Vulnerability and Resilience During the Corona Pandemic
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called the corona pandemic the greatest crisis of our age.

Guterres speaks of a choice: When the crisis is eventually over, we can either go back to how things were before, or we can resolutely set about changing the things that make the world vulnerable to pandemics.
