Meet our Ambassadors

I am a student at the University of Luxembourg, a delegate for Sustainability, and president of the Student Association for Sustainability. As an Ambassador, I will organise weekly events and meetings over the year to come. I want to involve students directly as they are today's and tomorrow's citizens. I am ready to collaborate with the local coordinator and the European community of ambassadors to promote the European Climate Pact. I am willing to create a solid local team that will be then ready to spread awareness on climate change, the environment, and sustainability for the future.

I plan to take a "glocal" approach, working for climate action at the local level and communicating my knowledge about European and International green policies. On the one hand, my interest is to share knowledge about European policies on the environment, climate action and sustainability with my networks (Opino Juris readers and Instagram profile). On the other hand, I want to continue to promote projects with our association and local community, from waste collection to nature care to education on various initiatives, including EU initiatives. My goal is to promote EU initiatives and policies and make them accessible to citizens. I want citizens to be aware and motivated to act.

I'm a philosopher and I decided to take action against climate change starting with school students. My projects aim to make young students (ages 12-13) aware of the strong power they have in taking action against climate change, influencing parents and friends. I started from two schools in Abruzzo, Italy, but I want my project to be an example to others. 

Some years ago, I also started working with the University of Ferrara on Circular Economy projects, in order to find the best way to communicate how to change the process of industrialization into a new approach, eco-design for example. The entrepreneurs do not immediately understand how useful it is to reduce gas emissions, reduce waste, etc... until they connect it to the advantage that being carbon-free is directly linked to better living, a better future for us all, and also an increased value of the brand.

University Researchers are a unique and rich source of information that can be applied with success to solve the problems of the companies. Together they are a great team to face the new challenges of this ecological transition and not only.

I am the co-founder of Cycling 4 Climate, a foundation which aims to make working on sustainability fun through cycling. I am planning to organise various cycling events to raise awareness, and stimulate action for the climate.

Hi, its Nessi

As an ambassador I want and I will promote information and activities that people can do to be more green, efficient and effective related to our good green practices, and in our day a day - lifestyle.

Fields that are regular to everyone as: The use of energy and different ways of reducing the consump in ways of investment and/or the effective use of electricity, - The consump of food, water and materials

New ways of travelling and transport, new ways of agriculture production,

As an ambassador, I want the work that I do to be amplified. I want to have more youth organisations and young people in general involved in climate discussions. From workshops, to protests, to academic reports, to localised actions that could be proposed by youth organisations themselves, I want to keep the discussion going and for those discussions to be transformed into actions by those who have the power to make true change.

I am a dedicated advocate for climate action and sustainability. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I am committed to making a positive impact on the environment and my minority community. My primary focus is on organising educational workshops, where I aim to inspire and educate the next generation about the importance of sustainable living and climate responsibility. Through engaging presentations, informative articles, and interactive workshops, I will empower participants to take concrete steps towards a greener future. Together, we'll work towards a more sustainable, climate-conscious Europe.

I am a 27-year-old ICT teacher, leading "Mladi za Đakovo," and actively engaged in local NGOs. As a Climate Pact ambassador, I will promote climate education in schools, establish a community eco-center, and partner with NGOs for tree-planting, waste reduction, and clean-up projects. I will also advocate for sustainable urban planning and green infrastructure in Đakovo, aiming to showcase our city as a model of climate action within the European Climate Pact network.

I am a dedicated advocate for transforming the fashion industry towards sustainability. With a passion for creating a positive impact, my vision is to be at the forefront of change, raising my voice and pioneering initiatives to reshape the fashion landscape. I am committed to promoting sustainable practices through active engagement, leveraging my role to make a change throughout all levels globally. I aim to contribute to a liveable world for future generations. 

I am originally from the Souss Valley, South west Morocco, that experiences now severe drought & water shortage. This had trigger since long time ago my deep and sharp consciousness about climate change impact (even before it becomes a public topic). I pledged to myself 15 years ago to act at my personal level, as well as with all others for whom ecology matters, to spread the awareness about climate change and how our acts can help in the global effort. I want to plant trees again in my region!

As a freelance climate advocate and author, I dedicate my time to advancing climate action in schools through writing and lecturing around the conclusions in my book "Talk To Children About Climate". Because an educational system reform must be at the heart of building a sustainable, just and resilient society. A starting point is ensuring all countries offer science-based climate education, helping young people build emotional resilience and introducing students early on to collective action.

I am also the Co-founder of the citizen-led climate data platform, Klimatkollen (Climate Checker), aiming to provide citizens with relevant and actionable climate data to help advance the Paris Agreement and bring down emissions in line with science.

As a geologist specialising in the study of past climate change, I have gained invaluable insights into the forcings shaping our planet. My work, today focused on Mediterranean wetlands, has been a journey of discovery, highlighting the profound impacts of human-induced factors on our ecosystems. However, our planet is constantly under the influence of natural forces and understanding the past is crucial for comprehending the present and shaping the future.  I am committed to educating people about biodiversity, flora, vegetation, and climate change, engaging citizens including students. Partnering with the Green Office in Florence, I promote sustainability, bridging theory and practice. With my background and experience, I aim to drive meaningful and lasting change towards a more sustainable and resilient future for our planet. The knowledge of our climatic past is integral to our journey towards a brighter environmental future.

Sasha Bezuhanova is a senior executive, angel investor in sustainable startups and philanthropist with a 20-years executive business career in HP and a multi-dimensional track record of service to society. She is the founder and chairperson of MOVE.BG - civil platform for sustainable and innovative development in Bulgaria. Sasha is the initiator of Green Restart Coalition which unites leading business and green NGOs, Chairperson of the board WWF CEE and advisor in the Green Tech Alliance.

I consider myself a concerned and caring citizen of the earth. As my duty towards my planet, I actively volunteer for environment and climate related events of Greenpeace Luxembourg. I am also an active member of Foodsharing Luxembourg, a group of concerned citizens on a mission to save any wastage of food. In 2023, I completed a one year Certificate in Sustainable Development and Social Innovation course at the University of Luxembourg. During this course I worked on citizen science projects with a peer group. I firmly believe that only with a mindset of sustainable development, we can help ourselves as well as the next generations to live in harmony with the ecosystem and stop more damage to our planet.

An entire career as an economic and environmental historian made me aware that strengthening the interaction between Academia and society is key to act on climate change. As President of Leonardo-IRTA, Research Institute of the environment and territories, I intend to fulfil my mission as Climate Pact Ambassador by signalling the climate added value of our projects on all occasions in which citizens and local to national institutions are involved (meetings, publications, online platforms).

As an Ambassador, I want to raise awareness about the climate and ecological crisis.

I will combine my knowledge about the building sector (which accounts for about 40% of the global CO2 emissions) and my passion for youth education.

I will focus on possible future scenarios, finding solutions to mitigation and adaptation at the urban scale, promoting nature driven, human centered and energy efficient built environment. I will try my best to make a difference and to inspire people.

I have been involved in climate action for decades. The first time I heard about climate change (specifically about rise of global temperature and related rise of CO2 level) was back to 1986, when my teacher told us about this. This not only ignited a spark about the importance of action, but showed me the key role of education and quality transmitted scientifically based messages. I have been involved in many climate-related campaigns to date, including having attended the crucial Paris COP. But I can say that only the appearance of the high school climate movement has shifted my climate activities into a higher orbit. This is when and why I decided to write a Plea for systematic climate action, which was. in a short time. signed by more than 550 Croatian scientists and then addressed to Croatian state institutions. Since then, I have primarily been working within the Scientists for Climate, an interface between science, NGOs and politics. Being an Ambassador will mean an extension of these activities. 

My aim is to create a activities database that anyone can open and easily pick a activity or a game related to nature and climate change for their children. Whether it is a teacher in primary school or non-formal educator, they should be able to quickly find all materials - rules, needed equipment and facts - in one place.

Most of the time we hear scary predictions about climate change and the fact that we must change the world order to a more sustainable one. But Rome wasn't built in a day, so we should not force people to change their lifestyles in a instant. Instead we can create effective public education through culture, entertainment, experience and through simply being in nature. Without pressure, without criticism, with a smile, good music and a positive mood, we invite you to tame life together with nature, in small steps.
