Summary

This is an institutional policy position from the WHO (June 2026) addressed to G7, G20, and BRICS leaders, focusing on finalisation of the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing annex within the WHO Pandemic Agreement. The letter advocates for strengthened international coordination on pandemic response governance and addresses documented inequities in resource access during public health emergencies. As a policy statement rather than empirical research, it falls outside Vitagri's core remit of farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, and human dietary outcomes.
