Climate change activist, public speaker and conservation communicator

Born in Haridwar to wildlife conservationists, Ridhima grew up with the dialogue of activism, evolving into a passionate, knowledgeable communicator for the planet herself. In 2017, when she was just nine years old, Pandey filed a petition against the Indian government at the National Green Tribunal for lack of climate action. Though the petition was ultimately dismissed, it brought the spotlight back onto the enormity of the climate crisis. In 2019, Ridhima Pandey became one of 16 children activists petitioning the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to hold five of the world’s leading economic powers accountable for their inaction on the climate crisis! Ridhima has herself witnessed the devastation caused by misled development projects and climate change, and noted the horrific pollution of the Ganges river. She has called for a complete ban on plastics, and minces no words when holding higher authorities accountable.

A role model for children everywhere, Ridhima, now 13, is frequently invited as a speaker for youth at various events. She has spoken at international conferences like the Notre Affaire à Tous in Paris and Xynteo Exchange in Norway. Listed as one of BBC’s top 100 most influential women in the world for the year 2020, she relentlessly communicates the rationale for science-led, heartfelt nature conservation to massive audiences.
