    It’s fair to say that many inspiring celebrity activists currently leading the climate change fight are all successfully using their status to spread awareness about the dangers of climate change.


    Celebrities are in a unique position compared to the average person. Thanks to their profession and status, they have a massive platform from which they can interact with and inspire people.

    Some celebrities use this power for good as they help lead, inspire and educate about everything involved with the climate change fight. These celebrities aim to contribute positively to the world’s fight against climate change.

    This article will list who we believe to be the top ten inspiring celebrity activists leading the climate change fight.

    10. Rihanna – her foundation has pledged $15 million to organisations fighting for climate justice
