UBC student biking Bangladesh to put overlooked impacts of climate change on display
A University of British Columbia student is just weeks away from biking 900 kilometres in the scorching heat, along roads notorious for their accident rates, to draw attention to the people bearing the brunt of climate change.
The 21-year-old is determined to change that. He and a friend will be using the cross-country cycling trip to speak with Bangladeshis about climate change and turn what they discover into a documentary. He’s also concerned about the political climate and the dangers of biking on Bangladesh’s roadways, but Rahman says the risk is worth it to him if he can get more attention on his people.
