Ed Sheeran and the Black Eyed Peas should also be on stage in France. The 24-hour major event Global Citizen Live aims to collect donations from states and companies for the climate and against poverty. Specifically, it is about financial support for climate protection in poorer countries, money for the fight against famine and donations of corona vaccines. There was support in Paris, for example, from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who pledged 140 million euros against hunger and funds for education.
Not only in Paris, but also in New York, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro and Mumbai, concerts will take place at the weekend. More than 70 international music stars are involved. The South Korean boy group BTS delivered the first musical contribution in the live stream with “Permission to Dance”.
