Fragmented World |
February 14, 2026, 9:30 A.M. CET |
Epidemics and pandemics remain a persistent threat to global health, economic stability, and security—yet preparedness remains siloed and underfunded. As scientific advances and the 100 Days Mission accelerate vaccine readiness, Foreign Policy and CEPI will convene leaders at the 2026 Munich Security Conference to examine how security/defense, health, science/innovation, development, and finance can align to close preparedness gaps before the next crisis. |
