1:34Now PlayingActivists from non-government organizations staged a flash mob in the Italian capital of Rome on Friday, demanding G20 leaders to take bold decisions and distribute vaccines to low-income countries.
According to Oxfam, Amnesty International and Emergency, members of the People's Vaccine Alliance, only 2.8% of populations living in low income countries, mainly in Africa, had access to vaccines.
The G-20, whose annual summit plays out in Rome this weekend, has morphed from its creation in the 1990s as an international group to grapple with financial crises into a forum facing such pressing problems as worldwide vaccine access and climate change.
Whether its structure is still suitable to helping to respond to the evolving needs of our times will be put to a test with its first in-presence summit since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The grouping accounts for 60% of the planet's population. But only one nation from Africa, a continent critically affected by health crises and climate change, is part of the G-20 fold.
