“It is again my pleasure and honor to join with all of the artists who are using their gift of song to celebrate the Global Citizens’ event by doing our part in working against global warming, starvation, and singing for equality around the world…We Are The Village!!!" - Stevie Wonder

“Over the past year and a half we’ve all faced fears about our health, food availability, and climate change. I see Global Citizen Live as a megaphone that can point the power of the people directly at those with the ability to make the worldwide, systemic changes needed to protect the most vulnerable people and to defend our planet. Now is not the time for wealthy countries to cling to nationalist ideals and refuse to prioritize foreign aid and support to those in dire need. On September 25 we will gather the world to watch as leaders commit their intentions to act as responsible global citizens. And it’s our job to cry out when promises aren’t fulfilled. We want to encourage our leaders to ensure there are good times ahead for everyone.” - Nile Rodgers.

“At key moments in history, music has helped mobilize the world for the greater good. In 1985, we performed at Live Aid and the impact was heard around the world, yet we’re keenly aware that the issues we campaigned for at the time not only remain, they’re even more critical now. Despite best intentions, promises made can be easily forgotten without persistent advocacy and accountability, which is what Global Citizen does year-round. We are proud to join this incredible group of artists to raise our collective voices ahead of crucial meetings where some of the most important decisions on foreign aid and climate change will be made.” - Duran Duran

Michele Anthony, Executive Vice President, Member of the Executive Management Board, Universal Music Group said, “During my career I've been fortunate to help support artists who harness the power of their voices to raise awareness and move people around the world to take action. These are powerful moments and I’m in awe of the scores of amazing artists, across all genres, reflecting all perspectives, who have joined with Global Citizen to urgently defend the planet and defeat poverty. Global Citizen sparked a grass-roots movement ten years ago, but it’s only because of the many individuals taking collective action that today’s events are even possible.”

With the mission to rally citizens to call on world leaders, philanthropists, and corporations to defend the planet and defeat poverty by prioritizing climate change, famine, and vaccine equity, Global Citizen will be calling on business and government leaders in the UK to:

  • Show continued global leadership through a successful COP by helping to ensure that the $100 billion in climate finance is delivered by CO26.
  • Join the Race to Zero coalition to help increase private sector ambition.

In the US, Global Citizen is calling on the Biden Administration to:

  • Rapidly increase vaccine access by urgently sharing a total of at least 350M COVID-19 vaccine doses with the poorest countries by the end of September.
  • Increase US climate financing by committing to reach $40 billion per year through public and private financing.

In collaboration with COP26, Global Citizen Live coincides with the UN General Assembly (Sept), prior to the G20 Meeting (Oct) and COP26 Meeting (Nov). Focused on vaccine equity, famine, and climate change, Global Citizen Live will call on leaders to deliver: 1 billion vaccines to the poorest countries by the end of September; meals for the 41 million people on the brink of famine; helping curb emissions by joining the Race to Zero and pledging a combined total of 1 billion trees by 2022 in support of 1t.org.

COP26 President-Designate Alok Sharma said: “COP26 marks a critical turning point for humanity to protect our planet from the worst and most pressing effects of climate change.

As we approach November, I am pleased to support Global Citizen Live in their efforts to rally the public in demanding swift action to help protect the planet."

“Ending poverty and protecting the planet depends on wide scale changes made at the personal, community, and societal levels throughout the world. Rotary International, our members and our friends across the globe, are all in. We are proud to be part of Global Citizen Live and together support solutions to the world-wide challenges that must be overcome. Through Rotary’s leadership in polio eradication, we have shown what we can do when we draw on the collective strengths of our partners and national governments. Now is the imperative for us all to collaborate and use our combined networks to create lasting and sustainable impact,” said Jennifer Jones, President-Elect, Rotary International
