Leonardo DiCaprio, Cher and Pitbull back celebrity climate appeal

Over thirty celebrities have partnered with a UN-backed campaign to urge leaders gathered at COP26 in Glasgow to accelerate the goals of the Paris climate accord.


Celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Ellen DeGeneres and Pitbull have taken to their social media channels to alert their followers to the climate crisis. 


The campaign aims to reach the celebrity’s 620 million-strong social media following, and highlight climate change as a human rights issue. 


The Right Here, Right Now climate alliance is backed by United Nations Human Rights and works with policymakers, NGOs and entertainers to promote climate advocacy. 


DiCaprio, the Oscar-winning actor and environmental advocate, was the first to post on his Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts about the campaign. “Homes, lands, health, and lives of those most affected by climate change are at risk,” he wrote in the caption.
