ID 24652 | 27.09.2025 Attached

Through technical consultations with countries and partners, WHO has led the development of Preparedness and Resilience for Emerging Threats Module 1: Planning for respiratory pathogen pandemics. The Module, builds on previous pandemic lessons and guidance, and has the following new elements:

• It presents an integrated and efficient respiratory pathogen pandemic planning approach covering both novel pathogens and those known to have pandemic potential;
• It enables coherence in addressing pathogen-agnostic and pathogen-specific elements for better preparedness;
• It gives an organizing framework including operational stages and triggers for escalation and de-escalation between pandemic preparedness and response periods;
• It contextualizes 12 IHR (2005) core capacities within the five components of health emergency preparedness, response and resilience (HEPR), from the respiratory threats perspective; and
• It describes the critical sectors for respiratory pathogen pandemic preparedness to trigger multisectoral collaboration.
