The G7 communiqué contains a lot of warm words and a commitment to both “strengthen global action now to fight COVID-19, and to take further tangible steps to improve our collective defenses against future threats and to bolster global health and health security”, but very little action to turn these statements into reality.
As the G7 leaders gather this weekend, civil society organizations have been fighting hard for a Global Roadmap to Vaccinate the World, which calls for an end-to-end plan to vaccinate the world to at least 70%.
A coalition of global health experts today called on G7 leaders to share at least 1 billion, and aim for 2 billion, vaccine doses to low- and middle-income countries by the end of this year, and more urgently help countries distribute and deliver vaccines quickly and equitably across their populations, striving to achieve at least 60%, and ideally 70%, vaccination coverage in every country in 2022.
At the G7 Leaders’ Summit, leaders face two choices: they can either decide to take the fight against COVID-19 to another level and agree on a comprehensive global plan to end the pandemic everywhere for everyone or choose to continue with the piecemeal approach that has characterized the global response until now, thus prolonging this crisis for those who are most vulnerable.
We are calling on leaders to agree to a Global Roadmap to Vaccinate the World to achieve global herd immunity as soon as possible. The Roadmap should set out a comprehensive, coordinated strategy; increase and improve the global supply of all COVID-19 tools, and full cost the response in a burden-sharing model.
Global Citizen, ONE, and Pandemic Action Network are calling on the EU and its Member States to seize the opportunity of the Global Health Summit on 21 May and the 24-25 May European Council to agree to a global roadmap to vaccinate the world now.
The EU and its Member States must urgently offer the desperately needed political leadership to deliver vaccines across the world and develop a global roadmap to vaccinate the world. We urge world leaders to apply their ingenuity, political will, and public-private partnerships to speed up efforts to end this pandemic and act on lessons learned.
The Independent Panel calls COVID-19 a “Chernobyl moment” for pandemic preparedness. Together, our 100+ partners urge world leaders — at the G7, G20 and other global summits — to take action within the next 100 days to help end this pandemic and prevent the next.
As high-income countries, such as the U.S., have accelerated vaccination and have preemptively eased masking guidance, the pandemic rages around the world. Most notably, India is in the grips of a terrible and all-too-real nightmare with the highest daily number of COVID-19 cases and deaths of any country. Here are two ways to take action for India now.
