ROUND BRITAIN CLIMATE CHALLENGE

CIRCUMNAVIGATING THE COAST OF BRITAIN

A FIRST IN HISTORY

This journey was a first in history, Sacha and the team landed to recharge and rest with the interesting and inspirational people around the country, the ones who showed us exactly how climate change is changing our country, but also what we can do about it.

Our campaign involved Sacha Dench (aka ‘the human swan’) attempting something that had never been done before – a 3000+ mile circumnavigation of Britain in a specially adapted, green electricity powered paramotor. Because she could take off and land almost anywhere, Sacha and the team landed to recharge and rest with the interesting and inspirational people around the country, the ones who could show us exactly how climate change is changing our country, and what we can do about it.

“With the UK hosting COP26 this year, we need climate change at the top of the agenda. Replacing fossil fuels in transport with low carbon electricity is one of the steps to Net Zero. As Britain’s biggest generator of zero carbon electricity, generating power from wind, nuclear and solar, EDF is excited to support the Round Britain Climate Challenge. It is a brilliant initiative to highlight climate change and some of the amazing people tackling it. Let’s break some world records and let’s help Britain achieve Net Zero.”

Simone Rossi, EDF’s UK CEO
