Conozca a nuestros embajadores

My mission is to share a message of hope, action and equality.

Through producing and creating inspiring social good events, content and encounters, as an Ambassador i want to be the spark that lights up the will of change makers to believe in science and in the power of collective action to great goals.

My main motivation is my believe in true compassion, my dream is to see people and communities in a road of evolution and respect with our beautiful balance with nature.

I see myself as an imperfect climate activist, because I understand that in the current social paradigm the only way to be perfect as a climate activist is to cease to exist. As I do not want to cease to exist, and neither do you - I believe that is also a reason that brought you here -, my work here will be focused on creating an active hope for our communities by developing a macro line of thought and reflection that will help us tackle social, and class struggles, that are the real promotors of this world catastrophe. My objective is to provoke my readers and ignite change through a world questioning.

I am a friend of the climate.

As director of the 'Centro do Clima da Póvoa de Varzim' (a local climate action centre) and climate activist and researcher, I will connect our work with the European Climate Pact, engaging the municipality, the university, media, farmers, youth, business and all other partners is creating an effective transformative hub in our community.

I'm a PhD candidate in Environment and Sustainability at NOVA University Lisbon, focused on just energy transitions, who is also engaged in citizen-led renewable energy communities projects and in national-scale environmental NGOs. As an Ambassador, I will draw on these three roles and seek to raise awareness, transfer knowledge and implement concrete actions, mainly in thematic areas of energy and green buildings, that can contribute to mitigate climate change and to a more fair, resilient and sustainable society.

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I am deeply committed to driving positive change in the realm of climate action. With a background in organising workshops and lectures on climate change awareness, I am eager to expand my reach and impact as an Ambassador. My goal is to inspire and equip individuals and communities with practical tools to reduce their carbon footprint and embrace a zero-waste lifestyle. Additionally, I will continue my collaborations with environmental non-profit organisations, further amplifying our collective efforts in climate action and conservation. Through my website and social media platforms, I aim to disseminate informative content on sustainable practices, empowering a wider audience to join the movement. Moreover, I am dedicated to advocating for conscious travel, striving to leave a positive impact on the places I visit. And next year between January and February I will undertake a big trip all focused on sustainability.

Over the last few years I grew aware of the urgency of the situation we are in and Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech has served as a guide during both my academic and personal pathways.

Climate Change in the Anthropocene is bad and unpropitious, not because it is somehow against Nature, but because it could potentially cause immense harm and suffering to humans.

Humankind will never change until we start planting trees, not with the intention of cutting them, but so that shadow can be provided to our future generations.

The European Green Deal made me realise the role that the European Union can and should play in this journey. And, as a lifelong passionate about this imaginary community of ours, I intend to work so that I may be an integral part of Schuman´s dream for the future.

Climate Action truly is, above all, a moral question. Now more than ever, action requires thoughtfulness, insight and political courage. And the European Union should be very clear about what it expects from other regions of the world. Cooperate whenever possible, compete when necessary and confront when needed.

As a young activist and freelance journalist, I am focused on reaching young people and small communities in Portugal. I am an advocate for climate and human rights defender. Above all, I am a storyteller. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to raise awareness and knowledge among people about the climate crisis. We have never experienced such an urgent need for climate action as we do today. My goal is to engage more people in the fight for climate justice, through content creation, journalism and published articles, workshops and talks. I believe we all can act on our local community and create a big impact. 

Our future is intrinsically, undeniably linked to climate action. Ignoring the emergency of climate change is an act of conscious decision-making against our best long-term interests. I believe education and communication are key values to turn this around. And us, youth, are not settling for less.

Apart from individual action, I am involved with project REBOOT, a portuguese-based NGO for communication and raising awareness on climate change. Find us at https://project-reboot.pt/. We are a team of volunteers, passionate about ending the inertia that we witness in every corner of the fight against climate change. Let's get the wheels of this bus-on-fire moving.

I am 28 years-old and from Porto, Portugal. I am a bioinformatician, currently doing a PhD in Integrative Biology and Biomedicine. I am a Candidate for the primaries for the next european elections and I will push for the climate agenda in the portuguese politics landscape.

I am a researcher on environmental policy, host of the Mission Regeneration podcast and member of the Governmental taskforce for the creation of a national green investment plan for Portugal.

My commitment as European Climate Pact Ambassador is to inform and raise awareness about the impact of regenerative development initiatives within the EU space, as an empowerment tool to increase the engagement of more cities, corporations and citizens in restoring and healing the environment, our home.

I commit to develop:
-Podcast season with interviews with inspiring EU Regeneration initiatives
-12 EU Green Deal national implementation workshops in Portugal
-Premiere the documentary "Regenerative cities of the future"

As an ambassador, my mission will focus on fostering environmental awareness, promoting the dissemination and democratization of knowledge about the ecological crisis, and highlighting the crucial role that young people play in the fight against climate change and in the pursuit of climate justice.

I will leverage my platforms of action to contribute to the development of the European Climate Pact and disseminate the essential knowledge required to establish an environmental culture that adequately addresses the ecological and climate challenges we face.

As a designer, sculpture & crafter, I am dedicated to teaching and design, developing new solutions and skills in Eco Design, Sustainable Fashion and Craft Design. As President of Between Parallels – Ass. for Design & Sustainable Development, I am focused on reaching out to my peers, people and organisations in interviews, seminars, workshops, sharing professional knowledge; interconnecting eco design practices with traditional industry, developing projects with local crafters and their knowledge.

Eu sou um entusiasta da formação continuada, nomeadamente, sobre mudanças climáticas. Minhas atividades são centradas nas conferências itinerantes em diferentes e afastadas zonas portuguesas.
