New Ideas to Tackle Coronavirus – Global Dashboard takes up the Challenge
by David Steven, Alex Evans | Apr 6, 2020
Big challenges demand big ideas, and at Global Dashboard we’re ramping up our content in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the coming days and weeks, the site will feature a series of new articles by authors old and new, as well as guest pieces by experts on public health policy, resilience, psychology, international relations, justice and more.
The relaunched, redesigned site will act as a platform for the bold new thinking called for by longstanding contributor Ben Phillips. We will look at short-term responses to the immediate public health emergency as well as longer-term ideas for getting the world back on its feet and better able to respond to future shocks.
Our contributors have already started generating ideas for tackling the pandemic in the coming months: read our roundup of ideas for tackling COVID-19 in the short term.
