Abstract

The world has been experiencing the most crucial phase with consequences of COVID-19 pandemic, conflict, and anomalous climate (3C) vexing in to hopeless fall in socioeconomic conditions especially so in the low-and-middle-income group of countries (LMIC). 3C triggered colossal price shoot-up in elementary provisions, food and fuel, and surge in cost of subsistence reducing individual ability for out of the pocket expenditure for buying health resulting in non-utilization. The concomitant intricate multifaceted assault on civilization leading to interminable suffering needs an arrest through united and novel efforts to bring forth a peaceful, healthy and habitable world. Peace talks, promotion of scientific innovations, use of sustainable energy sources and universal health coverage through Primary Health Care would be indomitable worthwhile to sustain global growth and development. Practice of formal and regular intelligence that ascertains identification of threats and challenges of national interest, prioritizing them on a measurable standard and developing mitigation plans for the main cause of concern, need to be structured and maintained. Issues specific to the particular nations, societies and communities entwined with geo-political interests may be catalogued in the global threat directory in quest of international aid and support in days to come.
