate green and just transitions in developing countries; the UN Secretary General has called for ending subsides on fossil fuels and seeing more progress on carbon pricing, as appropriate to country circumstances, and job skilling and re-skilling programmes to prepare workers for the green economy.  \n1 [https://www.un.org/sg/en/node/258971](https://www.un.org/sg/en/node/258971)  \n1. State of the world: delta variant, growth divergence and SDG reversals  \nFrom the climate crisis to geo-political tensions and the persisting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the current prognosis seems bleak. However, our future can be better with collective action, political will, and scaling up investments in a green, equitable and just post-COVID world. The SDGs can still be achieved and reversals due to the COVID-19 pandemic can be undone.  \nWhile global economic growth forecasts have been revised downwards slightly,
