Law / Climate change/environmental businesses or NGOs in Poland [66]

Hi all,

Any ideas what the market is like for sustainability, carbon management or environmental management organizations in Poland? I'm curious about both NGOs and consultancies, if possible in Krakow. I did a basic Google search and found nothing, but that's probably because I searched it in English.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the inputs on the jobs side, appreciate it. I'm not purely interested for jobs though. I'd prefer to steer away from a jobs discussion, as I've seen many job related questions on these boards already and I figure the answers are much the same!

I will be more specific...

- To what extent do companies talk about energy efficiency, carbon emissions and environmental management? How is the market in corporate sustainability management in Poland?

- How big of an issue is climate change at political level? What kind of policies are in place or coming in (e.g. COP-15 stance, cap-and-trade, etc.)?

- What do the NGOs in environmental issues do, and are there many? Is it a small market or a large market, do they have trouble getting attention or trouble managing their huge workloads!?

- Are Polish citizens aware of their carbon footprints, aware of what they can do to reduce it and care to do something about it?

In other words, how established is Poland in going green...
