Billie Eilish will grace the stage at an international environmental event in Paris. Taking place next month, the event titled 'Power Our Planet: Live In Paris' is organized by Global Citizen and will feature notable performers like Lenny Kravitz, H.E.R., and Jon Batiste. The event aims to mobilize global leaders and the private sector to take decisive action against the pressing climate crisis.
In a statement, Lenny Kravitz expressed concern about the state of the planet that the next generation will inherit. He emphasized the power of our collective voices and actions to bring about change. On June 22, people from all around the world are encouraged to participate in this event and make a positive impact for a sustainable tomorrow.
Joining Billie Eilish on stage will be her brother FINNEAS, as well as special guests Ben Harper and Mosimann. The event, under the patronage of France's president Emmanuel Macron, will coincide with the New Financial Pact Summit, where global leaders will convene.
The Power Our Planet campaign, co-led by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, advocates for a significant transformation in the functioning of the world's financial systems. Their mission is to provide the necessary financial resources to impoverished and developing nations for accelerating their transition to clean energy, bolstering their resilience against natural disasters, and addressing their most urgent needs.
The campaign calls upon governments, banks, and major corporations to honor the commitments they have already made. Additionally, it urges them to allocate substantial funding, making up to $1 trillion available to countries in need, and to actively pursue the adoption of clean energy sources.
President Macron stressed the importance of solidarity in our world today. He emphasized that by assisting the most vulnerable, we can foster a future characterized by peace and multilateralism. Macron highlighted the close connection between inequality, poverty, and the conflicts we face, noting that achieving a global climate transition is contingent upon striving for justice and fairness.
With the sustainable development goals halfway within reach, Macron emphasized the need for a new financial agreement among all nations. Such a pact would foster greater unity and solidarity in shaping a brighter future for all.
