Martin Abel studied law at the University of Oxford and Charles University, which he completed with a Ph.D. Since 2019, he has been connecting his legal education with the decarbonization of the economy, especially the energy sector.

In the past, he founded Klub Agrivoltaiky, which sought to legalize the dual use of land for agriculture and energy. He led the Czech Climate Litigation, an association that succeeded at court with a lawsuit against the state for its inaction vis-à-vis climate change. He also devoted analytical work to biofuels and hydrogen. Martin is currently contracted by the Czech Ministry of the Environment to work on the identification of the so-called renewable acceleration areas and related changes in legislation and spatial planning.
