Pop music stars Post Malone and Doja Cat are set to headline this year's Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park on Sept. 28. The festival aims to mobilize young people to address pressing global issues.
Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans highlighted the setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and climate change, leading to an estimated 10% of the world's population living in extreme poverty. Despite long-term plans to eradicate poverty, the United Nations projects 575 million people will be in extreme poverty by 2030.
