For decades, we've understood climate change, or global warming, caused by CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. This intensifies the greenhouse effect, raising global temperatures, melting ice, and collapsing ecosystems. Society's slow response has been alarming, but contemporary climate activism, particularly from young people, now offers hope. Radical systemic changes are crucial for humanity's survival.

Jakub Hrbáň, a Slovak coordinator for "Fridays For Future," embodies this movement. After high school, he joined the 2019 climate strike and studied global challenges in Sweden. He now leads "Miznúca Domovina," a project educating the public on the climate crisis, blending ecology, education, and passion. This talk was given at a TEDx event.
