UN75 one-minute survey Q1 What should the international community prioritise to recover better from the pandemic? Each respondent could select up to three responses. Base: 729,550 respondents (as of 22 April), Central & Southern Asia (234,576), Eastern & South-Eastern Asia (75,182), Europe (100,916), Latin America & Caribbean (49,591), North America (21,207), Northern Africa & Western Asia (56,888), Oceania & Antarctica (13,405), Sub-Saharan Africa (174,397).


PARTICIPANTS IN DIALOGUES HELD ACROSS THE WORLD DISCUSSED THE URGENT NEED FOR GREATER INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC
Dialogue participants discussed the role that the United Nations and Member States can play to foster cooperation and collaboration, including through:
- Increased dialogue between countries and all stakeholders, including NGOs
- Identifying common purposes between communities, and across societal and generational divides
- Better coordination with government and donor agencies
- Encouraging social responsibility
- More partnerships with local communities and relevant stakeholders
- Engagement with volunteers, and investment in initiatives that up-scale up volunteer efforts

It is of paramount importance that the recovery must be built upon the spirit of humanity. The lesson we learnt from the pandemic is that literally no one is safe unless everyone is safe, telling us about the necessity of leaving no one behind in the process. Most of the participants thought that rethinking the global economy is central to the re-launch after the pandemic. Such process should happen by prioritising help distribution to the communities that suffered the most. For that to happen, participants in this event firmly believed that international organisations must be modernised to deliver better results and put solidarity to the core of the cooperation.

DIALOGUE PARTICIPANTS ALSO DISCUSSED THE NEED TO TACKLE INEQUALITIES AND TO RE-THINK THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
- Prioritise protection and support to vulnerable populations
- Invest in and use research and solutions that will lead to more effective policy solutions to eradicate inequalities
- Lead the fight against COVID-19-related discrimination and foster inclusivity, including for vulnerable groups

We need to rethink the global economy making sure that human rights are a central element, and having the primary goal [be] to address inequalities... we need to reshape the way we measure success and growth in our companies and countries, going beyond GDP and going beyond profit margins.
