As World Environment Day is observed globally on June 5, actor, producer, environment ambassador and UN Secretary General’s SDG advocate Dia Mirza says, it is time to be cognizant of the link between unsustainable development and the pandemic. And to do all we can to protect and restore the environment.
She says, "Unless we adhere to sustainable development and stop environmental degradation at every level, climate change will impact each one of us. It already is. Somehow, environmental activism is not taken seriously enough even though we are living through a pandemic caused by the inability of humans to respect nature`s laws. Climate issues also seem overwhelming to many even though everyone can start somewhere. Just do something for the earth today."
