The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center's mission is to promote innovation and identify impact-oriented solutions to critical global problems and has a record of major impact, from meetings that led to the Green Revolution and the Global AIDS vaccine initiative. The Lancet – UiO Commission hopes to live up to its standards by communicating clear messages to the world on how to better protect and promote public health in various global governance processes.
