While Poland committed in 2020 to meet EU climate and energy policies and adopted a national target to increase the use of alternate energy to at least 27% by 2030, in general, adoption of green practices in the business sector and environmental education and consciousness among the public remains relatively low. The Russo-Ukrainian war has brought about inflation and cut Poland off from Russian natural gas, likely making reaching these goals more difficult, but could mean there is a chance to replace it with green energy to better ensure their national energy security. This program seeks candidates from government, civil society, and the private sector who are interested in developing strategies for environmental campaigns such as promoting energy efficiency, fighting against pollution and littering, promotion of recycling, and natural resource conservation. The program would provide models for public-private collaboration in the plan and design of environmental goals and targets; marketing and media strategies; funding and budget management; and other elements that contribute to formulating successful environmental campaigns.
