Who is a Global Citizen? – New York Stories

“Climate protection now. Sign the petition,” “Test your knowledge: What is the climate crisis? Take the quiz,” or “Biden: Stop the Willow Project. Tweet now.” These are some of the actions you can take as a “Global Citizen.” Climate protection is at the forefront of the current campaigns. Equal rights for girls are also a focus: “Demand equality, empower girls. A new superhero is in town. Call on heads of state and government to support girls.” An app is being used to inform and get involved, especially young people. If they have collected enough points, they receive tickets for the Global Citizen Festival, which has been taking place on a huge stage on the Great Lawn in New York’s Central Park since 2012. The event follows directly on from the annual High-Level Week of the UN General Assembly in September.
