The United Nations (UN) General Assembly High-Level Meeting (HLM) on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (PPPR) was a missed opportunity to bring high-level commitment and momentum to the global governance of health emergencies. Intended to bring much-needed attention to a policy issue that is rapidly slipping down the international agenda, the fraught diplomacy among member states, lack of consensus on key issues, and weak UN Political Declaration in New York foreshadow a difficult road ahead for upcoming negotiations under the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. This column chronicles the evolving engagement of the UN in global health governance, examines the diplomatic process leading to the UN HLM on PPPR, and assesses the contributions and missed opportunities of its resulting Political Declaration.
联合国（UN）大会预防、准备和应对大流行病高级别会议（HLM）错失了为全球卫生突发事件治理带来高层承诺和动力的机会。此次会议旨在引起对一个政策问题的关注，该问题正在迅速从国际议程中滑落，而成员国之间充满争议的外交、在关键问题上缺乏共识，以及在纽约发表的一份软弱无力的联合国政治宣言，预示着在日内瓦举行的世界卫生组织（WHO）即将进行的谈判将面临艰难的道路。本专栏记录了联合国在全球卫生治理方面不断发展的参与情况，考察了导致 UN HLM 举行的外交进程，并评估了其产生的政治宣言的贡献和错失的机会。
