Health Security

Protecting our economies and societies from climate and biological threats.

The mission of the Health Security initiative is to strengthen health system resilience to climate and biological threats.

Health Security challenges including climate impacts and emerging diseases undermine our economic growth and well-being, making it critical to effectively anticipate, prevent and respond to a wide variety of health shocks and stresses.

In response to these risks, The Forum's Health Security initiative aims to protect economies and societies from these climate and biological threats.

Through cross-sector and cross-border collaboration, we ensure partners are equipped with the knowledge, tools and networks they need to build resilient health systems.  

Our approach

Our Health Security initiative leverages four distinct approaches.

Advocacy and awareness-raising 

Ensure partners and key decision-makers understand the stakes and risks involved.

Unlocking finance

Ensure adequate resourcing to tackle these risks and scale resilience.

Driving innovation and access 

Ensure the latest technologies are leveraged to build health system resilience, in an inclusive way.

Building new partnership models

Catalyze stronger and new partnerships between public, private and civil society actors.
