To raise awareness about climate change, Bhutanese climate advocate Jamyang Jamtsho Wangchuk is embarking on a tour across Australia. He launched his “Australia Edition 2025” campaign today by cycling approximately 150 kilometres from Adelaide to Meningie and will then head to Canberra. Over the course of the month-long campaign, he will read letters from Bhutanese students written to world leaders. The letters were collected during his campaign in Bhutan. For the past four years, Jamyang has been on a mission, cycling through schools and colleges in Bhutan and Nepal to spread the urgent message of climate change.
During his campaign in Australia, he plans to cover over 4,000 kilometres, travelling by bicycle and public transport. He says his effort aligns with the UNESCO and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Glacier Preservation.
