Ontmoet onze ambassadeurs

I am Physicist and Master in Meteorology specialised in climate change communication. Since 2016 I work in mass and social media, I give conferences about climate change in companies, events, courses and schools, among others, and I have published a book about the basis of climate change ("Cambio Climático para Principiantes" [Climate Change for Beginners]).

We still have time to avoid the worst climate scenarios and some of the better ones are still achievable, but we need climate action from the entire society. As a Climate Ambassador, I will continue to create content and communicate about climate change to raise awareness about this crisis from children to CEOs. 

My main motivation is to create a more sustainable model with the planet and people by using renewable energy, develop cooperation and environmental technologies such recycling as key points to success in this objective. Bringing this objetive to the practise, I will fulfill this objective as ambrassador by orgasing Climathon in Seville, making a social sustainable network in Seville (business, authorities, associations and people) that join efforts to create solutions against climate.

I am deeply passionate about the intersection of health, climate, and sustainability. As an Ambassador for the Pact, I am committed to driving positive change by leveraging my background in pharmacy and my experience in promoting environmental awareness and ecological transition. My activities will revolve around educating the public on the health implications of climate change, advocating for a global low carbon transition, and collaborating with individuals and organizations to amplify our impact. Together, we can work towards a healthier planet and healthier communities.

I am committed to serving as a Pact Ambassador by leveraging my passion for cycling to inspire and educate others on the critical role of sustainable transportation in combating climate change. My planned activities include organizing community cycling events, producing informative social media content, advocating for improved cycling infrastructure, and collaborating with local schools to promote cycling as a green alternative for daily commuting. Through these efforts, I aim to foster a culture of eco-friendly mobility and encourage individuals to reduce carbon emissions by embracing cycling as a sustainable lifestyle choice.

Juan Luis Muñoz Arbona is a VET and English teacher, a National Geographic Certified Educator and a Teach SDGs Teacher ambassador.

He is also a lawyer and an active civil society member, belonging to Anna Lindh Foundation Spanish Network as a member and former Executive Committee member.

He also has some expertise gained through his work as an EU policy adviser within the European Institutions (2002-2009).

My new challenge is to promote green skills and lifelong learning for my students.

As an ambassador, I will take advantage of my extensive professional and academic experience in the field of climate policy and international relations to promote networks, partnerships, events, campaigns, and multi-actor platforms that promote an ambitious approach to climate action at all levels.

Passionate about people and their patterns, Omhani Ambre Naija is the founder and CEO of the Sparklink Agency, a multi award-winning strategic intelligence consultancy composed of international experts and creative communities. With a solid background in Human Sciences - Foreign languages, Project management, Anthropology, Political Science- Ambre has more than 15 years of international cross-sectoral experience: Marketing-Communication, Hospitality, Banking, Philanthropy and Social Impact.

Sustainability is not a trend. Let's meet our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to do so as well. It simply makes sense. I commit to raising awareness about the green transition and the sheer importance of it. People tend to neglect the fact that we actually need to transition into a more sustainable economy. As ambassador I will promote the positive outcomes of a resource-efficient and climate neutral EU. As a zero waste business owner I will further continue my efforts to promote sustainable living and practices to individuals and businesses as well.

We are in this together as Europeans and I like to think that with collective efforts we will leave a healthy planet for our future generations.

I am an environmentalist, circular systems engineer, sustainable fashion visionary and entrepreneur, passionate about changing our clothing consumption and production patterns while creating new opportunities for people and the planet. There is no doubt that in order for sustainability and social innovation to gain momentum, empowering public participation is crucial. Therefore, I am ready to actively pursue interactive educational and communication activities, bringing together consumers, the business community, industry representatives and other stakeholders to reduce the negative impact of fashion together. 

As Ambassador on the Climate Pact, I am working on creating a network of sustainable schools, eco-friendly schools. Local and European net of eco-friendly schools, schools which can share experiences, promote environmental actions and are decided to show the partner schools in order to join forces through European programmes such as Erasmus + or eTwinning.

My name is Jakub Nekvasil, and I am a 17-year-old student at a Prague high school. I founded an NGO Telperion (www.telperion.cz) to raise awareness around climate change and to inspire climate action, focusing mainly on young people. We organise programmes for schools, scouts, and the general public. With one of my projects “Klimatické dny” (Climate Days), I was among the last four candidates selected for the prestigious youth Czech climate award “Cena Josefa Vavrouška”, organised by the Czech Partnership Foundation. I became a local coordinator in the implementation of the Living Landscape project, focusing on water retention. Wherever I am, I try to influence people to assume responsibility for climate, to think about their everyday habits, and to take climate action. I try to show people around me that each small step counts, and that these small steps will eventually make a big difference.

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. 

As mayor of Odobești, vice-president or first vice-president of AOR, for 16 years I campaigned for pollution reduction, for identifying solutions, establishing financing programs or adopting actions aimed at transforming cities into smart cities, development poles to create the necessary infrastructure to connect the surrounding communes to the public utility networks of the cities, thus serving a larger number of inhabitants.

I'm emotionally attached to the challenges posed by the climate crisis.

I live next to an important wetland in Larnaca, Cyprus which was recently devastated by a catastrophic fire.

I want to communicate to the people of my country, the importance of protecting such places and lift them off the couch so that they can fight with me to achieve a better green future for all.

I am not only a Climate Pact Ambassador, I am also a husband, a father and an engaged volunteer and concerned citizen of how we together can make our planet become a better place to live and coexist on.

Together with the Inner Development Goals (IDG) I am convinced that the work to reach the SDG will go faster. We have to go from knowing to doing! The shift from linear to circular economy and sustainable consumption must spread and become everyone's first choice.

Time is running out and our knowledge about how to make sustainable choices has to increase. I work in public health care using the standard of ISO 14001 to undertake audits of environment and risks that are connected with dangerous waste and chemicals. I coordinate a local IDG hub in Gothenburg and do volunteer work at a documentary film club.

Former lawyer and managing partner of a major Luxembourg  firm, I embarked on a spiritual path and became a vegetarian.
This was the starting point for a cascade of ecological awareness and radical changes including:
- a drastic reduction of family carbon emission
- sustainable finance
- action to protect the biodiversity
- creation of the Association Végétarienne in Luxembourg with the aim to “ reduce meat/fish consumption by 50% by 2040, by participating with local actors in the awakening of citizens to the ecological transition, through the promotion of local and regenerative vegetable products”
- lobbying

I am convinced that:
- Individual responsibility is key to challenging the political and industrial sectors
- You can change the world with the food on your plate!
- The global food system needs to evolve
- Change can be made through inspiration and not through fear and guilt
- The exponential curve of a virtuous circle is just as powerful than that of a vicious circle
- United we stand, divided we fall!

Drawing from my own experiences as a refugee from Kashmir, Pakistan, I am committed to ensuring meaningful participation in climate conversations. I am on a mission to link climate change and displacement, advocating for the inclusion of marginalised voices especially women, in global discussions. I actively promote the intersection of climate change, displacement, and international dialogues. My extensive experience as an advisor and consultant to institutions such as the UN, EU Commission, World Bank, WTO, GIZ, and more has provided valuable insights into the importance of women of color participating in projects focused on diversity and inclusion. I am dedicated to empowering women in displacement situations and advocating for feminist foreign policies. My mission is clear: to influence decision-making processes, bridge gaps in global discussions, and ensure that the most vulnerable to climate change are not left behind. 

As a student in Environmental Chemistry, I have a great passion for climate protection. My ambition is to engage with local communities and in particular with young people, in order to ensure that those who will live on this Earth for the years to come can now shape its future.

Mobility and sustainable logistics is the most important pending issue for European decarbonisation. Not only is it already the number one carbon emitter, contributing to about 30% of GHG gases, but its share continues to grow. Without compliance with the community objectives of the union, it will not be possible to fulfill the European commitment to being the first carbon-free continent. As an ambassador for sustainable mobility, my goals are to raise awareness around this situation and speed up the transition process.
