The Global Citizen Live campaign aims to help end COVID-19 by calling on governments, philanthropists, and the private sector for financial commitments to kickstart an equitable global recovery from the pandemic. Ahead of October’s G20 Summit and the major climate conference COP26 in November, the campaign will call on world leaders, major corporations, and foundations to prioritize: The Recovery Plan focuses on five key objectives: ending COVID-19 for all, ending the hunger crisis, resuming learning for all, protecting the planet, and advancing equity for all. This year, musical artists, activists, corporate leaders, philanthropists, and world leaders will support and advocate for Global Citizen’s year-long Recovery Plan for the World campaign. The Global Citizen Live campaign culminates in a 24-hour worldwide broadcast event with live events in Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Paris, London, Seoul, Los Angeles, and Sydney. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative test result and a facemask are required for entry.
VIP tickets also are available for purchase.
The international education and advocacy organization will offer 43,000 free tickets via lottery to those who participate in prescribed social action campaigns. Global Citizen announced today that Coldplay, Billie Eilish, Camila Cabello, Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, Meek Mill, Shawn Mendes, Alessia Cara, Burna Boy, Cyndi Lauper, Jon Batiste, and Lang Lang will perform a free concert at the Great Lawn in Central Park on September 25.
