Former Eurovision song contest winner Ruslana will perform a free concert today in Hamburg to entertain visitors to the WindEnergy 2018 trade fair and send a personal message to the world: switch to renewable energy today.
The event will take place in the trade fair grounds and will coincide with Ruslana being named Renewable Energy Ambassador for the Global 100% Renewable Energy Platform.
The platform was created by key global sustainability organisations to publicise, support, lobby for and mediate the global transition to 100% renewable energy.
Ruslana said: “I am fully committed to helping the critical transition towards 100% renewable energy, and to the basic right of all humans to use renewable energy. Renewable energy is democratic energy, and energy for peace.”
She will receive her credentials from Stefan Gsaenger, secretary general of the World Wind Energy Association and executive committee member of the platform.
Gsaenger said: “We are thrilled by Ruslana’s support for our cause: to boost renewable energy globally. Her international popularity adds a new dimension to the outreach of our global multi- stakeholder alliance.”
