San Diego Diplomacy Council: The Global Leadership Youth Program (Grades 9-12) Module 2: Pandemic Diplomacy: Infectious Disease as a Global Challenge

Over the past two years, the risks, costs and challenges of infectious diseases have become clear: Such diseases and viruses are a threat not only to individual countries but to the international community. As we have seen, an epidemic has the potential to spread across countries and continents, affecting every corner of the earth. Preventing the spread of outbreaks and providing access to vaccines and treatments necessitate international cooperation and coordination on a global scale. This session examines how the international community has responded to the rise of the current COVID-19 pandemic as well as other global epidemics of the past century.
