Abstract: As globalization accelerates, the threat of pandemics is becoming increasingly serious. The outbreak of global public health events, such as the New Crown Epidemic, highlights the importance and urgency of strengthening the legal study of pandemic treaties. In order to effectively respond to pandemics, the international community needs to construct a more comprehensive health architecture to guide and regulate countries' prevention and control actions. Focusing on the negotiation of the Pandemic Treaty, this paper summarizes the challenges of global pandemic governance, such as nationalistic security restrictions, treaty synergy, pathogen access, and the construction of a benefit-sharing system, and that the international community should promote all parties to construct a global health architecture, ensure equitable access to relevant products, and strengthen sustainable financing.

Keywords: epidemic governance; pandemic prevention, preparedness and response; global health architecture; health equity
