Students hike to create awareness on climate change and climate justice

Climate change is a global phenomenon. Today, as the country embraces solutions to tackle climate change, a group of students from different schools in Thimphu went on a hike, talking about climate change and climate justice. Led by a young Indian undergraduate student, the group hiked from Changangkha to Kuensel Phodrang.

At eight in the morning, the group of over 30 students carrying packed lunch and sacks set off from Changangkha towards Kuensel Phodrang.

For the young minds, the path ahead promised more than just a hike. It was a journey with purpose.

Students picked up waste along the four-hour trail. As they stopped to take a breather, these young individuals shared their thoughts and experiences with climate change.

The hike is organised by Earthling, a group of young climate advocates. The group, which started as a cleaning hike, now advocates climate education to young people.

Earthling founder Drishana Kundu said that advocating on climate change and climate justice to young people is important.

“We want them to know from now, right from the outset how climate change is also like a social justice problem and how it is not only about plastics. And we want them to do little things on their own and create whatever difference, so that they can inspire their peers.”

Kuenzang Dolkar Dorji, hike leader said “Most often when you think about climate change environment, everyone’s notion is towards reducing plastic and cleaning, but that is just one small part of the whole idea of climate conservation. So, whenever we are on this hike, as we said, our secondary objective would be to clean. We find our ways and use our talents to help in climate conservation.”

The students who joined the hike said they have much to learn about climate change.

Uma Gurung, a student said “a year ago, I took part in a hike organised by Team Earthling, and that profoundly changed my perspective. They are very much dedicated to change and bringing a positive impact in our community. I realised that many of us are aware of climate issues, but none of us are taking action to address them.”

Sonam Zam, another student said “Being here, it is a good thing because firstly, we are taking care of our health. Secondly, we can understand climate change. We get to know about these things, so it is a good opportunity.”

The Earthling founder said she plans to expand Earthling beyond Bhutan and strengthen climate education among youth.

This is the 14th climate education hike. Different students from different schools are invited to the hike each time.
