Excellent news from Geneva, where a first consensus on the Pandemic Agreement was reached last night.

We have learnt the lessons of COVID.

To beat a pandemic, you need tests, treatments and vaccines.

And you equally need solidarity and global cooperation.

IT'S BACK!

It's a good sign to see organizations like @agu.org prioritize the values of the members that have built (and are continuously building) them. Watching the words and actions of scientific societies is not a one-time thing; it takes continued effort from the scientific community.
