Saturday’s special live performances and actions will be taking place across the world, in countries including Portugal, Uruguay, Brazil, Germany, Canada, Mexico, The Netherlands, Colombia and many more. Artists set to appear include award-winning alternative pop-folk duo Milky Chance and rising star LEEPA in Germany, Japanese singer songwriter Anly, Toronto-based singer songwriter and actress Lia Pappas-Kemps, rapper Eli Almic from Uruguay’s capital Montevideo, Canadian singer songwriter Scott Helman, Brazilian singer, actress and presenter Any Gabrielly, multi-instrumentalist Luna Li and many more.

Frances Fox, 20-year-old ‘Climate Live’ Founder, says: “I started Climate Live in Spring 2019, after being inspired by an interview in which Brian May said there should be a Live Aid for the climate crisis. I thought this was a brilliant idea to engage more young people in the movement, with our own spin, so immediately started messaging activists from all over the world.”

Each concert is being planned with sustainability as a top priority and Climate Live is working with professionals, artists and local authorities to strive to make the events as sustainable as possible. The race to safeguard the future of this planet has begun, so now it’s time to come together. As Greta Thunberg, 18, from Sweden comments: “To change everything, we need everyone”.
