Abstract

Global Citizen and the European Commission ran a campaign, Global Goal: Unite for Our Future, with the aim of ensuring that everywhere in the world, those who need them have access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines. The campaign also sought to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on the world's most vulnerable people, ensuring they still have access to education, clean water, and more. The campaign, launched under the patronage of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, focused on the development of tools to tackle COVID-19, and ensuring that these tools are available to all communities equally, as well as mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on those living in poverty.
