Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau stressed the importance of transitioning to a 'greener world' and renewable energy sources.
As a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, Coster-Waldau's work is focused on climate action and gender equality and in 2018, he helped launch The Lion's Share. The initiative, created by the UNDP and partners Mars, Nielsen, BBDO and Finch, aims to help tackle crises in nature, biodiversity and climate change, by encouraging brands to contribute 0.5% of their media spend for campaigns which feature animals.
He said The Lion's Share fund had been helping where it could throughout the pandemic to provide small grants to those working directly with wildlife, in an effort to provide economic empowerment and incentivize biodiversity protection. "I want them to be able to travel wherever they want in the world and not feel that they have to act in a different way because they're women," he said. "There are so many countries, they don't have the same rights as men. That does not make sense, it's insane, let's just get that done.
Since the eighth and final season of the hugely successful HBO series aired in 2019, he has created his own production company and bought a second home in Los Angeles.
