Bhumi Satish Pednekkar Brings Her Voice to the United Nations General Assembly: Climate crisis is happening to real people in real places
Bhumi Satish Pednekkar, who serves as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) India’s first National Advocate for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is at the United Nations General Assembly this year. At the global platform, the thinking actress has just one message for the public and the climate, and it’s worth pondering.
“I am at the United Nations General Assembly with just one message: The climate crisis is not a future problem. It is happening to real people in real places and we need climate action now,” she says, making her voice heard for concerns that matter and affect society at large.
From speaking up for women’s rights, gender-based violence against women and emphasising the rise in rape cases to bringing help by working on-ground for climate-related disasters, Bhumi Pednekkar is ‘acting’ upon concerning matters and not just talking about it. From extending support to the flood-struck victims in Nepal and Assam to voicing her opinion for educational reforms, Bhumi Satish Pednekkar has proven to be an actress with a voice, who is keen on bringing about solid change.
