Actor and environmental activist Dia Mirza has marked Earth Day 2025 with a powerful call to action, sharing alarming climate statistics and urging immediate steps to address the escalating climate crisis.
In her Instagram post, the UN Secretary General Advocate for Sustainable Development Goals highlighted recent findings from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that serve as a stark reminder of our planet’s precarious state.
“The latest UNEP findings are a wake-up call we can’t afford to ignore,” Mirza wrote, listing several concerning statistics:
– Global greenhouse gas emissions reached a record high in 2022
– To remain within 1.5°C of warming, emissions must be cut by 42% by 2030
– Urban areas contribute 70% of CO2 emissions
– Only 29% of electricity comes from renewable sources
– Fossil fuels continue to dominate energy systems while climate-fueled disasters increase yearly

The Path Forward
Mirza outlined a clear direction for addressing these challenges, stating: “The path forward is clear: we need to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. We need cleaner cities, greener choices, and policies rooted in science and compassion.”
She emphasized that individual actions matter, encouraging followers to “Choose sustainable practices. Support clean energy. Hold leaders accountable.”
The post concludes with a hopeful message: “Let Earth Day be your starting point—not just a reminder. Together, we can change the future.”
Dia’s Environmental Advocacy
This Earth Day message aligns with Mirza’s long-standing commitment to environmental causes. As a current UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate and UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador, she consistently uses her platform to raise awareness about climate issues.
Just days earlier, Mirza shared her nature experiences with her son Avyaan on World Health Day, writing: “Make a pledge to spend more time in Nature. Nature is a healer.” The post detailed their exploration with Roots Nature Club, emphasizing how connecting children with nature fosters environmental stewardship.
“This relationship our kids form with nature helps them value how deep our connection is with one another,” she wrote. “This bond leads to love, respect and environmental stewardship. What better way to work towards improving the health of the environment and planet?”
Balancing Activism And Artistry
Beyond her environmental work, Mirza continues to balance her activism with her acting career. Recently, she promoted “Kaafir The Movie,” streaming on ZEE5, where she plays Kainaaz Akhtar, a Pakistani citizen caught in a militant situation. The film has garnered positive reviews, with Mirza highlighting its impressive IMDb rating in recent promotional posts.
She also recently shared her experience from the film “Dhak Dhak,” posting a motorcycle riding clip with the caption “The heart still goes #DhakDhak just watching this!!! What a feeling to overcome fear.”
Additionally, Mirza has been involved with Project Mumbai’s initiative to make Mumbai the “Kindness Capital of India,” promoting their anthem “Mumbai, My Love” as “a love letter to the people who make this city unstoppable.”
Personal Connection To Nature
Dia’s environmental advocacy appears deeply personal. In a touching post about her late father’s birthday, she shared how he was “deeply connected to nature. It grounded him. He listened to it. Spoke through it.” This connection seems to have profoundly influenced her own relationship with the natural world.
In another recent post titled “Hope In Bloom,” she advised: “When the noise of the world gets too loud, step outside. Root yourself in stillness. Let nature hold your heart gently.”
Through consistent messaging across her platform, Dia Mirza continues to demonstrate how entertainment industry influence can be channeled toward meaningful environmental advocacy and action.
