Annual Report ISGlobal 2024

Making health
a global reality

Foreword

Our directors’ reflections

The year 2024 was marked by accelerating change and deepening uncertainty. Global temperatures crossed the critical 1.5°C threshold, dengue cases reached record highs, and a deadly Marburg virus outbreak unfolded in Rwanda. Amid these global challenges, ISGlobal’s team of almost 600 staff and students from 50 countries continued to lead and collaborate on innovative science-based solutions to improve health outcomes, reduce inequities, strengthen resilience in times of crisis, and provide trusted, evidence-based guidance in an increasingly complex world.

Wind-Riding Microorganisms

Samples collected during airplane flights reveal that a wide diversity of microorganisms, some of them potentially pathogenic, can thrive in the troposphere – where they can travel vast distances on wind currents.
