Jaydip Lakhankiya, an Indian national from Bhavnagar, will embark on a 12,000 kilometre walk from Malta to India to raise awareness about climate change and inspire action for a sustainable future.
Jaydip has experience with backpacking journeys, having toured India for 182 days with minimal funds.
I choose to walk rather than taking transport because in a world driven by speed, emissions and consumption, I chose to slow down-to walk-as a symbol of what we urgently need: A shift from carbon emitting to carbon neutral.
Jaydip is building his social media presence to spread awareness about climate change and his upcoming journey.
Author summary: Jaydip walks 12,000km for climate awareness.
