Join us for a webinar and Q&A with special guest Charles Kenny to discuss his most recent book, The Plague Cycle, and why global cooperation during any public health crisis is essential. Charles is a senior fellow and the director of technology and development at the Center for Global Development.

Last year, we saw countries close their borders as they worried about containing the virus’ spread. Governments around the world limited trade and worked to bring critical supply chains related to medical and food production back within their borders. But was this the right response?

Detailing the history of humanity’s struggle with past plagues, Kenny argues the best response is global collaboration, not isolation. He notes the potential for international cooperation on cures and limiting the spread of disease is the best response to future public health issues, such as the global effort to develop the critical COVID-19 vaccine. We need more examples like this if we want to successfully limit the spread of future novella diseases and viruses.

The event was recorded on February 17 at 11 am MT (1 pm ET).
