“Every day brings news about how we’re sprinting away from common sense and care for our planet,” said De Niro, 74, at an event in New York last year.
The forum will gather prominent world leaders, thought-leaders and policy makers for a series of dynamic sessions focused on climate change and its impact on human prosperity and the youth.
The forum will be hosted by Al Zeyoudi.
