Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio met U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday (December 7) to have a discussion over how focusing on renewable, clean energy could create millions of jobs.
The Oscar winning actor along with the head of his foundation Terry Tamminen, the president-elect Donald Trump, and his daughter Ivanka Trump had a meeting at Trump Tower in New York City.
According to an Associated Press report, DiCaprio presented a framework to Trump on how to focus on renewable, clean energy could create millions of jobs.
DiCaprio has been talking about the climate change issue for a long time. Recently, the Titanic star co-produced and featured in the 9-minute documentary on climate change directed by Martin Scorsese which also features Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Ban Ki-Moon, and Pope Francis.
In a statement, Terry Tamminen, the CEO of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, said the pair gave a presentation to Mr Trump, his daughter Ivanka, and other members of Trump's team on how concentrating on renewable, clean energy could generate millions of jobs, AP reports.
"Today, we presented the President-elect and his advisers with a framework - which LDF developed in consultation with leading voices in the fields of economics and environmentalism - that details how to unleash a major economic revival across the United States that is centred on investments in sustainable infrastructure," Tamminen said.
"Our conversation focused on how to create millions of secure, American jobs in the construction and operation of commercial and residential clean, renewable energy generation."
After their discussion on climate change, the Hollywood actor gifted a copy of his documentary Before the Flood to the President-elect.
