Enabling the implementation of Children’s Rights in policy and business for the sake of all current and future European citizens.

We're only here for a while, we've only borrowed our planet from our children and grandchildren. Therefore, it is our duty to leave it in such a state that life on Earth is not only possible but also not burdensome. As an ambassador of the Climate Pact, I want to convince representatives of local authorities, business and all residents that reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, saving water or circular economy is a necessity today, not a temporary trend.

I am honored to be a European Climate Pact Ambassador. Climate action needs to be undertaken by everybody and in all thinkable ways. The activities I will focus on - together with others - are primarily: i. Community awareness and capacity building - especially in the South West region of the Netherlands. This work strenghtens direct citizen involvement for local resilience and sustainability. ii. Convening workshops that allow people to share thoughts and feelings, in support of wellbeing and health. Through this work climate emotions can be expressed and people can (start) to engage with (local) initiatives. iii. Supporting cooperatives (energy transition, greening living spaces) finding new members, building relations with (local) governments. iv. Communication, speaking and use of (local) media. v. Supporting the European Pact ambassadors, also seeking learning across geographies and helping the dissemination of experiences where it is helpful and asked for.       

Urša Zgojznik is the president of Ecologists Without Borders Association, a non-profit association dedicated to improving the environmental situation, focusing on waste management. They organised the largest environmental campaign in the history of Slovenia, Let's Clean Up Slovenia, which activated 14% of the population of Slovenia, they are national coordinator for Slovenia in Zero Waste Europe network. She works mostly on projects for reducing and reusing waste, Zero Waste and circular economy.

I am trained as Carbon Conversation Groups Facilitator and I am happy to be part of the projects providing opportunities to community to be more aware, educated and more active regarding their greener and better future.

Our organisation already implemented such Erasmus+ projects in the field of environmental issues:

• Augmented Reality for Environmental Education;
• Helping Global Development;
• Technology for Ecology;
• Green Energy;
• Planet 1st.

We are open for new opportunities!

I am the founder of the Zenaga Foundation gGmbH and a passionate climate and environmentalist. Through my membership in various organizations I have a wealth of experience. By operating several PV systems, my energy surplus house and other measures, I am completely carbon neutral with my family since 2016. Sustainability is for my private and business the basis of my actions. In my lectures, workshops, CSR Coaching, Actions and Projects, I tackle climate protection.

I am an artist, scholar, and activist who uses art as a powerful tool to drive change and spark dialogue on complex human experiences. My journey into activism began as a result of my own experience with chronic illness, particularly an eating disorder that lasted for over a decade, making me deeply aware of the pharmaceutical industry's impact on health and the environment. This realisation led me to create art and lead public art-activism campaigns, aiming to address the environmental impact of the pharmaceutical industry. I have had the privilege of engaging in dialogues with major pharmaceutical companies worldwide, sharing my art, voice, and lived experiences to advocate for sustainable solutions. This experience ignited my passion for climate activism, and I have since championed both ecology and human health through art activism. My recent work, 'Voices Above Water,' consists of art reflection cards designed to support mental well-being in the face of climate anxiety. 

I am a naturalist by choice and hobby. I believe we are all naturalists at core and that working close to nature is the way we will cultivate the motivation to make bigger changes, very much needed to tackle the climate crisis. I spend as much time as I can just observing how life around us unfolds. Plants growing in unexpected places, spiders losing camouflage, trees standing in front of any adversity. This type of observation brought me into gardening and permaculture. This is how I grow food for myself and family, clean, slow, a garden that is home for every living creature, that is self sustainable and can produce a harvest even in the worst years.

As a Pact Ambassador I hope to bring these ideas closer to people. I aim to instruct and inform, offer people practical knowledge about growing their own food or selecting better food. 

Taking care of trees, planting of new trees, protection and preservation of birds and wildlife.

I am a PhD student focusing on forest carbon potential, especially in old-growth forests. I have been working for international climate-forestry projects since 2008. I have experience in land sector climate policy, LULUCF sector.

I believe in science-based solutions. My motivation is to enhance the sustainable use of forests by using climate-smart forest management in a context of growing bioeconomy. Awareness and understanding of climate reality make a difference, therefore I enjoy connecting stakeholders.
