In addiction to the immediate, human suffering caused by the disease itself and the loss of
livelyhoods for millions, the COVID-19 pandemic has also several key vulnerabilities of our
societies and economic system. Global interconnected has helped to create huge economic
and social benefits for decades, albeit unequally, but also facilitated the rapid spread of the
pandemick. More broadly, the speed and depth of the economic crisis have shown that a core
principle of the global economy – prioritising short-term economic growth and efficiency over
long-term resilience – can have huge societal costs. The precariousness of long and complex
, global value chains has been revealed, with many countries struggling to acquire medical and
other strategic singing supplies. Socialinequalities have been exposed and rapidly
exacerbated by the massive but uneven loss of employment, with the equivalent of more than
300 million jobs pontentially at risk (ILO, 2020[2]). Although this is not the first economic crisis
to expose these frailties the depth and breadth of the current circumstances have brought the
issue of resilience and preparedness high in the public consciousness.
