In conjunction with the United Nations General Assembly in September, ahead of the G20 meeting in October and the main COP26 conference in November, Global Citizen Live will call on world leaders to prioritize:
Donate at least 1 billion doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to those who need it most by September. While about 50% of the US and EU are fully immunized and overdosed, less than 2% of Africa is protected while the continent is experiencing a devastating third wave.
Reverse the hunger crisis affecting 41 million people on the brink of famine by contributing at least XX meals to famine relief efforts and urgently providing millions of meals.
Combating catastrophic climate change by getting the world’s largest companies to commit to developing verified, science-based targets for net zero emissions, and a commitment to conserve, restore and grow at least one billion additional trees by 2022 through the 1 Trillion Trees initiative.
“While rich countries are on their way to reopening and returning to normal life, we are now facing a two-way epidemic, haves and have-nots,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization. (Who is the). “More than 75% of the more than 4 billion doses given to date have occurred in just 10 countries, while only 1% of people in low-income countries have received a dose. We cannot ignore this stark disparity or indulgence.”
He continued, “This remains a global crisis, with variables emerging from vulnerable parts of the world and continuing to threaten everyone’s lives and livelihoods.” “It will only end up with equitable global access to vaccines and other lifesaving medical supplies. That is why I am pleased to support Global Citizen Live and join Global Citizen in appealing to public and private sector leaders to share doses, funding, knowledge, technology and political solidarity are essential to ending this pandemic.”

“As we carefully resume live events and adapt to social distancing safely in countries where vaccines are available, we are well aware that many countries have little or no vaccines. The artists who joined us have donated their time and are sharing our mission with the world. By doing In doing so, they saw the faces and places where wealth makes life comfortable, and where poverty creates conditions that are, frankly, inhuman.” Katie Hill, senior vice president of Music, Entertainment and Artist Relations, told Global Citizen. “As we stand on the brink of an unimaginable future, we appreciate the donation of your time and talent, so that we can speak together and prevent terrible predictions from coming true.” Each of these artists share a belief in our mission and a willingness to unite their fans to capture the attention of those who have the power to right the course of disparities in the world.”
