Meet our Ambassadors

Founder of the Stable Foundation, manager, innovator, and social entrepreneur. Family Business Institute expert in the field of sustainability and regeneration. Co-weaver of Generation-RE community and Generation-RE U-Lab Hab. 

I have an interdisciplinary background, having studied economics, psychology in business, and creative writing. Co-traveler of Regenerators Academy 2022, dedicated to a deep understanding of the regenerative paradigm and U-lab 1x journeys with MITx Online.

As a next-generation family business entrepreneur, I have a special commitment to family businesses, regenerative design, and science-based knowledge to create a more sustainable future for all of us, using business as a force for good. 

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.

My activities will focus on supporting and engaging individuals and institutions for transformative action.

As a coach under Climate KIC and national coordinator for Climate education, I will mobilize local engagement, emphasizing the importance of climate education. Through my activities in national and supranational policy and NGO networks, I will advocate for the transition to climate neutrality, biodiversity actions, and urban greening. I will actively contribute to expanding future climate initiatives, focusing also on climate adaptation and promoting diversified (agri) cultural landscapes.

El cambio climatico es un problema que nos afecta a todos y a todos los niveles, es por ello que debemos actuar rapidamente.

Un sector de vital importancia es el sector agricola, donde los efectos repercuten directamente por cambios en la fenologia de cultivos y en el bienestar animal. 

A su vez participan en el problema y como posible solución al actuar como sumideros de CO2, uno de los principales gases de efecto invernadero.

Es por todo ello que es necesario la concienciacion en este sector.

Translation:

Climate change is a problem that affects us all at all levels, which is why we must act quickly.

One sector of vital importance is the agricultural sector, where the effects have a direct impact on crop phenology and animal welfare.

At the same time, they participate in the problem and as possible solution by acting as CO2 sinks, one of the main greenhouse gases.

It is for all these reasons that awareness in this sector is necessary.

I am a landscape architect and an academic from Bucharest interested in green infrastructure strategies and bioclimatic planning and design. As a Climate Pact Ambassador I would like to share and exchange knowledge concerning the role of green areas and urban biodiversity in climate change mitigation and adaptation in order to persuade public authorities, organizations and businesses to initiate climate action and pledges.

For all lives on our planet it is imperative that humans put an end to global warming. No single person will make this happen, so we should all become a climate ambassador to some extent. Thus as a Dutch life sciences student with passion for politics, I didn't hesitate joining the Climate pact as soon as friends advised me to do so. I'm eager to help by advocating for more nuclear energy, an efficient EU train network and the reduction of meat production. Now as a student, one day as politician.

I am a materials scientist working for a green future. As a passionate climber and bikepacker, I spend a lot of time in nature. This has made me realise how fragile our ecosystem is and that everyone has a duty to do their part to protect our planet. I try to do my part by researching sustainable energy storage technologies and promoting the importance of science and technology, especially in the energy sector. Not only among decision-makers, but also among the youth.

In my role as a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to empower and educate young people by equipping them with the skills they need to understand and address key issues related to climate change, energy and development.

Carlos is a sustainability enthusiast and a climate change advocate. He strives to contribute to climate dialogues and negotiations to implement highly ambitious goals. He was shocked when he first read an IPCC report and felt responsible to make a change.

Making use of several roles in these fields, Carlos wants to connect and empower people, focusing on those communities where he lives, the United Kingdom and Spain, to not only share ideas but to bring them to reality.

During my mission, I would like to draw attention to the vulnerability of Lake Balaton and other large lakes and their functional areas in Europe. As the Mayor of Balatonfüred and Chairman of the Lake Balaton Development Council, I am committed to improve climate awareness. By taking sustainability aspects into account, we can all do so much to protect our environment. The implementation of measures often does not require significant financial resources, just a different way of thinking is needed.

I became aware of the Climate Crisis in 2009. Since then I have gained deep domain knowledge and formulated and built an IT framework to accelerate and incentivise emission reductions in the Non-ETS sectors.

Ostara enables carbon mitigation through knowledge transfer and implementation of a bottom up Climate Action Domestic GHG Reduction Programme. Ostara automates consumer participation through clever integration with Fin-tech capabilities. Ostara prices Carbon at €110/tonne.

I'm Rada Boneva, also known as Thrift Sheep. I've created my blog thriftsheep.com back in 2017 as a mission to promote secondhand shopping and vintage treasure hunting, but a few months later I decided to take the path of the zerowaste journey. Since then, I have been sharing my experience and knowledge on environmentalism, climate issues, biodevisity and eco mindfullness for individuals. In 2019 was born ThrftSheep Podcast - a stricly thematic podcast in Bulgarian language with wide range of experts.

As president of Harghita County Council, Romania, I represent a region in which environmental and agricultural subjects are always present in our public dialogue. Being a mountainous and rural area, the economy, tourism, nature protection, biocultural diversity all depend on the climate changes. As member of the ENVE Commission of the CoR, and CoR Ambassador of Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy I will assume the steps needed to be in the benefit of our local and regional communities.

Ethereal Earth-pop duo Berne poetically use music to talk about issues they care deeply about: the climate emergency and social justice, while instilling hope for the future. Berne's activism doesn't just stop at music. That's why they created a low impact, eco-friendly website. To raise further awareness they built an interactive music map that highlights environmental initiatives around the world. Supported by the likes of EU DG Climate Action, #TheWRD from The Ivors Academy, BBC Introducing, EARMILK, Headliner Magazine, and Sound City, Berne continue in their mission to inspire and urge people to bring about change in the world, to highlight that we are in charge of the future and that together we can make a real difference.

I am a young European woman with a firm belief in the values of democracy, equality, and dialogue. I'm inspired by action and I act to inspire!

In my fight against the most urgent challenge, the climate crisis, I try to put the people and their needs first. As an EU Climate Pact Ambassador I wish to focus on just transition, climate education, awareness raising, and public participation.

If we want to save our Planet Earth, we need to join all forces. So will YOU join me?

I am an environmentalist made in Sardinia, born at 350 ppm and when the Montreal Protocol came into force.

I am passionate about human dynamics and how we can lead people to implement sustainable action by inspiring them through storytelling. My objective as an ambassador is to inspire sustainable behavior change by implementing good climate communication. A communication that is both about accountability and inspiration, that talks about vision and solutions starting from scientific data.

Vice-President for Europe and International of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, President of COTER at the European Committee of the Regions, I want to get involved in sustainable development and in the fight against climate change. Through its Neo Terra roadmap, my Region shares the same ambitions as the European Green Pact and wants to become an exemplary territory. Néo Terra, eleven commitments in many sectors (companies, transport, agroecology, biodiversity, energy ...).

Being enthusiastic & determined is fundamental to keep going on, to believe in our ability to improve our world. I wish to put those qualities at the service of this CP.

As an ambassador, I will strive for reaching out people and organization, lead them to fight against global warming, by spreading knowledge and awareness campaign regarding causes and consequences of climate change.

I also seek to fulfill my mission by linking organizations and my network all together, to help bring solutions.
