Global threats to health in the 21st century an opus, 59 page comprehensive dissection of all the threats we face.
This report from the Lancet Commission on 21st century global threats to health lays out a foresight-driven, health-focused approach to identifying and prioritising major threats to global health over the remainder of the century. We argue that recent global shocks (including COVID-19, Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease, major geopolitical conflict, accelerating climate impacts, rapid shifts in development assistance, and the emergence of powerful artificial intelligence [AI] systems) show how quickly assumptions about stability can be overturned—and why governments and multilateral institutions must counter short-termism and localism with systematic, repeatable risk assessment and preparedness planning.
