The Global Goals Citizens campaign involves a plan to end extreme poverty, tackle inequality and reduce the impact of climate change by 2030.
This agenda is championed by a group of activists led by the film-maker Richard Curtis, whose Project Everyone initiative – run in partnership with the campaign groups action/2015 and Global Citizen – aims to reach 7 billion in seven days.
The whole idea is to push for the full implementation of the agenda by making the goals famous.
An excited Becca said in a press release that she is delighted at the opportunity to add her voice to such a worthy cause which is in line with her own charitable work in Ghana.
Ahead of Saturday's concert, Becca will join a lineup of top performers at an exclusive event for Richard Branson’s Virgin Unite Foundation which will be attended by some of the most powerful citizens on earth.
