The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed life for millions across the globe. As populations look for a light at the end of the tunnel and a return to normality, it is vital that the most vulnerable people aren’t left behind.

Coronavirus has demonstrated just how interconnected our world is. To lessen the pandemic’s lasting global impact and help prevent a second wave, we need to work together.

Right now critical work is being done by scientists around the world to develop tests, treatments and vaccines needed to allow people to return to normal safely. It’s essential that — once these are developed — they are available to everyone, everywhere, not just to the world’s wealthiest people. 

World leaders everywhere need to step up and take action to make this happen. Europe has already shown leadership in this crisis. Now, we are calling on its leaders and others around the world to in allocating additional funding in the fight against COVID-19 globally.

We need world leaders to commit funding to finding COVID-19 prevention and treatments fast, and to strengthening health systems so that these vital discoveries reach everyone in need. 

We are stronger together and we need world leaders to lead by example for everyone’s future. Act now to call on world leaders to protect everyone in need.
