Early Warning System for Future Pandemics
Overview
Despite unprecedented advances in medical science that enabled the development of novel COVID-19 vaccines and therapies at record speed, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed deep deficiencies in our ability to detect, prevent, and respond to global health threats. FasterCures has sought to bring together global health leaders and experts to advance a vision for a coordinated global early warning system to address a key gap in current global disease surveillance efforts.
2023 Global Conference Session: A Roadmap for Biosecurity
Many experts refer to climate change as a "threat multiplier" because it can exacerbate such global stressors as poverty, food insecurity, and political instability. Climate change is also linked to an increased risk of infectious diseases, as rising temperatures enable more pathogens to survive and spread. That risk is compounded as we encroach ever more on the natural habitat, creating more opportunities for human-animal interaction, thus increasing the risk for zoonotic spillover. To mitigate these risks, there must be greater coordination across and within government agencies, but the public sector cannot and should not do it alone. In this panel, experts will lay out a path to enable broader multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder collaboration in responding to the threats to global biosecurity.
