Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister in the hit series, has called climate change “the big unknown” and warned of its devastating consequences.
Coster-Waldau made the remarks at the end of a three-day visit to the Maldives, which is facing a rise in its sea levels and the bleaching of its coral reefs.
The actor, who was in the country as a United Nations Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador, visited an atoll where several UNDP projects are located.
“Climate change is the big unknown because if we don’t get that under control it could put everything else in jeopardy. If the temperature rises more, the consequences can be absolutely devastating and then we won’t have the resources.”
