The launch is coming at a time of growing concern that governance, economic and social crises are undermining global health security.

The report by the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics will examine evidence, identify the inequality drivers of pandemic vulnerability, and offer policy recommendations for addressing those drivers. The Council is co-chaired by Nobel prize winning economist Joe Stiglitz, former First Lady of Namibia Monica Geingos, and Director of the Institute of Health Equity Sir Michael Marmot. It has brought together economists, public health experts, and current and former government leaders from around the world.
