Kate Strong
Multiple world record cyclist
Kate Strong is a behavioural change expert, author, climate adventurer, multiple world record cyclist, age-group World Champion triathlete and ex aerospace engineer. Kate is non-paid CEO to the Indian-based charity, Ek Beti Ek Cycle, enabling girls to stay in education through the power of cycles and is also mentor and supporter to numerous other charities within the sustainability and social equality space. Kate’s sporting career has evolved towards advocacy and engaging communities over the traditional competition format. She conceived and completed Climate Cycle, a 3,300 mile bike ride around mainland Britain on a hand-made bamboo bike where, during these three months, she visited 50 communities, charities, companies, initiatives and projects that are working towards mitigating climate change. These projects varied from nature-based solutions to innovative technologies removing microplastics from our waterways. She also worked in collaboration with two universities, one monitoring the air quality as she cycled around Britain and the other to explore the change behaviour required in individuals to tackle climate change. Kate is organising a mass-participation river cleanup world record attempt in March 2025, launching numerous legacy projects that will enable more people to change their behaviours in protecting nature.
