I have been involved in climate action for decades. The first time I heard about climate change (specifically about rise of global temperature and related rise of CO2 level) was back to 1986, when my teacher told us about this. This not only ignited a spark about the importance of action, but showed me the key role of education and quality transmitted scientifically based messages. I have been involved in many climate-related campaigns to date, including having attended the crucial Paris COP. But I can say that only the appearance of the high school climate movement has shifted my climate activities into a higher orbit. This is when and why I decided to write a Plea for systematic climate action, which was. in a short time. signed by more than 550 Croatian scientists and then addressed to Croatian state institutions. Since then, I have primarily been working within the Scientists for Climate, an interface between science, NGOs and politics. Being an Ambassador will mean an extension of these activities. 

My aim is to create a activities database that anyone can open and easily pick a activity or a game related to nature and climate change for their children. Whether it is a teacher in primary school or non-formal educator, they should be able to quickly find all materials - rules, needed equipment and facts - in one place.

My activities will focus on supporting and engaging individuals and institutions for transformative action.

As a coach under Climate KIC and national coordinator for Climate education, I will mobilize local engagement, emphasizing the importance of climate education.

El cambio climatico es un problema que nos afecta a todos y a todos los niveles, es por ello que debemos actuar rapidamente.

Un sector de vital importancia es el sector agricola, donde los efectos repercuten directamente por cambios en la fenologia de cultivos y en el bienestar animal. 

A su vez participan en el problema y como posible solución al actuar como sumideros de CO2, uno de los principales gases de efecto invernadero.

Es por todo ello que es necesario la concienciacion en este sector.

Translation:

Climate change is a problem that affects us all at all levels, which is why we must act quickly.

One sector of vital importance is the agricultural sector, where the effects have a direct impact on crop phenology and animal welfare.

At the same time, they participate in the problem and as possible solution by acting as CO2 sinks, one of the main greenhouse gases.

It is for all these reasons that awareness in this sector is necessary.
