Global health and COVID-19

Together, we can accelerate conversations, education and solutions that focus on how the places where we spend our lives can enhance and improve health.

Prevention and Preparedness, Resilience and Recovery


At the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), we are acutely aware of the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in because of COVID-19. We hope you'll join us as we take action and focus on the leading role buildings, communities and organizations can play to support our health and well-being overall, and our collective ability to prepare for and respond to global health challenges like the one we’re experiencing now. Today, more than ever, places matter to the future of protecting our families, our businesses and the public at large.

The IWBI Special Report provides science-backed and evidence-based insights and proven strategies to guide people in managing both their buildings and their organizations in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the acute health threats that are sure to come.
