Jaydip Lakhankiya is a climate walker traveling from Malta to India over approximately 12,000 kilometers across around 20 countries. A farmer's son from Gujarat, he is walking to make climate change visible as a lived human issue, not just an environmental headline. Along the way he collects waste, speaks with communities, and documents the journey daily.
