Climate change is the biggest threat to our civilisation.

I have been very interested in the subject since 1998.

Since 2006 our NGO Gorichka has spread awareness on the subject of the problems and solutions to the climate crisis. I am very motivated to continue this work with the weekly gatherings of the “climate anonymous” group.

My aim is to produce a pilot Landscape Adaptation Plan for the Czech Republic and to extend our model to the whole EU and then to other countries in the world that have weak resilience to climate change. I want to focus with my team on education on climate impacts, training local people in each country through a network of national coordinators, science and research, developing our IT method using citizen science and machine learning, getting young people to adapt landscapes and settlements.

Hi everyone. 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.
