The Biomimicry Challenge in Ukraine: Green empowerment accelerated by volunteers

Martin Zelinka is a UN Youth Volunteer fully funded by the Czech Republic serving with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine. He has been engaged in a cool green project introducing biomimicry principles to Ukrainian audience. Biomimicry is another word for nature-inspired innovation to solve human design challenges.

Martin and a team of Online Volunteers working on the project are excited to help Ukrainian pioneers uncover biomimetic solutions to their problems. They are part of the national Biomimicry Challenge* organized by UNDP's Accelerator Lab project, with the assistance of the Biomimicry Institute. This all-Ukrainian competition seeks to find ideas inspired by natural systems.
