Recalling, BLACKPINK earned a lot of attention when they released their campaign video titled "Climate Action in Your Area #COP26" in 2020. The clip aimed to raise awareness toward climate change and the imminent conference that the United Kingdom would host.

With their recent installment as the newest ambassadors of the "United Nations Climate Change Conference U.K. 2021," BLACKPINK expected to actively promote #COP26 until the full conference that would happen on Nov. 1 to Nov. 12, 2021.

BLINKS, of course, are very happy after learning about the latest milestone of the quartet

"I think we all probably saw it but definitely the documentary that Sir David Attenborough presented, 'A Life on Our Planet,' has helped us a lot and various other platforms has helped us to actually learn more about what we could actually do to sustain our beautiful planet," Rosé shared.

"I think we've all still got so much more to learn that it feels good that we can be able to participate in such as important cause," the "GONE" songstress added.

"Basically, the documentary showed us how precious our planet is and how vulnerable it is right now. So, we're losing more of the natural world every day and time is running out," BLACKPINK member Jennie stated.

"We just really felt like we need to say something, you know?" The K-Pop idol went on.

"Our message is that it's not too late. We can still learn more and work to it better," Jisoo said.

"The first step is to know what's happening with climate change because it affects all of us. We want to learn more and we hope our fans do too," BLACKPINK member Lisa furthered.
