As an ambassador, my mission will focus on fostering environmental awareness, promoting the dissemination and democratization of knowledge about the ecological crisis, and highlighting the crucial role that young people play in the fight against climate change and in the pursuit of climate justice.

I will leverage my platforms of action to contribute to the development of the European Climate Pact and disseminate the essential knowledge required to establish an environmental culture that adequately addresses the ecological and climate challenges we face.

I am an eighteen-year-old activist and storyteller born in southern Mexico. I have been involved in human rights, climate justice, and gender activism for several years. In my work, I focus on the importance of intersectionality in social movements. I am currently a member of the Youth Advisory Board for the UN Foundation's Girl Up initiative in Mexico and the Youth Advisory Council for World Ocean Day. For my work, I was named Young Leader 2023 by the WOW Foundation.

As an Ambassador, my main objective is to promote environmental awareness through educational resources that frame the current climate crisis as an issue of social and intersectional justice. In addition, I plan to create activities and projects that promote the leadership of the most vulnerable communities in the face of the climate crisis. In this term, I will focus on using writing and advocacy as key tools to motivate climate action among the new generation of leaders.

I am Francisco Rodriguez, a young changemaker who is an engineer, specialised in climate change, that is the reason why I am looking for a challenging opportunity as to be an Ambassador on the Climate Pact. Personally, I am confident about my fit with this role as I consider myself a changemaker who love to create interactions between different stakeholders as I did in Climathon 2020 and 2021.

An activist for the protection of our planet since my adolescence, I try to raise awareness and gather people around the fight against global warming. I am convinced that it is together that we will make the difference. For that purpose, through associations that I coordinate, I carry out awareness projects in schools, advocate with our political representatives and create conferences on the subject. Thanks to a long trip outside Europe, I promised myself to make Europeans aware in one way or another that climate protection is everyone’s responsibility and that it goes beyond our continental borders. I will also support many campaigns especially for a more responsible agriculture and the one for the protection of our precious ocean.

As an ambassador, I would love to develop the projects I already undertake but above all I would love to be able to share, via social networks, new narratives as I endeavour to do on a daily basis. It is important to reconsider our relationship to nature.

My name is Sophie. I am from Germany and I truly believe in the power of people to create a sustainable and healthy planet for us all. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I primarily want to demonstrate that a sustainable life is fun! Being particularly passionate about road cycling and sustainable food, I aim to bring two projects to life next year:

1) In the summer of 2024, I am planning to cycle through 10 Eastern European NetZeroCities to raise awareness about sustainable cities in Europe. I will interview the cities’ mayors and people and share my journey on my social media channel (stay tuned!).

2) Meeting new people is fun and trying new vegan recipes is fun! So why not bring both together? I want to create a platform to organise vegan running dinners across Europe. People can sign up to find others in their city and share vegan recipes (stay tuned as well!).

As a Climate Pact Ambassador I will use my platform as program host, moderator and key note speaker to highlight the Pact and push for climate action in all pillars of society. 

I plan to connect my daily work with the Climate Pact of the EU. I will take a humanitarian scope and I will connect information on the impact of the climate crisis with future crisis perspectives, bringing in prevention and preparedness approaches. I will also bring the EU Climate Pact to civil society organisations, and to local agendas, especially schools and the education sector. Climate is a global issue, but giving visibility to local actions and giving voice to local actors will be my most immediate commitment.  Finally, I will work with other Pact ambassadors, contributing to a collective positive impact for this common agenda.

With close to 20 years in finance, dealing mostly with long term relationships with HNW clients and provide them with investment and wealth management advice, I got the understanding of the fact that, on the long term (but not only!), economics and the environment are inextricably linked. Therefore, I decided to extend my knowhow in ESG factors analysis, valuation and investment decision-making.

I want to be involved in global and national action on climate change, but I never forget the small, daily steps that are so important in this fight. My mission is to inspire positive change. Through engaging workshops and online events, I educate young individuals about sustainable living, emphasising the importance of climate action. Active on social media, I leverage its reach to amplify awareness. I want to inspire young people, so they can join me on this creative journey toward a brighter future, one inspired by the SDGs and fueled by youthful energy!

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory's sustainability journey is motivated by the societal need to tackle climate change and driven by the enthusiasm of our staff. Life science research in Europe has a huge environmental impact, but it has been slow to respond the crisis. Using my experience as a sustainability professional and my organisations reputation and commitment to sustainability, I hope to drive other life science research organisations to start their own journey.

Based in Annemasse, Haute-Savoie, I am an impassioned advocate for environmental justice, intertwining my legal expertise with a fervent commitment to climate action and education. Currently an intern at the Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions, Governance Branch, of the UN Environmental Programme in Geneva, my career spans various pivotal roles, formerly being an ESG Consultant. A holder of an LLM in Environmental Law from the University of Melbourne, and Bachelor of Laws from King's College London, I leverage my educational and professional experiences to empower communities through knowledge, especially in the legal frameworks related to climate change. As a Pact Ambassador, I will extend my endeavours to elevate climate awareness, implement knowledge-sharing initiatives, and inspire collective educative action towards a sustainable future, with a particular focus on the intricate interplay of climate change and legal structures globally.

I am a data-driven sustainability advocate and the founder of a start-up that helps organisations to walk the talk when it comes to sustainability. I am passionate about using data and technology to solve big issues like climate change, and I am committed to raising awareness and educating others about the importance of sustainability and ESG.

As a Pact Ambassador, I plan to use my skills and experience to help the Pact achieve its goals of building a more sustainable world. I will do this by writing blog posts and articles about sustainability and ESG, giving talks and presentations to businesses, schools, and other organisations, collaborating with other Pact Ambassadors to develop and implement new initiatives, and helping the Pact to develop and implement its own sustainability and ESG strategy.

I am confident that I can make a significant contribution to the Climate Pact as an Ambassador, and I am excited to work with you to build a more sustainable future.

My aim is to create a greener, sustainable and more peaceful Cyprus and a healthy planet for the next generation. This especially relies on strengthening the cooperation on climate change between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, as well as encouraging youth's democratic participation in the process. Therefore, aim to to elevate the voices of young people from the two communities, and to encourage the emergence of innovative and sustainable climate policies and ideas through building peace.

I'm a mother of two, a botanist and an agricultural engineer. Ecology and living beings have always played a central role in my life. The catalyst for my commitment to sustainability was my professional experience in heavy industry, where I worked in waste recovering. My interest in sustainability led me to Decathlon, where I was able to start from scratch to raise awareness among teams, customers and the general public, as well as develop new processes to make rental, second life and repair accessible to the many and profitable for the company.

With our Veggie Association, we want to influence citizens by showing them

- Individual responsibility counts,

- With the food on your plate you can have an impact on the world!

- Change comes through inspiration, not fear and blame.

- Change is sometimes easier than we think.

- The exponential curve of a virtuous circle is just as powerful as a vicious circle.

- Many people are ready for change.

- United we stand, divided we fall!

I plan to organise activities which contain spechees about climate change to those who are not yet involved in climate action. As a deputy mayor of envrinoment I want to engage with other local communities on environment-friendly practices, events and thematic discussions. I also plan to exchange knowledge and try to find climate solutions via my duties as a young elected politician in Brussels.

My aim to raise awareness and engage with climate education, by emphasising the role of the youth in fighting climate change, which I wish to continue doing as a Climate Ambassador. Given the existential threat that the climate crisis poses, I believe that it is imperative to learn and re-learn the ways that we interact with climate emissions as individuals and as groups, which I believe can be effectively carried out through research and community awareness.

I would describe myself as an European citizen who is aware of the climate crisis, and decided to take action in 2017. I have realised that everyone can make a difference and be part of the solution, no matter the personal background, knowledge or professional skills. I have also learnt that, for big challenges, it is better to join forces with others rather than walking alone. My strongest skill is communication, for this reason I believe I could play a role as Ambassador raising awareness, creating inspiration and sharing science-based knowledge. I live in Asturias, a region in which a fair transition to decarbonisation is essential due to its industrial heritage. The role of a Climate Pact ambassador could be essential here. I have also built a personal reputation regarding sustainability in my company, Bridgestone, which belongs to the mobility sector which will embrace important changes to achieve its ambitious decarbonisation targets.
