PARIS: Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish has been announced as the headliner for the upcoming “Power Our Planet: Live in Paris” climate concert. The event, scheduled to take place in Paris on June 22-23, aims to raise awareness and mobilize action in the fight against climate change.
The concert will serve as a platform to discuss ideas proposed by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who earlier this year suggested that international lenders should allocate substantial funds towards initiatives to reduce carbon pollution, and governments should increase taxes on fossil fuels.
Mottley has called on world leaders to attend the Paris summit and work towards restoring justice and equity within global financial systems, particularly for countries that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts.
The ideas put forward by Mottley have gained support from major economies that hold influence over institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, raising hopes for concrete action in the near future. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his endorsement of Mottley’s proposals, emphasizing the importance of helping the most vulnerable communities and reinforcing global solidarity.
Event Aims to Galvanize Public Support to Combat Climate Change
In addition to Billie Eilish, the “Power Our Planet: Live in Paris” concert will feature performances by renowned artists such as H.E.R., Jon Batiste, Ben Harper, and others. The event, organized by Global Citizen, aims to galvanize public support and engage audiences in the urgent need to combat climate change.
With Billie Eilish headlining the concert, the event is expected to attract a wide audience and generate further attention to the critical issue of environmental sustainability.
