Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS: On the Fast Track to Accelerating the Fight against HIV and to Ending the AIDS Epidemic by 2030 A/RES/70/266 Global Solidarity for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Response in Africa has played in this regard; 52. Recognize that there are still gaps in financing for HIV and AIDS and the need to further encourage technology transfer on mutually agreed terms, im prove access to medicines in developing countries and scale up capacity-building and research and development; 53. Note that many countries have the ability to invest much more than they currently do: among developed countries, only four invest a share of the total international resources available for AIDS that exceeds their country’s proportion of world gross domestic product; and that both developed and developing countries should work towards significantly increasing funding, including domestic funding, for the HIV and AIDS response; 54. Recognize that if we do not fast-track the response across the prevention and treatment continuum in the next five years, by increasing and front -loading investments and massively scaling up coverage of HIV services, so as to reduce the rate of new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths, the epidemic may rebound in some countries and we may not reach the ambitious, time -bound targets and commitments hereby set, including the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS 90-90-90 treatment targets,23 by 2020 and the target of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030; 2016–2021: global leadership on uniting to fast-track the HIV and AIDS response 55. Commit to seizing this turning point in the HIV epidemic and, through decisive, inclusive and accountable leadership, to revitalizing and intensifying the comprehensive global HIV and AIDS response by recommitting to the commitments made in the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the 2006 and 2011 political declarations on HIV/AIDS and by fully implementing the commitments, goals and targets contained in the present Declaration; 56. Commit to targets for 2020 to work towards reducing the global numbers of people newly infected with HIV to fewer than 500,000 per annum and people dying from AIDS-related causes to fewer than 500,000 per annum, as well as to eliminate HIV-related stigma and discrimination; 57. Commit to differentiating AIDS responses, based on country ownership and leadership, local priorities, drivers, vulnerabilities, aggravating factors, the populations that are affected and strategic information and evidence, and to set ting ambitious quantitative targets, where appropriate depending on epidemiologic al and social context, tailored to national circumstances in support of these goals; 58. Recognize that achieving the fast-track targets can support global efforts to eradicate all forms of poverty and inequality as well as to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which are universal, integrated and indivisible, and in this regard we should front-load and diversify resources to fast-track the AIDS response and make progress on five strategic HIV-related areas, recognizing also that investing in efforts to meet a wide range of Sustainable Development Goal targets will support efforts to end the AIDS epidemic; Front-loading and diversifying resources are critical to fast-tracking the AIDS response 59 (a). Commit to increasing and front-loading investments to achieve the fasttrack targets by 2020 as an essential milestone towards the target of ending the 11/26
