, Prevailing against pandemics by putting people at the centre, in eastern Europe and central Asia provided a platform for the proposal of a joint revision of social and legal enablers in the region to achieve the proposed 2025 targets. UNAIDS Cosponsors, governments and civil society partners presented their views on the issue and the joint action to be taken.
Based on the regional data, the 90-90-90 treatment cascade in the region is far off the targets, having reached only 70-44-41. Lev Zohrabyan, the UNAIDS Strategic Information Adviser for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, noted that one of the reasons for this is late diagnosis: in 2019, 55% of all new HIV cases in the region were registered in the later stages. In his opinion, it shows that testing strategies need revision and require enabling societal conditions.

From 8 to 10 March UNESCO coordinates tsunami preparedness in the Mediterranean and North-Eastern Atlantic
Format
The countries bordering the North-East Atlantic, the Mediterranean and adjacent seas will take part from 8 to 10 March in a tsunami preparedness exercise, set up under the aegis of UNESCO s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO). The exercise marks the 10th anniversary of the Tohoku earthquake in Japan, which caused a deadly and devastating surge on the north-eastern coast of the island of Honshu, leading to the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The aim of the exercise is to assess the local action plans to respond to the risk of tsunamis, to increase preparedness for such events and to ensure good overall coordination between the communities and competent authorities. Called NEAMWave21, this will be the fourth such exercise, following those of 2012, 2014 and 2017. A similar exercise is planned for 12 March in the Caribbean.
