It argues that piecemeal national responses cannot address a global, systemic emergency, and calls for coordinated action. Proposed measures include open markets for food and energy, expanded liquidity, debt relief, and additional capital inflows, and a link to long-term goals through climate mitigation and adaptation efforts and renewed multilateral cooperation.","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 FIFTH MEETING WASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 22, 2022  \nDC/S/2022-0026 April 22, 2022  \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  \n105th Meeting of the Development Committee  \nApril 22, 2022  \nWashington, DC  \nThe war is supercharging a three-dimensional crisis—food, energy and finance—that is pummeling some of the world’s most vulnerable people, countries and economies. This isnot a crisis that can be solved piecemeal, country by country. This global and systemic emergency requires global and systemic solutions.1  \nUN Secretary General Antonio Guterres  \nSummary: The war in Ukraine is leading to an unprecedented three-dimensional crisis –impacting food, energy and finance—that can only be addressed systemically. The UN development system makes a call to address the impact of this crisis on developing countries, and on the poorest and most vulnerable populations around the world. First, food and energy flows require open markets, lifting unnecessary export restrictions, that allow the directing of surpluses to those most in need. Second, international financial institutions need to expand liquidity, debt relief and additional capital inflows to dozens of countries that are affected by food and energy spikes and have limited fiscal space. Finally, governments need to connect these immediate measures with the long run. This includes addressing energy market challenges by responding to the Paris Agreement’s urgent demands on climate mitigation and adaption and bridging the current crisis to reboot the Sustainable Development Goals, setting the stage for a renewed multilateral system.  \nWar in Ukraine, COVID-19, climate change  \nThe war in Ukraine is causing destruction, loss of life, and a large-scale humanitarian and refugee crisis in Ukraine and the region. Its repercussions are global. The compound effects of this conflict, the COVID-19 crisis, and the impacts of climate change have worsened the world economic outlook for 2022. The IMF projects that global growth will be 3.6% in 2022, 0.8% of GDP lower than the January projection.  \nThis rapidly evolving situation is alarming for developing regions and especially for the most vulnerable countries and populations. Many of them are particularly exposed to the war in Ukraine and its effects on rising food, fuel and fertilizer prices, heightened financial volatility, lower sustainable development investment, complex global supply chain reconfigurations and disruptions and mounting trade costs.  \nThe impact of the war comes on top of the damage done by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already triggered a humanitarian crisis. Since 2019, the number of people experiencing severe hunger has increased to 265 million; 77 million additional people were driven into extreme poverty by the end of 2021, thus affecting 889 million people worldwide; by the end of 2021; the equivalent of 212 million jobs have been  \n1 [https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/speeches/2022-04-13/press-remarks-launch-of-report-entitled-global-impact](https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/speeches/2022-04-13/press-remarks-launch-of-report-entitled-global-impact)of-war-ukraine-food-energy-and-finance-systems  \nlost; the number of children lacking basic literacy has increased to 584 million; and, in addition to the loss of 6.2 million lives to COVID-19, millions more people have seen their right to health being curtailed as a result of overstretched healthcare systems. At the same time, ensuring vaccine equity around the world is unfinished business.
