"His overriding message to the G7 will be that we need a quantum leap in our capacity to address the challenges that we face today, notably the COVID-19 pandemic and, of course, climate change," said Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman. On COVID-19, Guterres will push for a global vaccination plan that should lead to doubling vaccine production and the equitable distribution of the vaccine to ensure that everyone, everywhere has access, he told a daily press briefing.
