Abstract

This policy briefa discusses the ongoing negotiation of the ‘pandemic treaty’ that aims to improve pandemic preparedness and response by enhancing global cooperation. The challenges include a lack of inclusivity and diversity in global health governance, a need for a comprehensive and integrated approach to pandemic response, and the social position of countries that can impact the negotiation and adoption of the treaty. To address these challenges, the brief recommends prioritising equity, strengthening global health systems, investing in research and development, promoting transparency and accountability, engaging diverse stakeholders, and aligning with existing frameworks. The G20 should prioritise these principles in their individual and collective contributions to the ongoing negotiation of the pandemic treaty to ensure that the final text is comprehensive, inclusive, and effective in addressing the complex and multifaceted challenges of pandemics.
