Aaditya Thackeray and Bhumi Pednekar
Having launched the social media initiative, Climate Warrior in 2019, Bhumi Pednekar has been relentlessly creating awareness about environmental change and mobilising citizens to protect nature. In recognition of her contribution towards a greener planet, she has been invited to speak at the Climate Week in New York alongside Aaditya Thackeray, Maharashtra’s cabinet minister of tourism and environment. The Climate Week, now in its 13th year, is run by international NGO Climate Group in partnership with the United Nations, COP26 Summit and the city of New York.
Pednekar — who had adopted a no-plastic policy on her film’s set, and teamed up with an eco-warrior to convert pollution into ink — will take the stage on September 23 to highlight how India will play a vital role in the global response to climate change. Divya Sharma, India executive director, Climate Group, is pleased to host her at the initiative that kicked off yesterday. “Besides being a talented artiste, Bhumi has been a strong advocate for green solutions. In line with this year’s theme of ‘Getting It Done,’ young voices like Bhumi’s will inspire others to do more.”
