Jakub Dobosiewicz

I am a young advocate dedicated to climate change, migration, and human rights. I am an activist of the WSCHÓD initiative in Poland, where we work to ensure climate and just energy transition is at the top of the political agenda. I am also the 2023 Rise Global Winner, laureate of the program that finds promising young people and provides them opportunities to serve others over their lifetimes.

I want to leave a mark and contribute to building a fairer, greener future for all of us. In the future, so as to be able to use my expertise for the benefit of others and scale my impact, I want to work in international human rights organisations.

As an Ambassador, I want to make the voices of young people heard and connect the climate crisis with its interconnected impact and causes. I will raise climate crisis awareness through my writing and creation of a journal for young activists to do the same. I want to show that we can all be climate heroes – all we need to do is start to act!
