Gavin is joined by Dr. Seth Berkley, former CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to discuss his new book, Fair Doses.

Dr. Berkley reflects on the global impact of vaccines, the ongoing challenges to vaccine equity, and the lessons learned from leading initiatives such as COVAX during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We also discuss the economics of vaccine distribution, the threat of misinformation, the promise of scientific innovation, and the future of global health preparedness, and a vision for strengthening international cooperation and ensuring that future advances in vaccine science benefit everyone, everywhere.

Gavin welcomes Walter Willett, Shakuntala Thilsted and Johan Rockström to discuss the second EAT-Lancet Commission report. The co-chairs explain the significant updates since the inaugural 2019 commission, including new global evidence on nutrition, advances in food systems modelling, and a greater focus on equity and justice.

The panel addresses the health and environmental impacts of dietary choices, the urgent need for systemic transformation, and the practical challenges of achieving sustainable and healthy food for all. Walter, Shakuntala, and Johan provide an authoritative overview of why food justice, planetary boundaries, and community engagement are central to the future of both global health and the environment.
