Description
COVID-19 has highlighted the interconnection among people, plants, wildlife, and their shared environment. Yet, no unified multilateral mechanism exists that would help operationalize a collaborative approach to prevent future global epidemics. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is proposing to developa pathway to improving international coordination. The effort would include key stakeholders with broad geographic, cultural, and demographic representation and target potential champion governments, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, and will culminate in a multilateral conference designed to chart a new path forward for health and the environment.
