Engaging Mayors in Pandemic Preparedness
International and national leaders have worked to develop high-level plans to prepare for pandemics. However, city mayors and other municipal leaders have traditionally not been engaged in these initiatives. This, despite the vital role they play in the response to and recovery from outbreaks.
Whether acting independently and collaboratively, municipal-level stakeholders have a clear incentive and compelling opportunity to make a meaningful global impact by engaging with pandemic preparedness initiatives. We are working with the Global Parliament of Mayors (GPM) to realize this aspiration and improve pandemic preparedness in cities around the world. |
