Why Global Citizens Should Care

The United Nations’ 17 Global Goals set a roadmap to end extreme poverty by 2030. But the COVID-19 pandemic has hugely undermined progress on achieving these goals.  The quickest way to end the pandemic and ensure the world gets back on track is to make sure all countries have access to vaccines and a chance to recover, a process that is being thwarted by rich nations hoarding vaccines. Unfortunately, the G7 Summit — a huge opportunity to reverse that trend — ended up being more business-as-usual. To find out more about vaccine equity and take action, join us here.
