As a Climate Ambassador, I will promote our Green Deal goals locally and regionally working together with national as well as European levels. My aim is to increase dialogue with local authorities and citizens of my home city and region on how to best put our climate and environmental policy commitments into practice. Tampere has already taken many important steps towards circular economy and carbon neutrality, but more can be done. Good local practices can be linked better to European goals.

I will continue to educate, share information and raise awareness through all possible channels. Currently I do it through Instagram, Youtube, Tia Tok and in person through the events we organise at Less&Conscious. Information is power and as such, I always work to make it more accessible to all people who want to take care of the planet.

As a dedicated environmentalist and visionary leader, I have founded and led a successful non-profit organisation that spearheads innovative climate action initiatives globally. Through strategic community engagement and dynamic partnership-building, I have leveraged my expertise and network to achieve significant milestones in tackling climate change and protecting the environment. I am committed to advancing our climate action approach and collaborating with like-minded individuals and organisations to build a more sustainable future for our planet and future generations.

He holds an MBA from WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management as well as several certifications in sustainability reporting. Within the 2019 DZ BANK Fellowship by the American Council on Germany, he researched the impact of fossil fuel divestment on the financial system in the US. Happy to connect, present and translate the goals of the Climate Pact.

Since 2019 I conduct investigations into the negative consequence of climate anxiety in young adults. These consequences have an impact on the mental health of individuals that perceived themselves and their community as unable to purpose effective behavior to mitigate climate change. The scientific literature on this issue suggested that the perception of self and community efficacy could lead to adopting pro-environmental behavior. I would study this phenomenon and spread information about it.

We have not only a political but also a moral obligation to implement environmentally friendly policies. The challenge of climate change is not just a problem we have to deal with but at the same time an opportunity for sustainable, green growth.The Region of Thessaly is leading in this effort and is a region with a deep green environmental footprint. 

I am a strong-willed advocate for the environment, a planet and people person. As European Climate Pact Ambassador, my challenge is to make people understand that, together, we can make a difference and protect our future. Raising awareness of climate change, impacts and solutions, through school workshops, conferences and gatherings with sustainability-focused companies, will be one of my top priorities.

Soy voluntario ambiental con el claro convencimiento de que la mejor acción es el ejemplo. 
Vivo en Andalucía, una de las zonas de la UE donde mayor es el impacto del Cambio Climático. 
Lograr mantener los equilibrios naturales y conseguir que el progreso de las personas sea compatible con la biodiversidad es nuestro gran reto colectivo de los próximos años.
Para ello debemos sustentar nuestras acciones en la conciencia y en hábitos de compra y consumo responsables con todos.

I am an environmental volunteer with the clear conviction that the best action is by example.
I live in Andalusia, one of the areas of the EU where the impact of Climate Change is greatest.
Maintaining natural balances and ensuring that people's progress is compatible with biodiversity is our great collective challenge for the coming years.
To do this, we must support our actions in awareness and in responsible purchasing and consumption habits with everyone.

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I will work everyday to advance the goal of a sustainable future. My work will focus on increasing public education regarding the climate transition through analysis, outreach and engagement. Through my organization (Global Challenge) I will continuously advocate for the inclusion of the broad public on these matters, in order to ensure a just climate transition. My aim is to continue to bridge the gap between research and action.

As a person that grew up with a comfort of a modern life’s pleasures, it took it’s time until I’ll make myself aware at what cost it is coming. Indeed, it made me first sad and sorrow. Thinking the ways to overcome them brought me to world where science on hands with ecology and universe presents us a smart way of existence. The world where we one step forward in understanding our planet better and cooperating with it smarter.

People have a major impact on the environment, with each individual emitting anywhere from 3.18 ton of GHG each year. Using renewable and clean energy will have a significant influence on climate protection. In my lectures, I have utilised a variety of applications to compute carbon footprints, water footprints, and climate effects, such as electricity maps and climate accounts. These apps motivate people and assist to reduce personal emissions. I hope I can further introduce these apps to new audiences.

I live in Asturias, a privileged place that makes people aware of the need of their care and protection.

We need to know the worst problem we face as humanity, the climate change, and the best solutions we have to deal with it.

That's why I enjoy creating content and researching from a multidisciplinary perspective as an environmental scientist. It's time to act.

In a time where “facts are uncertain, values in dispute, stakes high, and decisions urgent” (Funtowicz and Ravetz, 1993: 744), effective communication and informed policy-making have never been more crucial. My objective as a Climate Pact Ambassador will be to explain the science behind climate change in an accessible way to the student body, both in schools and at university, and to equip them with the tools to better grasp the complexity of current environmental challenges.

The main aim of the Institute of climate neutrality is to bring solutions, raise awareness, build capacities and networks and support the initiative campaigns to accelerate the transformation of society to become real climate-neutral (net-zero).

I'm planning to use my passion and knowledge of sustainability to engage and inspire others; to use my network to connect and empower others for sustainability and to use my position to drive cultural change and develop technical solutions.

In Liepāja city I have worked with environmental and climate issues already for years. Liepāja city has joined the Covenant of Mayors in 2012 and I am acting as the Committee of Regions' Covenant of Mayors Ambassador. The first thing we did to fight climate change was to improve the heat supply system. We are working for the residents to have convenient public transport and safe movement with bicycles. As the Ambassador I would like to reach out more to local inhabitants schools on the topics of environment.

In my pursuit to climb the highest summit of each of the 7 continents, I traveled to the most remote places on Earth & witnessed the degradation of our planet’s natural environment.

In 2019, I founded the organization “A Woman Can Be” focusing on women empowerment & collaboration for nature & environmental sustainability.

As Ambassador my contribution will be in the field of raising public awareness about the environmental changes that occur through the organization of events & inspiring projects.
