Hi, how are you? Pleasure, pleasure, great to great pleasure to see you. We can remove this, this can be, oh wow, this is for height control for shorter leaders like this.

Taller leaders, what specific message do you think is the most important? Climate change is coming much, much faster. Mhm. Uh, we have seen such extraordinary extreme weather patterns. MH. If you consider this vastness of this universe, this planet Earth is just a small boat. If, uh, this boat is thinking that, I think we will have to all think together.

I know that he has been a very committed and effective environmentalist, and that is why I really count on your, uh, leadership and vision. Please welcome newly appointed United Nations Messenger of Peace, Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary General, your excellencies. I feel incredibly honored that they chose me to be the United Nations Messenger of Peace on climate change. I stand before you not as an expert. I want to do everything I can to learn more about this issue, see for myself exactly what's going on and what can be done around the world.

But it all kind of seems beyond our control. As an actor, I pretend for a living; I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in that same way. We keep getting inundated with catastrophic news about the environment every single day, and the problem seems to be getting worse and worse and worse.

I try to have a conversation with anyone about climate change; people just tune [Music] out. If the UN really knew how I feel, how pessimistic I am about our future, I mean, to be honest, they may have picked the wrong guy.
