C20 Policy Pack

“During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.” – Maya Angelou

Approaching the G20 Summit on 15-16 November 2022, C20 calls on all leaders of the G20 to make greater efforts to solving the current global situation. Millions of people have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The negative impacts of the pandemic have been compounded by the multiple crises in the food, energy and financial sectors caused by the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Our humanity is at stake and governments, the business and civil society organizations must be committed to promote world peace and ennoble humanity.

We ended the year 2021, with the hope that the world could recover together and recover stronger from COVID-19, but the global health architecture is still unequal among countries across the world. The C20 calls upon the G20 to strengthen the global health architecture to be more inclusive, ensuring accessible vaccines, especially for developing countries. Global recovery will only take place if all countries, rich and poor, have the same access and means, including financial resources, knowledge and technology to protect all citizens.
