Wanted to build a bridge between science and civil society: Dia Mirza

At the Oxford India Forum, Dia Mirza emphasised the need to bridge the gap between science and civil society. She noted that while scientists were doing extraordinary work, their findings weren't reaching the mainstream or younger generations, especially those from privileged backgrounds. Mirza reflected on her journey, highlighting how climate reality has become more apparent over the past 20 years, and how she chose to be an anomaly in the Hindi film industry by collaborating with environmental and wildlife protection organisations. Her experiences have helped her build a network of experts, and she reiterated that she is committed to sharing their insights to raise awareness.
