“It is with great pleasure and pride that I can introduce Will Steger as my patron. His work both in the Arctic and within the classroom is something that I truly aspire to; his feats of exploration and discovery have always left me spell bound. Will has pioneered the way for sending back expedition blogs and photographs to the classroom and I am deeply honored to have been recognised by such a man.”
As an explorer of the polar regions for over 20 years, I have seen first hand the real and grave impacts of climate change on our planet. It is critically important that we educate our young people on the reality of the climate crisis and inspire them to take action on solutions. Antony Jinman has launched a brilliant educational campaign, engaging youth from around the globe through his adventure experience. The world will benefit from Antony’s efforts to educate and inspire action, and I applaud him for his valiant work.
