About

This public webinar was the second in a two-part workshop that examined broadly the response to COVID-19 in the U.S. and abroad. The first part, "Moving Past COVID-19," took place on March 17, 2021 and explored how analyzing COVID-19 through a syndemic approach could help contextualize health consequences and disease interactions in a population’s underlying social, environmental, and economic characteristics.

"Toward a Post-Pandemic World" hosted retrospective and prospective discussions on the broad impacts of the pandemic on human health and society. Together, the workshop sessions highlighted successes, missed opportunities, and emerging data in order to extract key understandings that leaders in governments, public health systems, the private sector, and communities can incorporate into their ongoing pandemic responses now with a view towards enhancing resilience and preparedness for future outbreaks.

About

This public webinar was the first in a series intended to examine broadly the response to COVID-19 in the US and abroad. "Moving Past COVID-19" features prospective discussions on the broad impacts of the pandemic on human health and global development; successes and missed opportunities; and key considerations that can be incorporated by the government, public health systems, private sector, and communities to enhance resilience and preparedness for future outbreaks. This first, introductory session focused on the what it means to take a "syndemic" approach to the COVID-19 crisis, and what the implications might be for global recovery.

Part Two of this workshop, "Towards a Post-Pandemic World: Lessons from COVID-19 for Now and the Future," took place on Sep 21-24 and hosted discussions on the broad impacts of the pandemic on human health and society. The workshop sessions highlighted key understandings and emerging data from ongoing pandemic response efforts that can be incorporated into current health systems to enhance resilience and preparedness for future outbreaks.
