The UNAIDS 2016–2021 Strategy is a bold call to action to get on the Fast-Track and reach people being left behind. It is an urgent call to front-load investments. It is a call to reach the 90–90–90 treatment targets, to close the testing gap and to protect the health of the 22 million people living with HIV who are still not accessing treatment. It is a call to redress the deplorably low treatment coverage for children living with HIV.

This 37th meeting of the PCB comes at a critical moment in our history—and for our future. It is timely that we are meeting so soon after the world adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and has collectively committed to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030. When we proposed this deadline, people thought it was a dream. But thanks to your passion and leadership, the world has embraced it as an achievable goal.

Shared responsibility and global solidarity for an effective, equitable and sustainable HIV response for the post-2015 agenda
