DESCRIPTION: With COVID-19 vaccines beginning to flow, many global-risk experts worry nations may lose track of the grander challenge: acting systemically, and systematically, to curb pandemic risk on a hyper-connected planet.
Join Sustain What host Andy Revkin in a solution-focused brainstorm with psychiatrist and sustainability scholar Jonathan Salk, who co-wrote “A New Reality - Human Evolution for a Sustainable Future” with his father, the famed vaccine pioneer and humanitarian Jonas Salk; Tara O’Toole, an epidemiologist, biomedical and intelligence technologist at the intelligence-focused venture firm In-Q-Tel; and Roman Krznaric, a philosopher who writes about the power of ideas to change the world, most recently in “The Good Ancestor.”
