Meet our Ambassadors

As a Climate Ambassador, I will promote the European Green Deal goals locally, regionally and internationally working together with national, EU and global governments and facilitate networks’ exchanges of best practices and successes. My aim is to increase awareness on climate related issues together with disaster resilience, to help governments take the lead of relevant change process, and improve the engagement of stakeholders and social groups in decision-makings regarding disaster and climate-proof policies and actions. I am committed of sharing the relevant results and experience gained in more than 20 years of work in the field so to contribute to matching the European goals.

I am a nature lover and a passionate climate advocate. An environmental engineer by training, I currently work as a climate policy consultant. In my free time, I am a  climate and youth advocate. I have represented youth voices for climate internationally and nationally in various summits and meetings, being Youth4Climate delegate in NY, head of the Italian delegation at the 2022 G7 youth summit, and observer at the climate negotiations since COP26. I have co-led the "Youth4SDGs" initiative with the Italian Climate Network NGO. Over the last year, I have trained 200+ youth on climate and energy, recently also as IRENA-Italy IACT peer-educator. I am from Italy, but I have lived also in Sweden, Belgium and the USA.

My personal favourite quote is " Let's make sure we all play a role in drafting our future".

I am a science teacher that tries to live more sustainably - I try my best to reduce waste, to reduce carbon emissions in transportation, promote sustainable food production and raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity.

I focus on green transportation - I sold my car and do all my daily business on my bike (and occasionally public transportation).

I am also a scout and I will prepare my next challenge with my scout unit - "the library of things".

As an Ambassador, I will continue to make my contribution in the areas in which I work as a freelance researcher, organizer and co-author of advertising, to raise awareness among public and private operators, public opinion and individual citizens on the effects of climate change. I am particularly paying attention to the current trends and those expected for the future on the development of synergies for the sustainability of the WEF nexus (Water, Energy, Food).

As an EU Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to create awareness on Sustainability by providing and sharing information and practices. Sustainability has always been my passion and lifestyle, I'm solution-driven, and I would like to use my overall expertise to make a better world.

As an Ambassador, I plan to educate, communicate, raise awareness through client engagement, on and offline events and thematic discussions, research, online campaigns, data, expertise and publications related to climate change.  Matching and twinning European schools, industry and civil society with African institutions to create resources that educate us on our interconnected world where our actions have implications locally, nationally and internationally. 

My name is Meda and I will be organising monthly Climate Cafe events in Kaunas. My aim is to establish a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can convene, engage in discourse about climate-related concerns, exchange innovative ideas, and acquire comprehensive insights into the Climate Pact and what it aims to achieve.

My activities focus on supporting local governments and non-governmental organizations through substantive training and workshops, environmental education, and financing activities aimed at preventing climate change and minimizing its negative effects. I plan to advocate against climate change at a local level, I will encourage Local Municipalities to participate ate in the 'Green Cities' program. At International level, I will organize plantation drives at the Institutional level.

I am a climate pact ambassador who is passionate about taking action for the climate and the environment. I plan to engage and educate the public through various activities, such as:
- Developing a videonewsletter series about SDG13 and sharing the latest climate research with the public 
- Highlighting online courses on Climate Action that can provide people with the knowledge and skills they need to take action
- Organising webinars with various stakeholders to foster dialogue and collaboration on how to achieve the goals of the Climate Pact
- Making use of my LinkedIn network to spread the word about the climate pact and its objectives and encourage people to join the community
- Designing animation video that explains the climate pact goals in a simple and inspiring way
- Collaborating with my fellow Climate Pact feambassadors to design collective actions that can create a bigger impact in their communities.

As a Pact Ambassador, I am dedicated to advancing climate action with a strong emphasis on education and inclusivity. With a background in sustainability and agriculture, I am focusing on my mission to raise awareness and cultivate a collective commitment to climate action among diverse audiences, particularly in educational institutions. My initiatives encompass developing educational resources, delivering impactful presentations, and organising empowering workshops, with a specific focus on inspiring youth, empowering girls, and engaging citizens in countering climate misinformation, ultimately encouraging climate-neutral practices. I am enthusiastic about leveraging my roles as a sustainability researcher and citizen scientist, utilising social media and conference platforms to drive practical solutions for a sustainable future. Together, our collective efforts can truly make a significant impact in the battle against climate change.

My motivation is the planet. We have to save it, and younger generations are very important in order to reach that goal. I will contact schools, mayors and important people that can help us. My most important job is to raise awareness, and I will give 100% of my dedication by organising climate days at schools, creating days for making my hometown greener and much more!

As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I will raise awareness on the impacts of climate change and how to stop the perpetuattion of structural inequalities, such as those between women and men. I will promote the involvement of women in decision-making, so we can help drive the adoption of climate change policies and strengthen the efforts by ensuring they benefit the needs of women and the communities that they are members of. I will actively build networks of experts, public stake holders and civil society representatives, so that the gender gaps can be reduced and the access to resources, education and information can be assured for women working in rural areas across Romania and Europe. 

From medical doctor to social media intern to Media Director to health/queer activist and aspiring author, my journey has been far from a traditional one, but I have certainly kept myself busy over the past 30 years. I am passionate about plant based eating, environmental conservation, unpacking Malta's history through a decolonising lens, queer activism and youth work, and writing.

Through my work as Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to make climate action understandable, accessible and attainable, regardless of resource availability, knowledge or community space. Starting local and expanding beyond the borders of my tiny homeland of Malta, I hope to use my voice and actions to inspire others to do the same. From social media efforts, to panel discussions, to collaborative pieces, art spaces, community events, and discussions with local governance, I want to show that anyone can take the first step towards embracing the power of environmental and climate action. 

I want to dialogue with local authorities about issues involving viability and air pollution. I want to promote more green areas, bike lanes, car free streets, smart working, public transport implementation.

I want to to dialogue with locals to spread awareness on the importance of healthier life thanks to bike use, walking and clean air. I would do so by using social network and by organizing social events involving local associations and commercial activities already committed in this fight.

I am a biologist, epidemiologist, and climate activist. I identify as an eco-feminist and as a member of the board of the Union of Women Alternative and Response, I actively contribute to raising awareness of the challenges that climate change poses to gender equality and women’s rights. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to develop a program in the northern region of Portugal, aimed at promoting climate literacy, particularly focused on rural women in the interior of Portugal. Through conferences, workshops, debates, film screenings, and hands-on activities centered around climate action, good practices for a more sustainable way of life and the protection of local biodiversity, I intend to bridge the knowledge gap on climate change, especially for those living outside major urban centers who have limited access to such training, in particular, rural women. I am committed to making a meaningful and lasting impact on the climate initiatives in our local communities.

As an Ambassador of the Climate Pact, I will make it my mission to spread a systemic thinking approach aiming at involving the entire community in positive and sustainable behavior change processes based on each different territory needs detected and possibilities.

Operationally, I will promote awareness raising, collaborate with the already existent climate networks at a local, regional, national and international level aiming at having a continous dialogue pertaining to best practices.
