Leonardo DiCaprio (UN Messenger of Peace) at the opening of Climate Summit 2014 

Is it too much of a cost for UN to actually buy a HD camera?

Give that man a OSCAR!

I have to study this in my 9th std English text book in Kerala... Really good words by him 😁

God he's such a good public speaker. Eyes straight ahead, absolutely no signs that he's just reciting the script, perfect pronunciation and speaking that emphasizes and delivers important points

It's nice to see a celebrity who isn't awash in their own self indulgence. As most of them are running their misinformed mouths on reality shows, thanking each other pretentiously over award ceremonies, or sitting in privileged chairs judging mediocre talent, DiCaprio is addressing the world on an urgent issue in a mature and responsible manner; this is what happens when a person is given an opportunity, and then captures it and maximizes it- allowing it to then realize its full potential. *Good for him.*

We can't change the planet until we change ourselves first. We need to change the way we think, the things we believe and the attitudes we carry around with us. All these things are what cause our problems.

"Please welcome newly appointed United Nations Messenger of peace, Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio" *Plays Titanic theme song*

That was 5 years ago and till this moment they still arguing whether climate change is a real thing or not .

Don't read the comment section. Its a shitstorm down there.

He doesnt need an oscar, he needs a nobel prize of awesomeness.

the boy lectures us from his 50-metre petrol-powered mega yacht

FROM INDIA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ KERALA

MAD props to Leonardo for memorizing his entire speech, speaking with clear enunciation, and for articulating his points without breaking a sweat!!!

Admire that its not some promotion trick for Leo, cuz ever since ive been followin his facebook page, he kept postin information about climate changes, extermination of rare animal species, starving people in africa and so on. Huge respect.

Eni 9th students are here??

My textbook had this speech I was really attracted to his speech and am here to watch his speech

Wise words indeed. However, nothing can change in a monetary system, for its based on perpetual growth. How can that be on an finite planet? It cannot be sustained.

Although he does acting, he is very serious about these issues and he will persist in support for change. At least he is willing to take his time and on his own dime to take this step. Very bright guy.....all respect to him!

One of our chapters is this speech We need study this if wanna pass 😄♥️

World Leaders looks like School kids, a teacher is teaching and kids are trying to understand.

Why is he not running for PRESIDENT??

"If you tell me what kind of airplane he rides just to invalidate what he is saying, then you clearly have no interest in discussing the actual words coming out of his face." Adam Mordecai

In my ninth standard I was study his speech in my english text book. That time to I am a big fan of him. At present I am studying in 12th standard. I always like to protect our earth. I like very much to telling speech

He talks the Talk but doesn't walk the walk.

DiCaprio for president!

Damn actors doesn't even need to look at their notes

This was 9 years ago ! 😢 Thank you Mister Leonardo Di Caprio for your engagement 💓 for us and ours 😘

I absolutely love how the UN doesnt have atleast 720p. really makes you wonder doesnt it

I love how they zoom into China, because seriously: China. Get your shit together.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a University professor of Environmental Science to give a talk like this?

The Most Remarkable Speech of the year.. Leonardo DiCaprio you are Correct & Right on what's going on .. Outstanding 👍Thank you kindly from my heart for beeing with us all 💕🍃🌍🍃💕✌💖

its been seven years since this speech,what significant actions have we done till now?

to all the people posting hate comments towards Leonardo, ask yourselves what are you doing to help this crisis... Like it or not this is GOOD for EVERYONE a powerful person in hollywood being brave enough to face the ridicule and come forward to speak about these issues to the UN! Well done lad I respect you

"You can either make history, or you will be vilified for it." This might be Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance yet. But this time, he's not pretending. #climate2014 #leonardodicaprio #UN #climatechange 

5 years ago. .wow!

Anyone want a clean earth?🌍🤔 👇🏼

These 'world leaders' recognize the problem and the gravity of the situation. They understand the scale of the challenge and the changes required also. And yet, despite near universal agreement on the need for action, they stand still - paralyzed into inactivity because of their servitude to the needs of capitalism, the seemingly omnipotent economic system that they pray to and bow down before. The solution is not to be found within the system that has been the cause to produce this predicament, we have to go beyond this system and change it!

One of the best speeches I have ever heard! Please please please, help my children... Please United Nations, help us! please help us... we are all worried about our children's future. Thank you very much!

Love you diCaprio good efforts 😍 We love our earth and biosphere its our home🥰

In present I'm studying in 9th std and I have this speech to study in English chapter 9 liked the way he presented 👏👏

To me, it's very weird to see DiCaprio out of a movie, cause a watched a lot of his movies lately.. But this sounded like a smart and very, very honest speech.

I f*cking love this man! He is one of the best actors I know and ge's such a great person!! Well done leonardo!

of all actors who can deliver this speech, Leo is the perfect one to do it

He has a Great Heart which Concerns on the Life of Every Living Citizen On Earth and the People who will be born In the Globe in the Future. A Great Service by Him for the Mankind.

Brilliant speech Mr Leonardo DiCaprio, you will be next president of the united state of america.

This trailer sucks.

for those who dont know leonardo dicaprio has a mega yacht that run on high gasoline fuel that poison the sea

I have to admit that floating around on a yacht all day like Leonard does due to rising sea levels doesn't sound too bad. Bring on the climate change!

Give this man an Oscar.

He learned his speech, he did not look at his paper one moment. He's awesome! Give that man an Oscar!!

Actually he is not an actor " he is the messager of climate crisis". So many peoples come and speech it eg: gratatonburg, then what happend we don't action, this our all in the world's peoples time. Let's start a new wonderful earth.

He's the representative of EARTH

I pretend for a living lol, I love how he straight up admits it, not that theres anything wrong with it

I remember he was the first one to tweet on Amazon fire.

man he memorized all lines what an actor. Good memory and a good citizen. Great job Leo

I found this at year 2019... thank you Mr DiCaprio, you have made lot of work, and as I see, nobody listened. I beg you, continue, go forth, help us as you can. I have children and I am afraid what world they will have to live in. May the gods help and forgive us, but I don't think they can. We work on how to live at Mars, now we have to use that technology to live at Earth. I belive in sci-fi, but I wish us a better future. I still hope, but the storm is coming.

" Only difference is, i pretend for a living, and you do not " I busted out laughing lol

I cannot believe his has dislikes what is wrong with you ppl

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Not just say, great speech and give this man an Oscar. The fact that this was published 7 years ago is scary. We now have to endure the rising climate on our own and simply closing an eye and walking away isn’t an option anymore. I‘m scared for our future and know everyone is too. I don’t know much and I doubt that I could be the reason for a change. But I know that everyone around us does make an impact. Let’s Learn now and fight for our earth, we cannot let 7 years pass by that easily again!

ever since he was a young teenager he wanted to be an environmentalist - this must have been a huge deal for him and he killed it! yahhhss leo

Oh. I got goosebumps. Some excellent points, Leo, ma man.

Leo ily. 2021 ❤️💯🔥

Great man. Delivering speech without looking to text

Whether you agree with this or not, you can't deny that was a really good speech.

So many people complaining and so many doubts. I feel sorry for them. This was a great speech!

I know. Thanks Leo ❤.

his best performance ever. its a shame almost everyone in that room ignored him, either because they wanted to or because they didnt care. as he said, you can make a choice, and history will decide how to view your choice

"It's like the only way to get these people to listen is to have someone like Leonardo DiCaprio to tell it to them" - not a joke

2:52 *I wanna sit on his face* 2:56 "What?" 2:57 "nothing..."

He didn’t check his papers a single time

Thank you for your messages. God’s love are from all of our educators who taught us ( United national even) English language. From south to east north to west / English teachers has more history and are the one and only ( pay the fundamentals of your projects that I wanted to let you know but as much as I appreciate your all messages to us in media (

Wow. Every time I hear him speak, especially on issues like these, my respect grows for him so much more. What a gentlemen. If only more of us were stand up citizens the way he is. Great role model.

The whole speech is a lesson in our English text book (Kerala syllabus 9th Standard)

Couldn't stop saying EXACTLY! all along his speech

I am living here

Leonardo DiCaprio (UN Messenger of Peace) at the opening of Climate Summit 2014

Thank you, Mr. Secretary-General, your excellencies, ladies and gentleman, and distinguished guests. I’m honored to be here today, I stand before you not as an expert but as a concerned citizen, one of the 400,000 people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday, and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis. As an actor I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe mankind has looked at climate change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, as if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we know better than that. Every week , we’re seeing new and undeniable climate events, evidence that accelerated climate change is here right now. Droughts are intensifying, our oceans are acidifying, with methane plumes rising up from the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events, and the West Antarctic and Greenland ice-sheets melting at unprecedented rates, decades ahead of scientific projections. None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria. It is fact. The scientific community knows it, industry knows it, governments know it, even the United States military knows it. The Chief of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Locklear, recently said that climate change is our single greatest security threat. My Friends, this body - perhaps more than any other gathering in human history - now faces this difficult, but achievable task. You can make history… or be vilified by it. To be clear, this is not about telling people to change their light bulbs or buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown BEYOND the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries, and governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action. Now must be our moment for action. We need to put a pricetag on carbon emissions, and eliminate government subsidies for oil, coal and gas companies. We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free-market economy, they do not deserve our tax dollars, they deserve our scrutiny. For the economy itself will die if our eco-systems collapse. The good news is that renewable energy is not only achievable but good economic policy. This is not a partisan debate; it is a human one. Clean air and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics, it is a question of our own survival. This is the most urgent of times, and the most urgent of messages. Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living. But you do not. The people made their voices heard on Sunday around the world and the momentum will not stop. But now it is YOUR turn, the time to answer humankind’s greatest challenge is now. We beg of you to face it with courage. And honesty. Thank you.

Let no man decieve u

Thank you for caring, Leonardo DiCaprio... :)

I pretend for a living but you don't. Wooaahh 🔥

Great speech. Perfectly stated.

You had my curiosity now you have my attention

I think he touched upon a point that isn’t often mentioned, that this isn’t a constant rise in temperature or CO2 or methane gas, but there is a positive feedback loop that is quickly accelerating the levels of all three beyond the point of no return. If you look at any biological organism there are mechanisms which maintain homeostasis, but also a point where an attack from a pathogen (us) creates positive feedback in the wrong directions and eventually kills the organism.

Leonardo you are a legend bro! Keep going, don't give up.. Let's save our planet earth!

after that speech, we love you even if you don't have an Oscar yet

This was an outstanding speech

this is 7 years ago 💔

_Або ми творитимемо історію, або будемо спаплюжені нею._ *Мабуть, найкраще виконання ДіКапріо, але цього разу без перформансів.* До речі, я також колись цікавився кліматом, але вже 2 роки цікавлюсь політикою. І дуже сподіваюсь, що колись у мене таки зникнуть приводи нею цікавитись...

Oh Man.. Now I know why his speech at the Oscar 2016 is so amazing...... He truly means it.

This is our lesson in 9th and it is so good

What a way to preserve the young 20 year olds in his old age. True icon and hero

People like Leo are born once in a billion

That was his best act ever. He should have gotten an award for this act

He seems like a very happy young boy looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!

For me. Rainforest is the most important thing along with the marine life

I really love him 😍❤👍

Found this video while studying rhetorical measures. The speech is a good example for a second language speaker to understand how the use of ethos, logos, and pathos could effectively attract audiences’ attention. With the support of the shared concern construction, practical evidence, and a sense of urgency, the proposal comes with a strong persuasion. The man made a good use of the appeal as a celebrity.

I walk for a living love

I love you, Leonardo!❣️
