Meet our Ambassadors

As mayor of Odobești, vice-president or first vice-president of AOR, for 16 years I campaigned for pollution reduction, for identifying solutions, establishing financing programs or adopting actions aimed at transforming cities into smart cities, development poles to create the necessary infrastructure to connect the surrounding communes to the public utility networks of the cities, thus serving a larger number of inhabitants.

I'm emotionally attached to the challenges posed by the climate crisis.

I live next to an important wetland in Larnaca, Cyprus which was recently devastated by a catastrophic fire.

I want to communicate to the people of my country, the importance of protecting such places and lift them off the couch so that they can fight with me to achieve a better green future for all.

I am not only a Climate Pact Ambassador, I am also a husband, a father and an engaged volunteer and concerned citizen of how we together can make our planet become a better place to live and coexist on.

Together with the Inner Development Goals (IDG) I am convinced that the work to reach the SDG will go faster. We have to go from knowing to doing! The shift from linear to circular economy and sustainable consumption must spread and become everyone's first choice.

Time is running out and our knowledge about how to make sustainable choices has to increase. I work in public health care using the standard of ISO 14001 to undertake audits of environment and risks that are connected with dangerous waste and chemicals. I coordinate a local IDG hub in Gothenburg and do volunteer work at a documentary film club.

Former lawyer and managing partner of a major Luxembourg  firm, I embarked on a spiritual path and became a vegetarian.
This was the starting point for a cascade of ecological awareness and radical changes including:
- a drastic reduction of family carbon emission
- sustainable finance
- action to protect the biodiversity
- creation of the Association Végétarienne in Luxembourg with the aim to “ reduce meat/fish consumption by 50% by 2040, by participating with local actors in the awakening of citizens to the ecological transition, through the promotion of local and regenerative vegetable products”
- lobbying

I am convinced that:
- Individual responsibility is key to challenging the political and industrial sectors
- You can change the world with the food on your plate!
- The global food system needs to evolve
- Change can be made through inspiration and not through fear and guilt
- The exponential curve of a virtuous circle is just as powerful than that of a vicious circle
- United we stand, divided we fall!

Drawing from my own experiences as a refugee from Kashmir, Pakistan, I am committed to ensuring meaningful participation in climate conversations. I am on a mission to link climate change and displacement, advocating for the inclusion of marginalised voices especially women, in global discussions. I actively promote the intersection of climate change, displacement, and international dialogues. My extensive experience as an advisor and consultant to institutions such as the UN, EU Commission, World Bank, WTO, GIZ, and more has provided valuable insights into the importance of women of color participating in projects focused on diversity and inclusion. I am dedicated to empowering women in displacement situations and advocating for feminist foreign policies. My mission is clear: to influence decision-making processes, bridge gaps in global discussions, and ensure that the most vulnerable to climate change are not left behind. 

As a student in Environmental Chemistry, I have a great passion for climate protection. My ambition is to engage with local communities and in particular with young people, in order to ensure that those who will live on this Earth for the years to come can now shape its future.

Mobility and sustainable logistics is the most important pending issue for European decarbonisation. Not only is it already the number one carbon emitter, contributing to about 30% of GHG gases, but its share continues to grow. Without compliance with the community objectives of the union, it will not be possible to fulfill the European commitment to being the first carbon-free continent. As an ambassador for sustainable mobility, my goals are to raise awareness around this situation and speed up the transition process.

Dr. Ciarán O’Carroll is a prominent figure in the realm of sustainability and business. As a Sustainability Consultant at Change by Degrees and a lecturer in Sustainability Leadership at Technological University Dublin, he is also actively involved with The Bohemian Football Club, pioneering community-driven wealth through climate initiatives.

He is a fervent advocate for human rights and climate justice. Through his engagement with organisations such as Amnesty International, ActionAid, Extinction Rebellion, and Greenpeace, he amplifies his commitment.

He will be launching a social media series called "Climate Chronicles" to make climate topics relatable to everyone. I'm also planning local articles and community talks to discuss the direct impact of climate change in our area. Additionally, I'll create a 'Climate Action Toolkit' for local communities, especially in less-informed areas, to educate and engage people.

As an ambassador I aim to focus on supporting individuals and communities engage with and understand their role in tackling climate change.

This will focus on sustainable energy choices in the home, considering new forms of heat which can reduce carbon emissions and increase the uptake of renewable energy options.

I will support responsible energy consumption by supporting a focus on reducing energy usage, increasing energy efficiency, whilst supporting efforts to tackle fuel poverty.

I am the Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium and Exarch of the Netherlands and Luxemburg. My role is to stand by my flock in all difficult times. Today, living through  climate change and an extreme decrease in biodiversity that approaches mass extinction, my responsibility is even greater. My goal is to raise awareness and activate our church, with all means that are available to me. My goal is to help limit this sad development that changes to a great extent our planet and our lives. I commit to doing this, always along the lines of our Green Patriarch, His All-Holiness Bartholomew I, from my position as the responsible representative of the Orthodox Church to the EU.

The future is renewable and electric. Zero emission mobility and transport is not a vision any more, it is a reality. Let us start into a green, renewable and zero emission future, starting today.

As the Director of the Institute for Sustainable Development and Environment at Łazarski University, Warsaw, and the Director of the MBA ESG program at the same institution, my primary goal is to disseminate knowledge about environmental impacts. In this role, I am deeply committed to fostering an educational environment where sustainable development and environmental stewardship are paramount.

My responsibilities include guiding the academic direction of programs that focus on sustainability, environmental law, and climate-related business strategies.

As a public speaker, I frequently participate in national and international conferences, sharing insights and engaging in dialogues about environmental challenges and solutions. These platforms allow me to reach a wider audience, ranging from industry professionals to policymakers, and advocate for sustainable practices and policies. Additionally, as an author, I contribute articles and reports that analyze the business impact on climate change. These publications are aimed at raising awareness, influencing business leaders, and guiding policy discussions.

I am also actively involved in working groups that focus on implementing circular economy principles. These groups are collaborative efforts involving various stakeholders, including government bodies, businesses, and other academic institutions.

As a teacher, I believe that education should contribute to the discussion on ecologically, socially and economically important topics. International projects implemented by means of the eTwinning or Erasmus+ platform promote not only reliable scientific knowledge, but also pro-environmental attitudes which serve to maintain biological balance, transnational cooperation and also climate protection.

Let us get local communities on board, so act locally, think globally. Let's do it!

I am an artist living 0n a farm. I am surrounded by pure and beautiful Estonian nature. Wetlands, forest, lakes and rivers are under constant pressure from industrial groups. To save these resources. all communities needs somebody who reads documentation and is willing to communicate at different levels. As time goes by the challenges are changing. I wish to find and present new business ideas to local communities. Ideas that are far from greenwashing and spring from ideas of the Blue Economy. It must result in a complete circle of production and consumption without ANY pressure on the enviroment. 

Content-writer and middle-distance runner with a taste for sustainability, currently working as a communication officer at the European Commission and strongly motivated to share knowledge on how sports provide a great platform for environmental awareness and impact.

Having been a teacher and lecturer for over 20 years, as well as headmaster of a Secondary School in Valencia, I am currently  an Inspector of Education at the Regional Government of Valencia. I am commited to the supervision, evaluation and quality assurance at all stages of the education system, as well as to contributing to policymaking and innovation. I am deeply concerned with climate action and sustainability, and during my years as teacher and headmaster I have implemented different actions and activities to involve my students and raise their awareness. At the moment, my position allows me to influence teacher training and organise exchanges of good practices, as well as to contribute to educational policies in my region. It is absolutely urgent that we all take action against climate change and that involves all actors and stakeholders in education.

Elected council member of Global Ecovillage Network Europe and Operations Manager of ECOLISE, I aim to support and steer the network in its mission to connect the ecovillage movement, encourage ecovillage development, educate for sustainability and ultimately create a world where empowered local communities are at the forefront of creating a fairer society that regenerates the earth, and ourselves.

I am the founder of Octop'us, Strasbourg's first ocean protection association! Operating at both local and European level, Octop'us raises public awareness of low-tech solutions for protecting the oceans, in a fun and guilt-free way. As a lecturer, author and trainer, I pass on the lessons I have learned in the field to encourage people to take action, and to inspire young and grownups alike that the sea begins where you are. Committing to climate and social justice is not about giving up, it is about choosing a better balance!
