Responsibilities

As a devoted climate ambassador, I am committed to translating climate ambitions into action and policy by engaging in conversations with and giving keynotes to government agencies, politicians, major corporations, and citizens. I strive to inspire them to embrace sustainability, providing fresh insights and concrete actionable steps. Additionally, I represent the voices of young people and unite them across Europe. In my role as the head of advocacy for the Dutch Youth Climate Coalition, I established a European branch, representing Dutch youth at the European Commission and Parliament. Recognizing the need for collective action, I founded the European Youth Climate Coalition, fostering collaboration and joint advocacy at the European level. As the director at YoungRegional, I ensure that young people actively participate in shaping climate policy at both the local and regional levels. Simultaneously as a Climate Mayor, I connect local government, businesses, and residents, championing a community-driven approach to sustainability.
