Preparing for the Next Crisis: The Pandemic Accord
ML&P has been closely following the process towards the creation of a new international instrument to better prevent, prepare for and respond to the next pandemic. We called for the negotiation of a pandemic treaty in May 2021 in a background paper to the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, and our experts have been active participants in the World Health Organization process towards the creation of such an instrument since it was launched in December 2021.
Below is a collection of resources that ML&P has pulled together to help guide negotiations and advise those who want to see a robust, public health instrument that can prevent another experience like Covid-19.
