I work for the Finnish Red Cross HQ as an Advocacy and Communication Expert. For a number of years already I have actively given talks on issues related to climate change, having reached some thousands of listeners both face-to-face and on-line, in Finland mostly, but also abroad.
My motivation comes from having, during the past 15 years or so, studied the plethora of predictions for alternative futures, and realizing that unless things are urgently done, we may face the ugliest of these.

Being an ambassador is a great honor. I want to change the IT landscape to make a notable contribution to its sustainability goals and also employ the capabilities of the IT industry to facilitate change. I will use this role to:
* Inform people about the shortcomings but also opportunities of IT with regards sustainability
* Make people working in IT aware of their huge responsibility and influence on the distribution of information and use of resources, so they can make more fair and sustainable decisions
* Suggest (and where possible implement) practices to improve sustainability in IT (companies)
* Use the tools and resources available to me to support my community for conscious IT in their endeavour to make IT more sustainable and fair.
* Start projects that use IT skills to further sustainability goals by informing the public, making sustainable choices more accessible or replacing less sustainable processes

I believe that the top-down decisions of governments, international organisations and corporations need to be complemented and synchronised with bottom-up approach/community level initiatives. People need to take part in the fight against climate change and they need to be motivated or even incentivised to do so. We need to involve kids in this fight at an early age and we need to show people and businesses that this change can be profitable in many ways. It is an opportunity, not a sacrifice.

As an ambassador, my mission will be focused on promoting awareness of the ecological crisis within youth groups and focussing on the important role young people play in combating climate change and meeting SDGs.

I am an eighteen-year-old activist and storyteller born in southern Mexico. I have been involved in human rights, climate justice, and gender activism for several years. In my work, I focus on the importance of intersectionality in social movements. I am currently a member of the Youth Advisory Board for the UN Foundation's Girl Up initiative in Mexico and the Youth Advisory Council for World Ocean Day. For my work, I was named Young Leader 2023 by the WOW Foundation.
As an Ambassador, my main objective is to promote environmental awareness through educational resources that frame the current climate crisis as an issue of social and intersectional justice. In addition, I plan to create activities and projects that promote the leadership of the most vulnerable communities in the face of the climate crisis. In this term, I will focus on using writing and advocacy as key tools to motivate climate action among the new generation of leaders.

An activist for the protection of our planet since my adolescence, I try to raise awareness and gather people around the fight against global warming. I am convinced that it is together that we will make the difference. For that purpose, through associations that I coordinate, I carry out awareness projects in schools, advocate with our political representatives and create conferences on the subject. Thanks to a long trip outside Europe, I promised myself to make Europeans aware in one way or another that climate protection is everyone’s responsibility and that it goes beyond our continental borders. I will also support many campaigns especially for a more responsible agriculture and the one for the protection of our precious ocean.
As an ambassador, I would love to develop the projects I already undertake but above all I would love to be able to share, via social networks, new narratives as I endeavour to do on a daily basis. It is important to reconsider our relationship to nature.

My name is Sophie. I am from Germany and I truly believe in the power of people to create a sustainable and healthy planet for us all. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I primarily want to demonstrate that a sustainable life is fun! Being particularly passionate about road cycling and sustainable food, I aim to bring two projects to life next year:
1) In the summer of 2024, I am planning to cycle through 10 Eastern European NetZeroCities to raise awareness about sustainable cities in Europe. I will interview the cities’ mayors and people and share my journey on my social media channel (stay tuned!).
2) Meeting new people is fun and trying new vegan recipes is fun! So why not bring both together? I want to create a platform to organise vegan running dinners across Europe. People can sign up to find others in their city and share vegan recipes (stay tuned as well!).

I plan to connect my daily work with the Climate Pact of the EU. I will take a humanitarian scope and I will connect information on the impact of the climate crisis with future crisis perspectives, bringing in prevention and preparedness approaches. I will also bring the EU Climate Pact to civil society organisations, and to local agendas, especially schools and the education sector. Climate is a global issue, but giving visibility to local actions and giving voice to local actors will be my most immediate commitment. Finally, I will work with other Pact ambassadors, contributing to a collective positive impact for this common agenda.

With close to 20 years in finance, dealing mostly with long term relationships with HNW clients and provide them with investment and wealth management advice, I got the understanding of the fact that, on the long term (but not only!), economics and the environment are inextricably linked. Therefore, I decided to extend my knowhow in ESG factors analysis, valuation and investment decision-making.

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory's sustainability journey is motivated by the societal need to tackle climate change and driven by the enthusiasm of our staff. Life science research in Europe has a huge environmental impact, but it has been slow to respond the crisis. Using my experience as a sustainability professional and my organisations reputation and commitment to sustainability, I hope to drive other life science research organisations to start their own journey.

I am a data-driven sustainability advocate and the founder of a start-up that helps organisations to walk the talk when it comes to sustainability. I am passionate about using data and technology to solve big issues like climate change, and I am committed to raising awareness and educating others about the importance of sustainability and ESG.
As a Pact Ambassador, I plan to use my skills and experience to help the Pact achieve its goals of building a more sustainable world. I will do this by writing blog posts and articles about sustainability and ESG, giving talks and presentations to businesses, schools, and other organisations, collaborating with other Pact Ambassadors to develop and implement new initiatives, and helping the Pact to develop and implement its own sustainability and ESG strategy.
I am confident that I can make a significant contribution to the Climate Pact as an Ambassador, and I am excited to work with you to build a more sustainable future.
