The New Face of Pandemic Preparedness: 2025 Report
Care - Measure - Cooperate
Overview
The 2025 GPMB report, The New Face of Pandemic Preparedness, emphasizes the urgent need to transform global health security in a world that is experiencing new volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity while still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pandemics have profound and lasting impacts, which extend beyond health to disrupt economies, societies, and governance systems. Despite advances in science and technology, the world remains vulnerable to future pandemics due to persistent inequities, mistrust, and underinvestment in preparedness.
A paradigm shift is needed. The 2025 GPMB report is anchored in three fundamental recommendations to drive preparedness for pandemics, as well as epidemics and outbreaks, in a volatile world: care, measure and cooperate.
