Kasia Guzek serves as head of communications for Greenpeace Poland and has been involved in the environmental movement since 2004. Kasia focuses mainly on the climate campaign and just transition in the Polish energy sector, was an observer of climate negotiations, and took part in other political processes, but prefers activism. In free time, Kasia supports Parents of Future Poland and co-hosts the radio podcast “Band for the Earth”. In 2019, Greenpeace Poland activists climbed cranes at the Polish port of Gdansk to block the unloading of coal from Mozambique, and called on the government to move to renewable energy. Greenpeace Poland insists that Polish power plants must quit burning coal by 2030, and is suing Poland’s largest carbon emitter. Kasia said last year that when Polish authorities tell “miners that mining will continue in 2049, we have the impression that the government is not aware of the reality [of] the climate crisis.”
