Read this email in your browser Welcome to This Week. As world leaders race to vaccinate their populations against COVID-19, they face a formidable obstacle: misinformation. False claims about vaccines are increasing worldwide, exploiting gaps in education, fears over ethnic and racial divides, and a lack of trust in government. Join FP on May 25 at 11 a.m. EDT for a critical discussion moderated by FP editor in chief Ravi Agrawal, with notable speakers such as newly appointed United Nations Undersecretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming.  Next, join us on May 26 for a virtual dialogue on the growing importance of satellite technologies in volatile environments where lack of infrastructure can limit intelligence gathering and situational awareness. Experts, including the associate director for operations of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Maj. Gen. Charles Cleveland, and Simonetta Di Pippo, director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, will illuminate how satellite imagery is enabling early detection of unrest or other destabilizing events that may put critical infrastructure, assets, or local populations at risk. Finally, read an FP exclusive: Senior FP staff writer Colum Lynch writes on how it’s the golden age for women in economics and questions why the United Nations is struggling to appoint qualified women economists. Thank you for reading. UPCOMING EVENTS Virtual Dialogue: How to Stop Vaccine Misinformation  May 25 | 11 a.m. EDT Mitigating harmful content in the fight for global health Join FP and Northwestern University’s Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs for a critical discussion on how to understand, and overcome, the epidemic of misinformation getting in the way of the world’s COVID-19 response. We will explore the attitudes and histories underlying vaccine reluctance and highlight the steps that officials in government, public health, and media must take to combat the deadly spread of “fake news”—and ensure an end to this devastating pandemic.   Register   Virtual Dialogue: Using Space-Based Technology for Eyes on the Ground May 26 | 11 a.m. EDT  How satellite imagery can help manage risk and navigate volatile environments. On May 26, Foreign Policy, in partnership with Maxar, will convene a leading-edge conversation to highlight the critical role of satellite technologies in volatile environments where lack of infrastructure limits intelligence gathering on the ground. We’ll explore how the ability to have “eyes on the ground” in the form of geospatial images can provide vital, actionable insights to decision-makers across the defense, intelligence, and humanitarian sectors. Register today to join the conversation.    Sign Up   FP EXCLUSIVE Why Aren’t There More Women Economists at the United Nations? Female economists are rising to the top—everywhere but the U.N. By Colum Lynch It is a golden age for women in economics, a traditionally male-dominated field that has recently seen women appointed to the top jobs at the U.S. Treasury, the World Trade Organization, and the International Monetary Fund—the latter, twice in a row. So, why is the United Nations struggling to appoint qualified women economists? Foreign Policy’s award-winning United Nations-based senior diplomatic reporter, Colum Lynch, further explores this topic in an FP exclusive.
