“Whether you want to admit it or not..it’s happening.”

– @unesco Goodwill Ambassador Forest Whitaker on why we need to take urgent action to tackle climate change.

The actor and activist is at #UnitedNations Headquarters in #NYC ahead of tomorrow’s signing of the #ParisAgreement on climate change. Representatives of more than 165 countries – a record-breaking number – will sign the historic roadmap for moving to a low-carbon economy and achieving a sustainable future for our planet and its people.

Everyone in every country is affected by climate change – and we all have an opportunity to do something about it.

Recycling, conserving energy, taking public transport – these are just some of the many climate-friendly activities you can do on a daily basis. So join Forest Whitaker and take climate action today!
