Positive Action

Indian endurance cyclist Vedangi Kulkarni is the youngest woman to have cycled worldwide. Pedaling that far gave her the time to realize her desire to learn more about the climate crisis and to be part of the change. She finds her way by connecting with the “Ride The Change” community. A collective of cyclists is coming together for a yearly ride to raise awareness around positive climate solutions. Riding from Swansea to London, she gets to pedal with purpose and find her voice. This film was made in collaboration with BBC Studios Natural History Unit & Moondance Foundation. Their #OurFrozenPlanet initiative brings you urgent stories about the effects of climate change around the globe and accounts of the people dedicated to championing positive change to protect the future of our planet.
