Overview
Cycling is both a solution and a contributor to climate change. Our challenge as cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts is to reconcile these two and enable cycling to be a force for good for years to come. Join us for an evening as we explore the theme of climate change, impact and activism in cycling. Featuring three speakers covering topics from collective activism to business strategy to individual action – Protect Our Winters UK, Rapha's Sustainability Manager Adam Gardiner and Transcontinental Race winner and Rapha ambassador Emily Chappell. On the night, there will be an opportunity to buy pre-owned Rapha kit at a special price, with all proceeds donated directly to Protect Our Winters UK.
Hosts
Protect Our Winters UK
Protect Our Winters UK is a charity organisation that helps passionate outdoor people become effective climate advocates to protect the places and lifestyles they love.
They'll explore how cycling is being affected by the climate emergency, their imperfect advocacy ethos and how you can help influence change.
Adam Gardiner
While the act of cycling itself doesn't produce carbon, the industry built around cycling – including Rapha – does.
Rapha's Sustainability Manager, Adam Gardiner, will share how Rapha is working to reduce its total emissions at the pace and scale determined by the latest science, sharing information from our Impact Commitments and latest Impact Report.
Emily Chappell
Transcontinental Race winner and Rapha ambassador Emily Chappell will speak about the unexpected enjoyment she's found as she has adapted her cycling and travel to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
She will explore how her urge to do the right thing has evolved over her years of travelling by bike, as she's learned more about the world, and her impact on it.
