Abstract
Humanity faces a series of challenges over a range of timescales from minutes to centuries that are relevant to our sustainable development as a globally interconnected civilization. Our common survival at local-global levels depends on being able to understand the urgencies of exponential change across these timescales. The "Pandemic Lens" introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic gives us perspective to operate with informed short-term to long-term decision making <i>for the benefit of all on Earth across generations.</i>
