Popular Bollywood actress and former beauty pageant winner, Dia Mirza, has been appointed as UN Environment’s Goodwill Ambassador for India.
The actress, who is also the brand ambassador for the Wildlife Trust of India, will work on raising awareness of and seeking solutions to environmental issues that the world, and India in particular, faces.
“I feel honoured and inspired by this opportunity to work with UN Environment to protect the environment and promote sustainable development,” said Dia. “Environmental issues will be the defining challenge of this era, and I am committed to helping the UN as a Goodwill Ambassador to do everything I can to provide a better future," she added.
“Together, we will continue working towards conservation of nature, tackling climate change and inspiring people to live more sustainably.”
Dia is a committed voice for change and has contributed her efforts in the field of social change, conservation and environment. She has been to the face of many pivotal environmental campaigns across India and has worked towards the conservation of wildlife.
As a Goodwill Ambassador, Dia will work with the United Nations to further spread the message on priority areas including clean air, clean seas, wildlife protection and climate change.
“I am delighted to have Dia join UN Environment as a Goodwill Ambassador,” said UN Environment head, Erik Solheim.
