Pandemics pose a human and economic risk in the 21st century.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused approximately 7.0 million lives deaths globally and will cost an estimated $12.4 trillion by 2024.
The risk of a pathogen emerging from zoonotic sources is increasing this century due to climate change, habitat loss converging with a growing population, and increased international travel. Old and new pathogens will continue to pose a threat throughout the 21st century.

They require political will and deep cooperation to execute and fund their development.
Such funding is a tiny fraction of the cost: the G20 High-Level Independent Panel (HLIP) calculated that global pandemic prevention could be accomplished with an investment of an initial $75 billion and a standing cost of $15 billion a year. Based on this assessment, the cost of COVID-19 could have paid for 823 years of prevention.
PAX sapiens works to fill governance gaps in three areas of pandemic prevention.
