“It was a tremendous honor to perform for Vice President Harris and fellow environmentalists for Earth Day. VP Harris is a longtime courageous and committed leader on climate action. In particular, I represent my young fans all around the world desperate for leaders to act decisively for their future.” – Ellie Goulding stated
Notable guests in attendance included Judy Hatcher (Executive Director, of Biodiversity Funders Group), Erik Stegman (Chief Executive Officer of Native Americans in Philanthropy), and Stephanie Rosas (a University of Michigan Student), among others. Goulding dazzled attendees with a trio of her smash hits including “Love Me Like You Do,” “Burn,” and “Lights,” in an effort to amplify the Earth Day mission of educating and activating the environmental movement.
A long-standing activist and philanthropist, Goulding uses her platform to engage young people with global issues. In March, she invited fans to a beach clean-up in Santa Monica, California. Her environmental work dates back to 2017, when she was awarded the UN’s New Voices Award, and in recognition of her wider activism became a goodwill ambassador for UN Environment. In 2022, Goulding also became a TIME100 Impact Award winner, was named an ambassador for the WWF, and was honored by the UN Association as a Humanitarian of the Year.
