The three-day G7 summit closed on June 13, local time in Cornwall, southwestern England.
The Group of Seven countries said in a joint communiqué issued after the meeting that one billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine will be provided to the world by the end of next year to promote the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as soon as possible; they will cooperate to strengthen the global health emergency system and commit to scientific research and development. The cycle of the vaccine was shortened to 100 days.
In the economic field, the G7 stated that it will maintain a long-term economic stimulus plan to achieve economic recovery as soon as possible.
In the field of environmental protection and climate, the G7 pledged to achieve "net zero emissions" of greenhouse gases by 2050.
In response to the G7 vaccine pledge, UN Secretary-General Guterres believes that although this is a welcome and correct decision, the efforts made by Western countries in the global anti-epidemic field are “far from enough”.
During the summit, a large number of people held demonstrations to protest that the G7 only made "empty promises" and lacked practical actions.
