Would a pandemic treaty make the world safer? (No, but it might make some countries richer)

Negotiators are meeting in Geneva to discuss a new pandemic treaty, plus changes to a decades-old agreement called the International Health Regulations (IHR). Much of the proceedings are happening behind closed doors and the public isn’t being accurately informed. Researcher James Roguski explains why the pandemic treaty and the IHR amendments are more about trade than health, why they are so contentious, and why governments are rushing to get them agreed in the next few months. Plus, he shares ways you can take action.
