Actress Sienna Miller has teamed up with Bollywood film stars to launch a climate change campaign.

Miller dropped in to promote a new collaboration between environmental campaigners and Bollywood's equivalent to the Oscars.

The International Indian Film Academy event will be held later this year in Sheffield, Bradford and Leeds after the Yorkshire region beat New York, Rome, Barcelona, Marrakech, Melbourne and Hong Kong as the venue for 2007.

Event organizers have teamed up with Global Cool, which is campaigning to get a billion people around the world to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Miller, 25, is planning to travel to India to witness first hand the effects of global warming.

Miller said: "I'm very excited about joining Global Cool and their campaign to tackle Global Warming."

"Climate change is an issue that is going to affect us all unless we act now and I truly believe Global Cool's approach of encouraging individuals to reduce their energy use will go a long way to solving the problem.

"I would also like to say how grateful I am to the International Indian Film Academy for giving us the opportunity to spread our messages and tips to their audience of 400 million people around the globe," she said.
