Where Can We Watch It?

Broadcasters including ABC, FX, Hulu, iHeartRadio, YouTube, Twitter, and TimesLive will provide coverage of the event. Ahead of the G20 and COP27, the festival is urging world leaders to “invest $600 million into the future of women and girls, close the annual $10 billion climate financing shortfall, deliver $500 million to help African farmers respond to the global food crisis, and provide urgent relief from crushing debts to end extreme poverty now.”

This is being done at the United Nations General Assembly, which is taking place before the G20 and COP27.
