"I feel a moral obligation to speak out at this key moment in human history — it is a moment for action," says the actor in addressing climate change

Leonardo DiCaprio has been tapped by the United Nations to be honored with the title of Messenger of Peace, and the actor has been asked to speak on Sept. 23 at the U.N. Climate Summit to address the topic of climate change, the international organization announced on Tuesday. 

Climate change may be the political topic most closely associated with the Wolf of Wall Street actor, who has regularly made headlines for his commitments to addressing the issue.“It’s an honor to accept the role of U.N. Messenger of Peace on Climate Change and to support the Secretary General in his efforts to address one of the most important issues we face as a global community,” said DiCaprio in a statement. “I feel a moral obligation to speak out at this key moment in human history — it is a moment for action. How we respond to the climate crisis in the coming years will likely determine the fate of humanity and our planet.”

In February, DiCaprio pledged a donation of $3 million to marine conservation and followed with an additional $7 million pledge several months later. On Sept. 21, two days before the U.N. Climate Summit in New York, the Clinton Foundation will honor the actorfor his committed environmentalism during a Manhattan gala event featuring Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton

Other Hollywood industry notables who have been given the Messenger of Peace title by the U.N. in recent years include Edward Norton, Michael Douglas, Charlize Theron, George Clooney andStevie Wonder

"United Nations Messengers of Peace/Goodwill Ambassadors are distinguished individuals, carefully selected from the fields of art, literature, science, entertainment, sports or other fields of public life, who have agreed to help focus worldwide attention on the work of the United Nations," reads the statement on the U.N. website that explains the selection process. 

 

congrats to Léo <3

Aren't new pix , but are some pix we haven't seen before from Leo's visit to Ft McMurray & Fort Chip that appear in interview with director Darren Aronofsky

Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, organized the trip with his team. He asked if there was anyone I would like to invite and so I emailed Leonardo DiCaprio, whom I’ve known a bit over the years. Leo wrote back right away and said the trip sounded fascinating and he would love to join.
