Pandemic Prevention Initiative

Current Initiative

Overview

The Pandemic Prevention Initiative has united 40 partner organizations, spanning sectors and regions, in support of an early warning system to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. We bolster local, regional, and global institutions, elevating national expertise and leadership. Our efforts are concentrated in three key areas: technology and innovation, capacity-building, and global policy.

Signs of a major disease outbreak can show up in the most unexpected places. To prevent another pandemic, that data needs be quickly interpreted, and the findings shared, so people at every level of society can make smart decisions that save lives.

Why it Matters

Climate change amplifies epidemics and raises the risks associated with pandemics. The Covid-19 pandemic reshaped the world’s economic, political, and environmental course. To mitigate future threats, the world needs a multisectoral, intercontinental, collaborative, interdisciplinary, and highly dedicated approach.
