About Me

I am Ridhima Pandey, a young environmental activist from India, passionate about combating climate change. Born in 2007 in Uttarakhand, I've been deeply influenced by my surroundings and the environmental challenges my community faces. I started my journey after witnessing the devastating effects of the kedarnath flash floods that occurred in my home state Uttarakhand in 2013. At the age of nine, I filed a petition against the Indian government, challenging their insufficient action on climate change, which I believe violates my rights and those of future generations.
In 2019, I joined 15 other youth activists, including Greta Thunberg, in filing a complaint with the United Nations against five countries for their inaction on climate change. My mission is to raise awareness about environmental issues and push for stronger, immediate actions to protect our planet. Through my advocacy, I strive to inspire others to join the fight for a sustainable and equitable future for all.
