About Challenge Europe

Featured Advocates

Czech Republic


Jan Baláč - Jan considers himself both entrepreneurial and thoughtful. He would like to be remembered as someone who engaged people by working together to solve the problems surrounding them. He is currently working with Czech Energy company, investing in emission offsets in China and other developing countries but feels that more can be done at home. In the near future he is going to study Technology Policy at the University of Cambridge and hopes that his experiences with the project and at university will complement each other.

Climate Change
