The festival in Central Park coincides with the United Nations General Assembly, which is held in New York in late September, in hopes of pressuring world leaders “to defeat poverty, demand equity, and defend the planet,” the website says.

A global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They are a citizen of the world. They take an active role in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer.

The event, headlined by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Anitta and Jung Kook of BTS, is designed to encourage supporters, especially those in Gen Z, to take action on extreme poverty, gender inequality, climate change and other issues.
