What: Play:Fair for People and Planet
When: 17 July, 18:30-20:30 CET, Global Broadcast on UN WebTV and UN YouTube
Where: Milan, Italy

Play:Fair for People and Planet is a new kind of music activation that aims to inspire, connect and mobilize people all around the world by bringing together musicians, performing artists and local and international activists. We want to reimagine a new world where we address the global challenges of climate injustice, inequality and ensure a sustainable food system for all. It will take place in Milan, Italy, in front of a limited on-site audience, with a simultaneous live broadcast in [playfair.live]playfair.live on Saturday, 17 July 2021 from 18:30-20:30 CET.

The lineup includes incredible Italian artists such as Margherita Vicario, Populous and Epoque, who are available for interviews. Focusing on local artists, this event is not only produced with climate and sustainability in mind, but also focuses on gender inclusion.

The music industry can lead the way in setting an example in how we can produce big events and take climate and the environment into account to reduce the stress on our planet.

With major events and conferences happening in the next few months, from the Food Systems Summit to COP26, we are seizing the moment to kick-start a major activation in the lead up to our Global Week to #Act4SDGs, held on 17-28 September during the UN General Assembly – this year with the ambition to mobilize 100 million people together with partners from around the world.
