Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has spent the past couple decades warning the general public about ominous issues, from upcoming "climate disasters" to devastating cyberattacks.
"A lot of unrest" in today's world could spark "a major war," he tells CNBC Make It.
And even "if we avoid a big war ... then, yes, there will be another pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years."
"The country that the world expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations," Gates says, referring to the United States.
While some progress has been made, with increased spending on pandemic preparedness in the U.S. and elsewhere, Gates says the global response hasn't yet been enough.
