 We face a global health emergency. The unprecedented spread of COVID-19 is disrupting lives and economies in every part of the world. It will impact every one of us, and the sum of individual actions won't be enough to stop it. Gathering actors from the public, private sectors and civil society to work towards a common goal has been at the heart of the World Economic Forum's work for almost 50 years. This is why we are launching the COVID Action Platform, a unique coalition that will address the crisis in three main ways. First, activate the global business community for collective action by improving coordination between them and sharing insights and best practices. Second, protect everyone's livelihoods and ensure business continuity by sharing the latest tools to assess risks, maintain operations and protect employees. Finally, engage business for the COVID-19 response by strengthening the supply chains for medical equipment and funding the development of vaccines, treatments and cures. There are many ways you can contribute and join the COVID Action Platform. Find out how on wef.ch forward slash COVID Action Platform.
