Global Citizen will air a new three-hour event taking place on June 22, dubbed ‘Power Our Planet: Live in Paris’. The event will feature sets from Billie Eilish, H.E.R., Lenny Kravitz, Jon Batiste, Ben Harper, Finneas, and Mosimann, who will perform live from the city’s Champ de Mars, located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
Power Our Planet: Live in Paris is a free, ticketed event being held to mobilize financing from world leaders and the private sector for developing countries to fight climate change and extreme poverty; it is hosted in partnership with the City of Paris with support from Live Nation. Global Citizen co-founder and CEO Hugh Evans said in a press release: “Our world needs urgent change. Outdated global financial systems are perpetuating the conditions that keep vulnerable countries and their citizens trapped in the cycle of extreme poverty. We congratulate Ajay Banga on his appointment as President of the World Bank, and there is an urgent and immediate opportunity for him to show leadership the world truly needs.”
Power Our Planet: Live in Paris will be livestreamed globally across Global Citizen’s platforms on June 22. Amazon will also carry the livestream via Amazon Music on Twitch.
