BLACKPINK to Speak About Climate Change at the World Leader's Summit as Promotional Ambassador
On October 27 KST, it was announced that YG Entertainment's top girl group, BLACKPINK, will be making a special appearance at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (hereafter referred to as COP26), which will be held in Glasgow, UK for two weeks from October 31 to November 12 local time.
The conference will be joined by the leaders of over 130 countries, who will participate to discuss on actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the Paris Agreement (also known as Paris Climate Accords).
For BLACKPINK, they will be delivering a speech to raise awareness on climate change issues and encourage environmental protection at the World Leaders Summit, hosted by UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, on November 1 and 2 local time.
As the promotional ambassador for COP26, BLACKPINK's efforts to raise awareness about climate change won't be ending anytime soon. In December of last year, BLACKPINK participated in a journey to save the earth through a video, "Calling All BLINKs: Climate Action in Your Area," in partnership with the British Embassy in South Korea.
