Week 2: The Ebola Epidemic Highlights Practical and Moral Challenges for Global Institutions Blog Post
This week the commentary drew on World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim's inaugural address on January 27, where he took the Ebola epidemic as both an urgent and immediate challenge demanding timely, creative responses and as an illustration of flawed traditional approaches (mental models) that block action to achieve the goal of ending world poverty by 2030.
Dr. Kim's remarks and PowerPoint slides are now available online. Highlights from his Global Futures lecture are captured in an animated video produced by Global Futures Fellow Manny Fassihi.
