Billie Eilish accepted the 2026 MLK Jr. Beloved Community Environmental Justice Award in Atlanta and said she felt undeserving. She described climate justice as less achievable given the state of the country and the world.

She criticized reductions in climate action funding and harms from animal agriculture. Eilish highlighted her $11.5 million donation to food equity and climate justice organisations and warned that food and healthcare risks becoming privileges for the wealthy rather than universal rights.
