From commitment to governance: what should the 2026 UN high-level meeting on pandemic preparedness deliver?

2026Open accessUniversity of Nairobi

Abstract

In September, 2026, world leaders will convene in New York for the second UN high-level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (PPPR).1 The first high-level meeting produced a political declaration that reaffirmed commitments to strengthen pandemic preparedness and advance equity, catalysed the WHO Pandemic Agreement negotiations, and emphasised a whole-of-government and society approach to PPPR.1 Since then, member states have amended the International Health Regulations, adopted the Pandemic Agreement, expanded preparedness financing mechanisms, and proposed reforms to the broader global health architecture.
