The actor has been receiving accolades for her social media initiative Climate Warrior, which aims at raising awareness towards protecting nature. Now, the actor is extending her step towards the cause. She is all set to speak at the prestigious Harvard University wherein she will highlight the impact of the youth in climate change.
“Ever since I started Climate Warrior, my intent was to create as much awareness as possible around sustainability as a way of life and how climate change is going to impact all our lives,” the actor said in a statement. She added that through her initiative she wants to reach out to as many people as possible in the country as well as across the globe. “It is heartening for me to see that people are paying attention to what can happen if we don’t address the issue of climate change and making small changes in their lives to conserve,” Bhumi Pednekar said.
