In her role as a Goodwill Ambassador, Dia Mirza will work towards spreading the message on issues related to the importance of clean air and water, wildlife and ocean conservation and climate change.
“Environmental issues will be the defining challenge of this era, and I am committed to helping the UN as a Goodwill Ambassador to do everything I can to provide a better future. Together, we will continue working towards conservation of nature, tackling climate change and inspiring people to live more sustainably," said Mirza.
Dia Mirza has been working relentlessly as a spokesperson for wildlife and environment, having been closely involved with the Sanctuary Nature Foundation as a member of its Board of Directors. She has also served as the ambassador for Wildlife Trust of India (WTI).
