Leonardo DiCaprio Gives 90-Minute Presentation to Donald Trump on Environment

Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio met with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to discuss green jobs and the environment.

DiCaprio and Terry Tamminen, the CEO of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, delivered a 90-minute presentation to Trump detailing a plan for investment in a sustainable infrastructure. The meeting comes just days after Trump met with leading environmental activist and former Vice President Al Gore at Trump Tower.

“Our conversation focused on how to create millions of secure, American jobs in the construction and operation of commercial and residential clean, renewable energy generation,” Tamminen said in a statement.

President-elect Trump recently appointed climate-change denialist Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump has previously tweeted that global warming is a hoax and has vowed to cancel the Paris Agreement, an accord that brings nations together to undertake efforts to combat climate change.

DiCaprio also gifted Ivanka Trump with a DVD of his National Geographic documentary, “Before the Flood,” a film that explores climate change and what steps must be taken to prevent the catastrophic disruption of Earth’s inhabitants.

DiCaprio has long leveraged his celebrity status to champion environmental causes. He serves as a United Nations Messenger of Peace for climate change, and he received the Clinton Global Citizen Award in 2014. He established the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998 with the mission of protecting the world’s last wild places. In a statement, his foundation added that “climate change is bigger than politics, and the disastrous effects on our planet and our civilization will continue regardless of what party holds majorities in Congress or occupies the White House.”
