"Yes, it is going to call for a huge and significant shift in the way we consume and the way we think, and the way we live. But it has to be done, and we can do it." Dia was among the visitors in our #UNGA VIP Social Media Studio during Monday's #ClimateAction Summit. Stay tuned for more portraits and live interviews this week. ????: Christophe Wu #GlobalGoals

Dia Mirza has been consistent in her efforts to lead by example for all things related to the planet. Mirza was recently in New York along with the likes of 16-year old teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump.

“As we are confronted by a climate emergency, it is now necessary more than ever before for us to take drastic steps in transformation, in innovation and change the way we live, we consume, and we build our economies. The Climate Action Summit is an opportunity for people to demonstrate will — political, civil and social will to make the difference that is required for immediate action for the sake of our future.”

The UN Climate Change Summit 2019 was an effort to prepare people to take on climate change. With numbers reaching alarming levels and having direct consequences on people’s lives, the summit brought together governments, private and civil sectors and multiple organisations to bring about accelerated solutions to tackle the ongoing environmental transformations.

I am proud to represent my country and planet towards ensuring no one is left behind. ???????????? #Repost @unsdgadvocates with @get_repost ・・・ Yesterday, Secretary-General @antonioguterres met with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Advocates Ahead of the General Assembly. The group agreed that while the SDGs are being adopted by governments, business and civil society, we are still dramatically behind where we need to be to achieve the Goals by 2030. The world needs to make a significant leap to succeed on the SDGs to reduce the suffering of people everywhere, including through the fight against climate change. The Secretary-General asked the Advocates to put urgency, scale, speed, emotion, and the dignity of people behind their efforts to drive action on the SDGs and to identify opportunities to achieve tipping points to change the trajectory on each of the Goals. The SDG Advocates committed to driving action on the SDGs, and to playing a key role in the Decade of Action to deliver the SDGs. #GlobalGoals #DecadeOfAction #ClimateAction #ActOnClimateNow

It’s a city now that represents mobilisation of action and strong commitment, and I really love being in New York.”

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” – Tuesdays With Morrie #Tuesday #TuesdayThoughts #Purpose #Perspective Image by @abheetgidwani
