Together, two imposing actors from two distinct regions of the globe are bringing attention to climate change! The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has enlisted Oscar-winning actor Michelle Yeoh and Bollywood actor Bhumi Pednekar, who is a climate warrior and UNDP India’s first National Advocate for SDGs, in their global campaign The Weather Kids, which aims to increase global awareness of climate change and inspire meaningful action on the issue.

As a National Advocate, Bhumi supports UNDP India in raising public understanding of and support for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a comprehensive program that calls for international collaboration to end poverty, protect the environment, and promote universal peace and prosperity by 2030.

‘The Weather Kids’ focuses on the impact of climate change on our lives and how it will worsen as the years go by. The global campaign takes us through the weather forecast for the year 2050, narrated by children. The campaign concludes with a call to action by the kids urging adults and world leaders to take urgent climate action before it’s too late.

Talking about the campaign Bhumi Pednekar said, “I’m deeply disturbed by Climate Change and the impact that it is having the world over. I have dedicated my life to working on this and helping raise awareness. I’m partnering with UNDP for their global campaign – The Weather Kids aimed at educating the children about this pressing issue”.

“One of the most important issues facing humanity today is climate change, and we all must work together to address this crisis. My participation in this campaign aims to draw attention to UNDP’s commitment to raising public awareness of climate change and spearheading initiatives to effect meaningful change” said the actress.

Bhumi said, “I have always been dedicated to leveraging my platform to empower people to embrace sustainable behaviors and to increase awareness about the need to take action against climate change. By working together, we can change the world and leave it more resilient and sustainable for coming generations”.

Hope the actress continues with her commendable job.
