We receive a lot of information about climate change, and what stops people is that they don't know what to do with all this information. From where to start. My main motivation is to promote actions and initiatives to inspire ideas of action from other people. By bringing ideas and actions together and by helping to make them possible we can be an important part of the change, leading by example.

Communication is key if we want to make the message of sustainability attractive and accessible.

I have an online platform (prettygreenlily.com) where I raise awareness about sustainable fashion and sustainable lifestyle alternatives and talk about the science and facts behind sustainability in fashion.

I believe that there is strength in numbers and that simple changes in our individual lifestyles can build up to meaningful systemic change – a change that starts with knowledge and awareness.

Beside my PhD in Environmental and Energy Engineering and my role in the city Council, I commit on a daily basis to making lower impact choices. But I am not convinced that we will be able to fight the climate crisis if we leave the responsibility to the goodwill of virtuous citizens. Only by turning the crisis into an opportunity to improve the quality of life of people, can we hope to suceed. I believe we need to be ambitious, practical, concrete, coherent, and to use a science based approach.

I am an environmental engineer with PhD in sustainable development. I work as a director of the Croatian Business Council for Sustainable Development and I will spend my mandate as a Pact Ambassador putting even more efforts in promoting implementation of corporate sustainability management systems in as many companies as possible. This will include Net Zero Strategies along with other environmental commitments. I will continue organising events, writing articles, teaching courses at University, alway stressing importance of the climate crisis and introducing tools on how to manage the negative impacts we have on climate, as persons and as business decision makers. I will actively advocate climate positive legislation at the national level, working with Government officials to better understand and support business on their Net Zero pathway. And I will continue to ride my bike, save energy, follow circular economy model and spend responsibly so as to lead by example.

In talks/sessions I (M.Sc ITPD and Lektor) speak passionately and with humor about our modern lifestyle (without being condemnatory or missionary). After a session participants talk about an "Aha-experience" - which provides participants with "self-insight" that changes their structured/conventional thinking. I arrange climate-workshop settings (typical 20-40 persons in a climate-game session) where the audiences are divided into six different groups/personifications of climate profiles.

As a scientist in environmental chemicals and medical doctor, my activities coalesce around the impact of chemical pollution on our health. Everyday chemicals in personal care products, food and food contact materials, and in fabric and household items, microplastics and plastic additives, all take a toll on our health and the living environment while translating into climate change, and deteriorated sustainability and degraded biodiversity. I am committed to connecting environmental pollution and human health for medical professionals and beyond.

I  also support and participate in the reforestation projects.

I will help spread awareness about climate change. As a privileged person, because of where I was born, I want not only me but also my children to step on green grass with their bare feet one day in the season when grass is supposed to grow. I want as many people as possible to understand the seriousness of the situation and understand why it is so important. Without increased awareness, nothing will change.

As Executive Director of the leading European railway association in Brussels, I will advocate rail as the backbone of zero-carbon mobility in Europe. In order to achieve an absolute greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 30% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and at the same time realise expected modal shift to rail, we will contribute to a wider debate on climate action. Railways took the opportunity provided by the European Year of Rail in 2021 to act as a Clean Mobility Ambassador.

My commitment to the environment and sustainable development is preceded by my 20 years of public service. Climate change is a challenge that requires a global response acting from the local level under the principle of sub-division of the EU. Being an ambassador is an honor that allows us to create networks of committed people and create synergies in which we address different actions in favor of the environment and the climate.

Mi compromiso con el medio ambiente y el desarrollo sostenible viene precedido de mis 20 años de servicio público.

The Free State of Saxony has a long tradition as an energy region with two lignite mining regions, the Lausitz region and the Central German region. By discontinuing lignite power generation by the end of 2038 at the latest, the region is making a major contribution to European climate targets. At the same time, there are energy-related and socio-economic challenges that are faced with great innovation and development potential. I would like to talk about this as an ambassador.
