The G20 also stressed the importance of global access to COVID-19 vaccines, drugs and tests.

11月22日，二十国集团（G20）峰会落幕。受疫情影响，本次为期两天的领导人峰会在线上举行。与会的大国领导人承诺将全力保护生命，确保研制出人人买得起的新冠疫苗。疫情已让全球数亿个工作岗位消失，令数百万人陷入极度贫困。峰会最后的声明高度关注了抗击疫情、加强环境保护、支持全球经济等问题，并提到，疫情“凸显了我们共同的挑战”。此次峰会还强调了世界各国获取新冠疫苗、药物和检测试剂的重要性。今年的峰会由沙特阿拉伯主办。而在疫情暴发前，此次峰会原计划在利雅得现场召开。
