Alec Baldwin calls for action on climate change at UN

NEW YORK - Alec Baldwin has called for action on climate change at the UN headquarters after meeting indigenous people at the 2015 Paris conference.

He said at the conference: "I recognise - as does anyone that is paying attention - that indigenous peoples across this planet are on the front lines of the fight to protect forests and deserve and need the support and protection of the international community." He added: "I'm an American, and I love my country. I'm very proud of my country but I also recognise that the United States is built on a core of building blocks and those are: political resources; friendly and manageable borders; hard work; innovation; ingenuity, but also slavery and the enslavement of indigenous peoples."
