With the upcoming official delegation of French President François Hollande as he visits the Philippines by February in an effort to press for urgent action to fight climate change, known names from Hollywood, global leaders and United Nations officials are to join him.
Filmmaker-actor George Clooney, who also happens to be a political activist; and actor and environmental activist Leonardo di Caprio are most likely part of the list of VIPs to be invited to the climate trip.
Also on the list are actors Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Jeremy Irons, Marion Cotillard, Melanie Laurent and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The French government is assembling a high-level delegation of global climate advocates to highlight the significance of François Hollande’s visit to typhoon-ravaged Philippines.
A report by AFP said the said French leader will visit the Philippines “to build momentum for crucial climate change talks that France is hosting this year.”
The AFP said “Hollande hopes his visit would give a human face to climate change, as the Philippines bears the brunt of dozens of deadly storms every year, including the strongest on record, Supertyphoon ‘Haiyan’ [Yolanda] in November 2013.”
