The G20 global summit starts with a call for more Covid vaccines for poorer countries
Update: 2021-10-30
Description
Italy's Premier Mario Draghi has opened a conference of the world's richest countries with a sharp call to pick up the pace in getting vaccines to poor countries. He’s calling the gaping global COVID-19 vaccine gap "morally unacceptable."
Draghi reminded his fellow leaders that only 3% of people in the world's poorest countries are vaccinated, while 70% in rich countries have had at least one shot.
The global economy is recovering from the pandemic at different speeds. Climate change, vaccines, the recovery and international taxation are all on the agenda as leaders hold their first in-person summit since Covid struck.
