Evaluating the Governance of Emergent Pandemic Zoonoses
Coordinated governance is critical to prevent future pandemics. We need actionable evidence that focuses on the regulation of wildlife trade from which SARS and SARS-CoV-2 are believed to have emerged.
Connecting the social, legal and cultural dynamics that affect the regulation of wildlife trade in countries where zoonotic epidemics and pandemics emerged is needed.
Our research evaluates the governance gap in stewardship of international wildlife trade and implications for food and health security by analyzing the intersection of global biodiversity, environmental, agricultural and public governance systems.
