I need to write a short sentence where I refer to people from all around the world. Can I use 'global people'? Or is it a totally different concept? Thanks!

2Depending on how the sentence is worded, maybe people worldwide or global population.– Dave L RenfroCommented Aug 21, 2019 at 11:35

I suppose global people could also mean people who are well travelled (Which is not what you mean) so introduces ambiguity.– SmockCommented Aug 21, 2019 at 15:35

No I think it is not really a good idea. Globe also means a sphere or ball shaped so we would have spherical people. Global people, make cartoon characters something like weebles, spring to mind. To comment in a more serious fashion it is an unusual use of the word Global. How about Multinational or Multicultural, or Interracial.
However I think I would try to use The Global Community that should work, if you can fit it in.
