She continued, "I think it''s high time that humanity understands what we have put our planet through. If you see in the last five years, the frequency of cyclones, the strength of cyclonic winds and typhoons are only going to keep increasing. Our cities are drying up, the earth is heating up at a crazy speed."
As per her Instagram profile, Pednekar identifies herself as a 'Climate Warrior'. She has constantly worked towards spreading awareness in the world regarding the importance of nature preservation and the adverse effects of climate change.
She explained more about the climate change phenomenon while mentioning, "Today, already the world is going through a major refugee crisis. In the next few years, we are going to have refugees because of climatic change. Millions and millions of people will be displaced irrespective of how rich or poor they are. It doesn't matter, in front of nature''s wrath we all are one. I really hope humanity wakes up. The planet is our home and we have to learn to coexist with every single species that exist on earth. Why do human beings feel their invincible? We share our planet with millions of other species but we feel haq sirf hamara hai (only we have a right on the planet) and that is ridiculous."
