Description:
Welcome to UN Connect, a Pearl News podcast powered by the United Nations Association of the USA’s Global News Network. In this episode, hosts Michael Vaughn and Lynn Kubrick explore the layered impact of Leonardo DiCaprio’s role as a UN Messenger of Peace for Climate Change. From his powerful speeches at major UN events and his groundbreaking documentary Before the Flood, to the strategic work of his foundation (now Re:wild) in partnership with UN agencies, this deep dive unpacks how DiCaprio leveraged his global platform to elevate the climate conversation. The episode also critically examines the challenges of celebrity diplomacy, balancing influence with accountability, and asks: how can fame truly fuel meaningful action in the fight for our planet?
