So, how will exactly are they planning on doing it? Never let it be said again that the atmosphere at Coldplay gigs is anything other than electric even if, in this particular case, that would be taking things rather literally.
Fans will be able to hop onto stationary bikes at each of the venues, with their pedal power charging reusable batteries that will keep the show going night after night. A kinetic floor will be installed in and around the stadiums, which will allow movement to be converted into energy. As part of the efforts to recapture any carbon unavoidably put out into the atmosphere as a result of the tour, at least one tree will be planted for each fan that attends the concerts , with planting schemes in place from California and Haiti to Romania and Brazil.
Gone are the days of private jets flying here, there and everywhere. Climeworks said Coldplay chose to use its technological approach to carbon capture because the band was "convinced by its permanence and measurable benefits". It's a work in progress and we're really grateful for the help we've had so far. Climate change poses an urgent threat demanding decisive action. Communities around the world are already experiencing increased climate impacts, from droughts to floods to rising seas.
The World Economic Forum's Climate Initiative supports the scaling and acceleration of global climate action through public and private-sector collaboration. The Initiative works across several workstreams to develop and implement inclusive and ambitious solutions. This includes the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders, a global network of business leaders from various industries developing cost-effective solutions to transitioning to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy.
CEOs use their position and influence with policy-makers and corporate partners to accelerate the transition and realize the economic benefits of delivering a safer climate. Contact us to get involved. Coldplay has a partnership with climate change researchers at Imperial College London's Grantham Institute to quantify the impact of the tour on the environment.

Facebook changed its name to 'Meta' to align with its ambitions to build the "metaverse". Know what is metaverse and why should we care. Coldplay plans to make its next world tour net-zero, through a combination of renewable energy, sustainable practices and carbon capture.
