Hugh Jackman Kicks Off Climate Week NYC

Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman addresses urgency for action on climate change at the 2009 Climate Week NYCkickoff at The New York Public Library on Monday (September 21).

“I hope to be a voice for the billion people in developing countries who will be the hardest hit by changing weather patterns, by the droughts and floods that destroy their crops and threaten their food security,” Hugh said in a statement. “Climate Week NYC provides an ideal forum to help underscore the urgency for world leaders to secure and fund an ambitious global climate change deal in Copenhagen that is effective, fair and binding.”
