[Former President of the ass. Libero Gruppo di Ricerca Sostenibile of Taranto (Free Sustainable Research Group of Taranto) , currently Primary School Teacher, she activates workshops to promote non-violent communication and ecology of communication, promotion of students' talents in Architecture workshops for children.]

My activities will focus on supporting and engaging individuals and institutions for transformative action.

As a coach under Climate KIC and national coordinator for Climate education, I will mobilize local engagement, emphasizing the importance of climate education. Through my activities in national and supranational policy and NGO networks, I will advocate for the transition to climate neutrality, biodiversity actions, and urban greening. I will actively contribute to expanding future climate initiatives, focusing also on climate adaptation and promoting diversified (agri) cultural landscapes.

El cambio climatico es un problema que nos afecta a todos y a todos los niveles, es por ello que debemos actuar rapidamente.

Un sector de vital importancia es el sector agricola, donde los efectos repercuten directamente por cambios en la fenologia de cultivos y en el bienestar animal. 

A su vez participan en el problema y como posible solución al actuar como sumideros de CO2, uno de los principales gases de efecto invernadero.

Es por todo ello que es necesario la concienciacion en este sector.

Translation:
Climate change is a problem that affects us all at all levels, which is why we must act quickly.

One sector of vital importance is the agricultural sector, where the effects have a direct impact on crop phenology and animal welfare.

At the same time, they participate in the problem and as possible solution by acting as CO2 sinks, one of the main greenhouse gases.

It is for all these reasons that awareness in this sector is necessary.

I am a landscape architect and an academic from Bucharest interested in green infrastructure strategies and bioclimatic planning and design. As a Climate Pact Ambassador I would like to share and exchange knowledge concerning the role of green areas and urban biodiversity in climate change mitigation and adaptation in order to persuade public authorities, organizations and businesses to initiate climate action and pledges.

For all lives on our planet it is imperative that humans put an end to global warming. No single person will make this happen, so we should all become a climate ambassador to some extent. Thus as a Dutch life sciences student with passion for politics, I didn't hesitate joining the Climate pact as soon as friends advised me to do so. I'm eager to help by advocating for more nuclear energy, an efficient EU train network and the reduction of meat production. Now as a student, one day as politician.

I am a materials scientist working for a green future. As a passionate climber and bikepacker, I spend a lot of time in nature. This has made me realise how fragile our ecosystem is and that everyone has a duty to do their part to protect our planet. I try to do my part by researching sustainable energy storage technologies and promoting the importance of science and technology, especially in the energy sector. Not only among decision-makers, but also among the youth.

In my role as a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to empower and educate young people by equipping them with the skills they need to understand and address key issues related to climate change, energy and development.

As Climate Pact Ambassador my ambition is to foster the decarbonisation of supply chains and to work collaboratively on dedicated solutions for the transport industry.

I am the co-founder of Appanion Labs, a company that provides data-driven solutions to improve environmental and quality management in freight transportation.

My contribution to the Climate Pact is to advocate for fast and decisive action for green transport chains. We need to act now and we need to do it together.

Carlos is a sustainability enthusiast and a climate change advocate. He strives to contribute to climate dialogues and negotiations to implement highly ambitious goals. He was shocked when he first read an IPCC report and felt responsible to make a change.

Making use of several roles in these fields, Carlos wants to connect and empower people, focusing on those communities where he lives, the United Kingdom and Spain, to not only share ideas but to bring them to reality.

During my mission, I would like to draw attention to the vulnerability of Lake Balaton and other large lakes and their functional areas in Europe. As the Mayor of Balatonfüred and Chairman of the Lake Balaton Development Council, I am committed to improve climate awareness. By taking sustainability aspects into account, we can all do so much to protect our environment. The implementation of measures often does not require significant financial resources, just a different way of thinking is needed.

I became aware of the Climate Crisis in 2009. Since then I have gained deep domain knowledge and formulated and built an IT framework to accelerate and incentivise emission reductions in the Non-ETS sectors.

Ostara enables carbon mitigation through knowledge transfer and implementation of a bottom up Climate Action Domestic GHG Reduction Programme. Ostara automates consumer participation through clever integration with Fin-tech capabilities. Ostara prices Carbon at €110/tonne.

In 2019 I began my journey into the world of sustainability and youth participation. In 2020 I became Co-founder & President of Change For Planet, an association of young people for the environment which aims to carry out projects and raise awareness among young people in the fight against climate change. Since 2021 I have been participating as a delegate and observer in the United Nations Climate Conference. In recent years I have participated in events and conferences as a speaker (Tedx, Milan Digital Week, Salone CSR and many others) and I have organised events and festivals on environmental and social issues aimed at people under 35. I also work as a freelancer in the field of training, planning for sustainability and strategic consultancy for businesses. I am driven by the constant desire to generate a positive impact and to be a spokesperson for a change that comes from young people towards other generations and towards our society.

I use my knowledge and outreach to fight climate change, to create better prospects for the people and for the planet and to help Europe maintain a leading role in climate action. I am part of several international and volunteering organizations and my activity as ambassador consists in sharing information about the EU Climate Pact while advocating for climate neutrality. In order to transform our goals into reality we need to maximize our impact. My motto is: interact, immerse, involve, evolve!

I'm Rada Boneva, also known as Thrift Sheep. I've created my blog thriftsheep.com back in 2017 as a mission to promote secondhand shopping and vintage treasure hunting, but a few months later I decided to take the path of the zerowaste journey. Since then, I have been sharing my experience and knowledge on environmentalism, climate issues, biodevisity and eco mindfullness for individuals. In 2019 was born ThrftSheep Podcast - a stricly thematic podcast in Bulgarian language with wide range of experts.

As president of Harghita County Council, Romania, I represent a region in which environmental and agricultural subjects are always present in our public dialogue. Being a mountainous and rural area, the economy, tourism, nature protection, biocultural diversity all depend on the climate changes. As member of the ENVE Commission of the CoR, and CoR Ambassador of Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy I will assume the steps needed to be in the benefit of our local and regional communities.

Ethereal Earth-pop duo Berne poetically use music to talk about issues they care deeply about: the climate emergency and social justice, while instilling hope for the future. Berne's activism doesn't just stop at music. That's why they created a low impact, eco-friendly website. To raise further awareness they built an interactive music map that highlights environmental initiatives around the world. Supported by the likes of EU DG Climate Action, #TheWRD from The Ivors Academy, BBC Introducing, EARMILK, Headliner Magazine, and Sound City, Berne continue in their mission to inspire and urge people to bring about change in the world, to highlight that we are in charge of the future and that together we can make a real difference.

I am a young European woman with a firm belief in the values of democracy, equality, and dialogue. I'm inspired by action and I act to inspire!

In my fight against the most urgent challenge, the climate crisis, I try to put the people and their needs first. As an EU Climate Pact Ambassador I wish to focus on just transition, climate education, awareness raising, and public participation.

If we want to save our Planet Earth, we need to join all forces. So will YOU join me?

I am an environmentalist made in Sardinia, born at 350 ppm and when the Montreal Protocol came into force.

I am passionate about human dynamics and how we can lead people to implement sustainable action by inspiring them through storytelling. My objective as an ambassador is to inspire sustainable behavior change by implementing good climate communication. A communication that is both about accountability and inspiration, that talks about vision and solutions starting from scientific data.

Vice-President for Europe and International of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, President of COTER at the European Committee of the Regions, I want to get involved in sustainable development and in the fight against climate change. Through its Neo Terra roadmap, my Region shares the same ambitions as the European Green Pact and wants to become an exemplary territory. Néo Terra, eleven commitments in many sectors (companies, transport, agroecology, biodiversity, energy ...).

Being enthusiastic & determined is fundamental to keep going on, to believe in our ability to improve our world. I wish to put those qualities at the service of this CP.

As an ambassador, I will strive for reaching out people and organization, lead them to fight against global warming, by spreading knowledge and awareness campaign regarding causes and consequences of climate change.

I also seek to fulfill my mission by linking organizations and my network all together, to help bring solutions.
