The biggest stars in the world are currently either bound for or departing from the small city of Indio, California, where the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival kicked off over the weekend and will continue through next Sunday. The festival, better known simply as ‘Coachella,’ draws annual crowds in the hundreds of thousands and gross revenues greater than $100 million, making it one of the highest-profile and most successful live music events in the world.
In 2018, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report warning of severe consequences if global climate change were allowed to continue unabated. To counteract this, IPCC’s report said, would require the U.S. and other major nations to set a course to achieve ‘net zero’ emissions by 2050 — meaning any emissions of carbon dioxide, a leading driver of climate change, would need to be balanced by an equal amount removed from the atmosphere.
