NEW 🦠‼️ Several countries and reports have called for the creation of an Intergovernmental Panel on Pandemics. Over the last two years, we brought global health law experts together with IPCC and IPBES members, and mapped out a blueprint for its scope and governance. 🔓 https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=5088265

Well, interesting reading -- thanks for sharing!
Might have made a good addition to the club.
🗺️ Who creates the Panel? Countries? WHO? The UN?
😷 Prevention, preparedness, response, or all three?
📚 One big report or smaller, faster ones?
💡 Can it break from the IPCC and IPBES tradition of "policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive" - and should it?
⚔️ The government approval and endorsement process is a double-edged sword for downstream policy impact
⚖️ Equitable participation is key, especially in terms of diverse authors and global representation
💰 Financing is important, especially to support participation
👩⚖️ A G20 commission
🇧🇩 Bangladesh
🌍 Africa Group bloc within WHO
🌸 IPBES (the IPCC for biodiversity)
👩🔬 Scientists around the world
A Panel can be created anytime, whether through WHO or independently. The question is increasingly not whether, but when.
