In May 2022, the ISGlobal organized meeting A PR³ Challenge brought together scientific experts, practitioners and decision makers to discuss the best way to incorporate lessons learned from different environmental and public health crises into future all-hazards preparedness plans at global, regional, national and local levels.

The experts in environmental and public health crises highlighted that there are lessons learned, challenges and strategies common to all hazards. For example, the need to engage with and build trust in the community, the importance of developing a multidisciplinary approach that also considers the impact on mental health, society and the economy, the need to have pre-approved protocols for collecting and sharing data, the value of available networks of experts that can provide quick advice on specific crises, or the importance of international coordination and governance. During the event different initiatives were presented. These initiatives were being developed or already existing to assist with the response to different crises.

The objectives of this co-organized by ISGlobal and Gaspar Casal Foundation (FGC) 2023 meeting are:

• Doing a follow up of the work being done in PR³
• Working on strategies that facilitate the access to tools and protocols that are not systematically being used by experts in preparedness and response
