September 25, 2021The Global Citizen Live has begun, a mega 24-hour concert in Paris, New York, London, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul and other cities to raise people's awareness of climate change, for equal access to anti-Covid vaccines and for the end of world hunger.
"The artists perform on six continents thus making a contribution in calling for governments, large companies and philanthropists to work together to defend the planet," explains the NGO Global Citizen.
The event is attended by, among others, Elton John, Bts, Billie Eilish and Coldplay, Metallica and Stevie Wonder. Italy is represented by Andrea Bocelli, but also by the very young and now unstoppable Måneskin. Global Citizen aims to plant a billion trees and get the poorest countries a billion vaccines.
