The Global Citizen Festival will return to Central Park Sept. 23 for another ticketed-but-free concert, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ms. Lauryn Hill set as the day’s headliners. Megan T…
Global Citizen’s annual massive event in Central Park will follow on the heels of a similarly large-scale, globally webcast, named “Power Our Planet: Live in Paris,” that featured Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, H.E.R., Lenny Kravitz, Finneas and Ben Harper performing in front of the Eiffel Tower. That show was held to coincide with — and put pressure for change on — the Summit for a New Financial Pact, another meeting of world leaders.
Hugh Evans, the co-founder & CEO of Global Citizen, is clear that the organization’s goals have not been met at that and some other recent meetings of government and business leaders. “COP27, this year’s G7, the World Bank Spring Meetings and the Paris climate finance summit all failed to deliver tangible results, or disruption of the world’s unjust systems,” Evans said in a statement. “But complacency can’t win.
Areas Global Citizen is focusing on as part of this event include the global food and malnutrition crisis; the unequal access to education, healthcare and family planning facing women and adolescent girls around the world; climate change and the need to financially support less developed nations in dealing with their own climate issues.
