Date - 11th Jun 2021

Group of Seven (G-7) leaders pledge to deliver 1 billion additional doses of vaccines by 2022 to reach 80 percent of the world's adult population. Ahead of the G-7 summit in the UK, officials drew up a document outlining a plan to end the pandemic by December 2022. The document has not yet been finalized, but it will form the basis of the final negotiations at the Cornwall summit.

At the summit, presidents and prime ministers will pledge to deliver at least 1 billion additional doses of vaccines over the next year.

Meeting Agenda

The G7 countries are also planning to commit to accelerating the transition from fossil fuel vehicles to a green transition in developing countries. Other topics for discussion include -

• Russia's demand to prosecute cybercriminals who carry out ransomware attacks from its territory and
• A pledge to counteract forced labor in supply chains, especially in the apparel and solar industries
• China is not mentioned by name in the communique, but the Beijing government has come under intense international criticism for its treatment of the Uyghurs
• They will delve further into coronavirus policy and introduce a common standard for travel, including recognition of a person's vaccination status

U.S. government plan

The US government has planned to purchase about 200 million doses in 2021 for distribution through the COVAX center to ensure equitable global distribution of the vaccine. In 2022, he will also purchase about 300 million doses. The vaccines will be provided to 92 low-income countries and the African Union.
