'There is still a small window of possibility, but we must act now,' she said. 'It is by taking action that I maintain hope.'
, Goulding spent her evening backstage with her backup singers and crew, preparing for her performance. Yet Goulding wasn’t just in the United Arab Emirates Monday to share her music with the crowd of global leaders; she also accepted a TIME100 Impact Award herself—in recognition of her longstanding work toward advancing climate change awareness.
“There is still a small window of possibility, but we must act now,” she said. “It is by taking action that I maintain hope.” Goulding shared a stripped-down performance of three of her hits to close out the TIME100 Impact Awards and Gala: “Power” and “Flux” off of 2020 album, and platinum single “Love Me Like You Do,” backed only by three accompanying singers.
She reiterated that the quest for climate solutions can often feel like an uphill slog, although there is hope—in the form of the engagement of the next generation.”Young people are already already switched on, engaged, informed. They already know. I haven’t met a young fan who hasn’t been worried about climate change. It’s really the leaders—the powers that be—that need enlightening,” she said.
