Honored to share that Germany has renewed its longstanding commitment to and partnership with CEPI, with a new EUR 100 million pledge to support our critical work over the next five years.
Germany’s renewed commitment to CEPI reflects true global leadership at a time when its importance could not be greater. The country’s sustained investment in CEPI recognizes that science and solidarity are essential if we are to defend all nations against epidemic and pandemic threats.
I am grateful for Germany’s powerful endorsement of CEPI’s critical role in making the world a safer place for all.
The threat of epidemics and pandemics hasn’t gone away; indeed, climate change, global travel and urbanization are only exacerbating the risk. That’s why continued investment in preparedness, and continued investment in CEPI, are more crucial than ever to our collective global health security.
Herzlichen Dank, Deutschland! @bmftr_bund
