The joint document will provide a basis for consultations to be held at the annual Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Group of Twenty taking place on 7 and 8 July 2017.

 his is the first time that the science and research community have played an active role in shaping global action to improve health worldwide at G20 Summit consultations.
