G20 Summit

The G20 Summit

Leaders of G20 Nations will meet in Cannes, France on 3-4 November.  France (the current G20 Chair) and countries such as Germany and South Africa have made a strong call for the G20 to adopt a financial transaction tax which could raise billions in funding for global health including the prevention and control of NCDs.  

If you are from a G20 country, please write to your Head of State and key Ministers and ask them to support these efforts to renew funding for global health and development.  A template letter is provided for you to amend and send.  Don’t forget to disseminate this letter through your networks, and use media and social media to raise awareness.

List of G20 Countries:  Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.
