Elena Lopez Gunn

I am very proud of being a climate pact ambassador, specially because I have experienced being part of such a strong community of motivated, engaged and brilliant people striving to make the world a better place. In my different roles, I am particularly specialised in the area of climate change adaptation, I thrive in the collective energy of our pact. I am currently Founder and Director of Icatalist an SME located in Spain, with a fantastic team currently involved in the EU mission on adaptation and a range of EU research projects. I am also a Research Fellow at the Royal Elcano Institute, part of the Climate, energy and water group. I was part of the IPCC AR6 WG II on Adaptation as Lead author for the water chapter and member of UNESCO Task force on Science Based water assessment. I am currently a member of the EU Scientific Advisory Board on Climate change . President of BRIGAID Connect Association, centered on capacity building for climate innovators. I am also a mother of three great young adults that prove to me everyday positive change is possible. I am also lucky to now have made friends with other climate pact ambassadors. Together we have high hopes on making climate action a reality, particularly for those that face ecoanxiety or scepticism, trying to show that climate action can make a difference into our quality of life and other species with what we do, think and share. Happy to be contacted for projects that want to have a positive impact on people and planet.
