A South Pacific country by the name of Kiribati is reportedly set to go underwater in the next 30 years owing to climate change. The "environmentally conscious" country, as musician Ricky Kej highlights, has no emission or pollution, and is merely "suffering the consequences of our action". The Grammy Award-winning artiste doesn't spare a minute before making his plea for the environment at the onset of this interview. Only last month, Kej performed at a special WHO Global Conference that was held to discuss air pollution.
Revealing that he has performed at events in New York, Kej says this opportunity to play for dignitaries at the UN headquarters in Geneva, was his first. "I had created music that could showcase how air pollution affected children. Climate change doesn't know boundaries. Music moves people towards action, because it stirs them at an emotional level," says the musician, adding that he included artistes from across the globe to include different music sensibilities into the act.
