The World Health Organization has established an intergovernmental negotiating body with the purpose of drafting an agreement to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. Yet the outcome may be so weak that we see less cooperation than before the COVID-19 pandemic, with devastating consequences for human life when the next global health crisis strikes.  

The panel will assess the prospects for meaningful progress, and discuss how power, politics and public opinion are affecting international pandemic response and preparedness, including the crucial question of access to vaccines and other medicines.
