From Australia, Global Citizen is currently campaigning around five key areas where the Australian Government can take immediate action to help save lives in our region, and get Australia back on track as the generous and ambitious nation we are, specifically:

1. Increase international aid spending every federal budget to the ultimate goal of 0.7% of GNI
2. Pledge at least $450 million AUD to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
3. Pledge more than $25 million AUD at the October World Health Assembly GPEI Replenishment or at a GC event in Canberra to continue leading the fight to end polio forever
4. Ahead of COP 27 in November, increase international climate financing investments to USD $3.5 billion per annum to fulfil Australia’s promise made in the Paris agreement and play its part in closing the global USD $100 billion climate financing gap.
5. Prioritise empowering girls and women through their education by committing $32 million AUD to Education Cannot Wait

Global Citizen 2022 on 24 September will coincide with the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York. The 2022 event will be the 10th Global Citizen Festival.
