Carnegie Council Calls on International Community to Participate in Global Ethics Day on October 19

Individuals and organizations will take action to address society’s most critical issues by empowering ethics

New York, July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The ninth annual Global Ethics Day, an initiative of Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, will be celebrated on October 19, 2022. The theme is “Ethics Empowered.”

In an increasingly polarized world, ethics can be used to improve our daily lives, strengthen communities, and address some of society’s most pressing challenges such as climate change, the global refugee crisis, attacks on democracy, inequality, and more.

On #GlobalEthicsDay, Carnegie Council invites citizens, businesses, professional organizations, schools, governments, and nonprofits from across the world to demonstrate their commitment to using ethics as a force for good. Activities may include debates, panels, social media campaigns, exhibits, videos, pop-up events, and so much more.

In 2021, more than 170 organizations and institutions in 45 countries participated in the international day of ethical action. Last year’s Global Ethics Day highlights include:

  •  Real estate company Jones Lang LaSalle engaging over 2,000 employees in ethics-related activations, including town hall discussions held by local offices;
  •  Global nonprofit The Nature Conservancy taking to social media to discuss the importance of ethics using #GlobalEthicsDay;
  •  PepsiCo releasing a series of #GlobalEthicsDay videos featuring its executives discussing the importance of ethical standards across the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry;
  •  The International Council of Nurses launching a revised code of ethics in response to COVID-19; and
  •  The Research Ethics Program at the University of California, San Diego holding virtual events examining ethical questions in medicine.

“These are challenging times – war in Europe, refugees on the move, a persistent pandemic, climate change worsening, and democracies on the brink. As realists without illusions, we believe that empowering ethics can break the doom and gloom cycle and help each of us find a way toward positive action in our daily lives,” said Carnegie Council President Joel Rosenthal. “Global Ethics Day provides opportunities to listen, learn, and contribute to a worldwide dialogue on the values and principles we care about in 2022. This year, we hope and expect that new voices will enrich Global Ethics Day with ideas for empowering ethics now and into the future.”

Those interested in participating in Global Ethics Day 2022 should visit Carnegie Council’s website to access resources such as key messages, a social media toolkit, and suggestions for ways to participate in this year’s event. Organizations are encouraged to share Global Ethics Day plans with Carnegie Council for amplification on social media (TwitterLinkedInInstagram, and Facebook) and in Global Ethics Day events and materials.

For the latest on all things Global Ethics Day, be sure to subscribe to the Carnegie Ethics Newsletter, which will feature additional announcements on special programming and activations from Carnegie Council ahead of October 19.

Join us and help use the power of ethics to build a better future.

The Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute and the Pasteur Network Partner to Strengthen Global Disease Surveillance

WASHINGTON and PARIS, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute (PPI) and the Pasteur Network have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance early detection and reporting for emerging and reemerging diseases and build a robust decentralized global surveillance network that strengthens local capacity for sharing high-quality data across countries. The collaboration aims to enhance the effectiveness of the Pandemic Prevention Institute and the Pasteur Network’s 33 member institutions in both addressing infectious diseases, such as COVID-19 and monkeypox, and informing interventions against them.

“Our work with the Pasteur Network will undoubtedly make a transformational impact on global health security, leveraging the ability to advance equitable data-sharing practices that will provide key stakeholders and decision-makers with timely, more accurate and relevant information to make critical health and policy decisions,” said Dr. Rick Bright, CEO of The Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute. “Our collective aim is to advance access to pathogen surveillance, genomic sequencing, analytics, and data sharing tools in low- and middle-income countries and to foster sentinel laboratory networks for early disease detection.”

“This MoU is a major milestone in our collaboration with The Rockefeller Foundation and the PPI that could lead to significant impact in epidemic and pandemic preparedness. Together, the Pasteur Network and PPI are an effective combination of complementary talents and capacity to address global health threats said Dr. Amadou Sall, President of the Pasteur Network.

“We are proud to support this initiative. This important, historic partnership will provide much-needed support to capacity building and epidemic intelligence,” said Professor Stewart Cole, President of the Pasteur Network foundation that contributes to the Pasteur Network’s development.

Over the coming years, the partnership will focus primarily on the following areas:

  • Advancing global equitable data sharing to provide key stakeholders and decision-makers with an analytical toolset that leverages timely, more accurate and relevant data and information
  • Bolstering epidemiological and genomic surveillance in low- and middle-income countries to track emerging pathogen variants and transmission for real-time analyses, as well as advancing access to pathogen surveillance and analytical tools, such as digital apps
  • Enhancing discovery of emerging and reemerging high consequence pathogens, generating a diversity of essential disease surveillance data streams in areas such as zoonosis, anti-microbial resistance and water borne diseases
  • Building fit for purpose data analytics and disease discovery and forecasting systems, informed by the organizations’ partner networks, that are relevant, sustainable, and equitable at the local, state, and pan-regional level

The partnership will also focus on interdisciplinary research projects addressing the causes of outbreaks and epidemics. The combined networks will maintain local and regional structures to foster a permanent operational force and share technologies, systems, practices, and techniques with their networks.

Madagascar: Further information: Teacher released but conviction upheld: Jeannot Randriamanana

On 10 May, human rights defender Jeannot Randriamanana – who had been in arbitrary detention for two months- was granted provisional release. On 12 July, the Court of Appeal of Fianarantsoa upheld his conviction and two-year suspended sentence on the charges of “defamation and humiliation of members of Parliament and public servants and identity fraud”. Jeannot Randriamanana was convicted solely for the peaceful exercise of his right to freedom of expression when he denounced on Facebook the alleged mismanagement and embezzlement of humanitarian aid by several authority figures in the district of Nosy Varika, in east Madagascar.
