Urging people to look beyond countries and borders, she said,

“We have one earth. Instead of looking at each other, we should look within ourselves and make little changes.”

It’s the little changes, she said, that would ultimately help address the “extremely urgent problem” of climate degradation.

Priyanka Chopra also spoke about the issue of malnutrition in India.
