Tue, 01 May 2012 21:15:00 +0000

Ian Somerhalder, Li Bing Bing and Bollywood actor Rahul Bose have joined Gisele Bundchen and Don Cheadle as Goodwill Ambassadors for this year’s United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) World Environment Day Challenge.

After Gisele’s victory over Don in last year’s contest (in which WED participants could assign their environmental activity to either star), the Goodwill Ambassadors of the UN Environment Programme have called a truce and are uniting to encourage people to register record numbers of WED activities at www.unep.org/wed.

World Environment Day is all about positive action for the environment and underscores how the power of our individual actions, when combined, is exponential. For this year’s WED–the single biggest day for positive action on the environment worldwide– people across the world will be challenged to pledge an environmental activity for 5 June 2012, and help break the record for the greatest number of activities registered in WED’s four decade history.

Don Cheadle To Star In UN Climate PSAs

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:00:00 +0000

A major Hollywood actor and director take starring roles in a United Nations public service announcement campaign launched last week, aimed at compelling world leaders to “seal the deal” on a greenhouse gas emissions treaty at a climate change conference later this year.

Directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, co-writer of the apocalyptic science-fiction blockbuster film – “The Day After Tomorrow” – which depicts catastrophic effects of global warming, the series of videos urge viewers to sign the online Climate Petition.

The announcements were shot in six locations across four continents and feature Don Cheadle, the star of Hotel Rwanda, a film based on the true story of a man who saved hundreds of lives during the 1994 genocide in the African country.
