Heads of government and the ambassadors at the UN were provided with the report, in regard to the High-Level Meeting on AIDS of the UN General Assembly (8-10 June 2011). This publication is the first of a Special Global Challenges Report series; the next will be on climate change, for the occasion of the UNFCCC conference in December 2011.

Global Challenges Survey by Global2015 presented at the annual meeting of the Safe Injection Global Network of the World Health Organization
Global2015 was invited to present its Global Challenges Survey at the annual meeting of the Safe Injection Global Network (SIGN), which is hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO). 135 registered participants from 28 countries attended the conference, which lasted from the 9th to the 11th of November, 2010 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
Feedback on this first international presentation of the Global Challenges Survey was very positive, and several participants agreed to give expert reviews of the draft survey.
New estimates of the global burden of disease due to unsafe injections were also presented at the conference. With these estimates a trend in the safety of injections globally is visible for the first time - an improving one. These estimates will be taken into account in the next update of the Global2015 draft survey.
