LIVE: Combatting the U.S. Gun Violence Epidemic| Clinton Global Initiative 2024 | Leaders Stage

LIVE from the mainstage of #cgi2024
Every day in the United States, 327 people - including 23 children and teens - are shot with a firearm on average. Despite widespread consensus on the need for action to prevent gun violence, policy and social challenges have stood in the way of progress on this issue. However, we have reached a critical tipping point, and civil society and private sector leaders are advancing important solutions and public health interventions that will help mitigate the gun violence epidemic in America and save lives. This session will explore what’s working in this public health effort and what can be learned from other countries’ successful efforts to curb of gun violence to finally decrease shootings and deaths in the United States.
