Pandemic response from page 10
global governance institutions, our response to the Covid pandemic has been primarily an every nation-state for itself affair. If we are to win this campaign against Covid, we need to empower, update and democratize the United Nations, the World Health Organization and Covax. We must use this crisis to bring us together, rather than tear us apart. Our world has a globalized economy, and we can communicate effortlessly across borders and continents. Unfortunately, our international governance institutions have not grown or reformed to meet the challenges of the 21st century. With these facts in mind, I volunteer with Citizens for Global Solution, a non-profit organization whose mission has been to help nations solve problems that no nation can solve alone. These problems include the pandemic, global warming and nuclear weapons. If we are to win the real world game of Pandemic, we must strengthen and reform our global institutions in order to apply a global cooperative response, rather than our current patchwork approach of every country for itself.
