Beyond Preparedness-Building Resilient Pandemic Architectures from the World Cup to the World at Large

​Host: PAX Sapiens

​​Focusing on anticipatory risk, innovative financing, and catalytic partnerships, this session will explore how philanthropy, the private sector, and other non-governmental actors can help design systems that detect outbreaks earlier and mobilize faster response. Drawing on initiatives such as preparedness efforts linked to the 2026 World Cup, as well as other real-time and upstream interventions, we will highlight practical approaches for strengthening global systems for pandemic prevention.
