Hear from Futures Forum co-hosts about what we are setting out to learn and how much we stand to accomplish by translating insights into action.
WHO Director-General shares his views on the seminal insights of the comparative research and how its findings, in addition to those of the Health Security Net, will help the WHO learn from COVID-19 and ultimately help leaders devise and implement more effective public health interventions.
Join for the debut of research on 23 nations’ COVID-19 responses undertaken by 78 researchers from 47 institutions across six continents. The researchers will unveil their findings on why some nations succeeded while others failed, and outline lessons learned to help navigate the ongoing pandemic and practice public health differently in the future.
Hear about the unique role the Africa CDC has played in making the COVID-19 response more collaborative and effective across the continent, creating a new model for multilateralism in confronting a public health emergency.

President of the National Academy of Medicine and member of the WHO’s Global Pandemic Monitoring Board shares what COVID-19 has revealed about the state of pandemic preparedness and what we must do differently going forward.
Join as we debut the Health Security Net, an online, searchable database with over 1,200 global reports chronicling 25 years of pandemic preparedness policy, the most comprehensive repository of its kind ever built to guide scholars and policymakers as they navigate future pandemics.
Hear from the former Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission on how we can achieve a measure of public accountability and learn from the successes and failures of the COVID-19 response, and what role a Commission—whether stood up by the government or private sector—could play in doing so.
Experts in public health and public accountability discuss the various methods from which we can learn about COVID-19 and strengthen our public health and governmental systems.
Hear from the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases leading the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Just as the virus exacerbated pre-existing medical conditions in individual bodies, the pandemic exploited and aggravated pre-existing structural weaknesses producing high vulnerability among essential workers, minorities, the poor, and underserved rural communities.
