He is in his fifth year studying at the University of Science and Technology in Kraków, majoring in Environmental Engineering at the Department of Fossil Fuels and Energy of the Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection. Renewable energy sources (RES) are his specialty and his passion. He also works on a voluntary basis for a non-profit organization PN Energie Cites, which support RES and energy efficiency initiatives. He believes that one of the ways to reduce emission of toxic substances causing global warming and other harmful phenomena is to disseminate RES technologies. It is also vital to ensure that such renewable energy sources are used reasonably. In his opinion, Challenge Europe gives young people an opportunity to make good use of their potential in order to prevent climate change.

Due to her university degree, Agata has been interested in environmental protection, particularly in climate change for a couple of years. As a trainer she participated in the first edition of ZeroCarbonCity project conducted by the British Council. Then, on behalf of the British Council, she coordinated the second edition of the workshop. She was also a project coordinator of Climate Exchange addressed to a group of experts dealing with climate change. Besides, Agata was a member of the Polish team working for CarbonGame - Emission Trade project (www.carbongame.org). As a result of the project implementation, an Internet education tool was created concerning the trade of CO2 emission authorisations. Agata Nagrabska has graduated from the Inter-Departmental Environment Protection Studies at Warsaw University. She would like Challenge Europe's Climate Advocates to make Polish people change their way of thinking about climate change. She thinks one should stop perceiving climate change as a purely environmental/ecological problem and start thinking about it as a factor which will have a direct impact on people's lives and economy.

He is a candidate for a doctor's degree at the Geography and Regional Studies Department of Warsaw University where he carries out integrated research into the natural environment and the relationship between the man and the environment in particular. So far he has co-operated with a number of NGOs, including the British Council, on climate change related projects. Michał thinks climate change is one of the most significant challenges that face humankind. Unfortunately, the problem is complex which is the reason why there are a lot of personal opinions and emotions and few concrete facts and real actions. His credo is: Firstly, you can change the world! Secondly, it requires a lot of effort. A change can be made through co-operation only, so the more contacts you have with people and institutions not related with the project the better it is for the project.
