I am a 21 year old from Slovakia. I am interested in environmental issues, sustainability and climate policy. I am a student at Palacký University, currently studying abroad at Malmö University as an international student through Erasmus. I want to share my experiences and knowledge in the topic of climate change awareness. I will share my ideas through active involvement in the POW organisation. This non-profit organisation fights against the climate crisis in the outdoor sector and sport industry. It also highlights the importance of this topic through popular athletes, their projects and campaigns. As a very passionate hobby athlete, I consider it is my duty to take action to show that I care about climate. Also I see the sport and its link with sustainability as being a undercommunicated topic. I take on this project as my climate action commitment. I will try to do my best and be a a part of  a systematic solutions.

As a Climate Pact ambassador, I plan to advocate against climate change at a local, regional and national level through working with different organisations that campaign for climate action. My main motivation behind my campaigning is to leave behind a better world than I found, and to educate as many people as I can on how important it is to take care of the world we live in for as long as we can.
