    Pathways to an Intergovernmental Panel on Pandemics: lessons from the IPCC and IPBES
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-10-09) Carlson CJ; Trisos CH; Oppenheim B; Bansal S; Davies SE; Diongue-Niang A; Fan VY; Kraemer JD; Golden Kroner R; Gostin LO; Hayman DTS; Koopmans M; Lavelle TE; das Neves CG; O'Donoghue Z; Pereira LM; Roche B; Sirleaf M; Zamanian K; Zambrana-Torrelio C; Phelan AL
    Pandemics pose a global threat to human wellbeing, justice, economies, and ecosystems and are comparable with other planetary crises such as climate change and biodiversity loss in terms of urgency and impact. The global community would benefit from a dedicated scientific synthesis body to assess pandemic risks and solutions. In this Personal View, we explore proposals for an Intergovernmental Panel on Pandemics and assess potential pathways to its creation. Learning lessons from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) might help national governments and international organisations to chart a course through important decisions about format, governance, operations, scientific scope and process, and ability to recommend policies that make the world safer.

    The concept of a sustainable livelihood affords protection from crises and protects people, including future generations. Conceptually, this paper serves as a study protocol that extends the premises of decent work to include and integrate criteria that benefit people, planet, and prosperity. Existing measures of sustainability principally serve organisations and governments, not individual workers who are increasingly looking for ‘just transitions’ into sustainable livelihoods. Incorporating extant measurement standards from systems theory, vocational psychology, psychometrics, labour and management studies, we con ceptualise a classification of livelihoods, criteria for their sustainability, forming a study protocol for indexing these livelihoods, a set of theory-based propositions, and a pilot test of this context-sensitive model.
