Rencontrez nos ambassadeurs

I am David Oudsandji, born in Cologne and a true European at heart. The idea the borderless EU is just like our imagination. That is why I can easily envision tackling the upcoming climate crisis through initiatives, startups, and education. I am eager to contribute to the fight for a better world.

I am a community Psychologist and I teach at the University of Padua, and I am an International Photogreporter for Getty Images and international magazines. I work for years with the technique of Photovoice that I teach at University, and whit I am working with the Italian group of ambassadors for Climate Pact, Euclipa.it, for creating awareness and to activate citizens in finding adaptive solutions based on Nature Based Solutions Model and to create bridges between citizens and institutiions.

I am 32 and come from the Sorrento Peninsula, in the metropolitan area of Naples. I graduated in law with a thesis on marine protected areas regulation linked to sustainable tourism. As a lawyer I have been working with a firm in the field of environmental and agrifood law, assisting companies with compliance to environmental laws and becoming more sustainable.  Since 2018 I have been volunteering in the field of sea protection with the association Marevivo. Since 2022 I lead the local delegation of the Sorrento Peninsula. For about two years I was the Councillor for the Environment of the City of Sorrento and I implemented projects related to green cities, reforestation, protection of the sea, hiking and sustainable mobility, waste reduction, promotion of reuse and circular economy. My commitment is to increase awareness about the key role of the sea protection in climate action, also promoting a sustainable development of Sorrento local fish supply chain.

I'm Nadia, brand consultant with a keen interest in green economy and sustainability. 

As an International Relations graduate, I focus on understanding the global issues of our times and find ways on how to effectively deal with them. 

Climate change is indeed the biggest challenge of our generation, it is our call to act on it. As a youth activist and international speaker I raise awareness though activities that promote a more green future and society, starting from actively engaging today.

As a former local government employee and a senior specialist in the municipal greenery management unit, I have extensive knowledge of urban nature management and knowledge about the level of climate awareness of city authorities and residents. I am working on raising the awareness of city authorities about the need for a new natural resource management system, following the needs of climate change adaptation. I cooperate with city activists and local authorities as a volunteer.

As a physicist with a master's degree in Environmental Management Strategies and from the very first years of my service as Mayor of Fyli, I have fully supported and encouraged the advocacy of the Sustainable Development in the Municipality as well as the achievement of Climate Neutrality. My actions will include: cooperation with local communities - implementation of energy saving projects, circular economy and generally drastic reduction of the carbon footprint of the municipality.

I am a PhD Researcher at MINES ParisTech, with an esteemed academic trajectory, bolstered by a prestigious Marie Curie Scholarship. With a focus on enhancing the interpretability of AI tools in the energy sector, I merge my profound knowledge from my M. Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras and my ongoing M. Sc. in Management from Solvay Business School. Previously at ENTSO-e, I coordinated the Pan European Market Modelling DataBase, simultaneously aiding the Seasonal Outlook reports. An advocate for clean energy, my experiences across various European entities have deepened my passion and understanding of electricity markets. As a Pact Ambassador, I aim to leverage this extensive background to advance climate awareness, particularly harnessing AI to bridge knowledge gaps in sustainable energy solutions.

Our future is intrinsically, undeniably linked to climate action. Ignoring the emergency of climate change is an act of conscious decision-making against our best long-term interests. I believe education and communication are key values to turn this around. And us, youth, are not settling for less.

Apart from individual action, I am involved with project REBOOT, a portuguese-based NGO for communication and raising awareness on climate change. Find us at https://project-reboot.pt/. We are a team of volunteers, passionate about ending the inertia that we witness in every corner of the fight against climate change. Let's get the wheels of this bus-on-fire moving.

Our museum seeks to dive in, explore, and eventually employ the principles of environmental sustainability in scientific research, museum management, and educational programs. As a cultural institution which seeks to connect and engage in dialogues with our communities, we take responsibility in education about the threats and hopes surrounding the climate crises discourse. My main role is to engage in educational activities with children and adolescents, in hope to inspire for such dialogues.

At just 20 years old, Gabrielle co-directs the production of a podcast that features stories of individuals from around the world, both young and not-so-young, who are making a difference in their own ways for sustainable development - Causes Toujours!.

During her internship at The Boson Project, a consultancy firm specialised in human excellence, she started working for Youth Forever, an organisation that would become her partner in creating this podcast and write various articles on the expectations of the Gen Z around the world.

In parallel to her studies in a double major of Management and Modern Languages at King's College London, and an exchange year in Mexico, Gabrielle is actively involved in various forms of engagement for a fairer and more sustainable society.

I am 28 years-old and from Porto, Portugal. I am a bioinformatician, currently doing a PhD in Integrative Biology and Biomedicine. I am a Candidate for the primaries for the next european elections and I will push for the climate agenda in the portuguese politics landscape.

I am a chef working at the Michelin Starred Restaurant Venissa.

As a Climate Ambassador, I will continue to promote healthier and more sustainable nutrition and to raise awareness on the food-climate-environment nexus by working with my staff, customers and suppliers on a daily basis, as well as by engaging other chefs and people at large on this topic through the activities of the LIFE Climate Smart Chefs project.

We are very passionate about involving young people in fighting climate change and ensuring a more prosperous future. Kaja Pavlinić its' president is an activist and is very passionate about youth work and empowering young people to raise their voices.

As a Climate Ambassador, I have the opportunity and platform to do something really positive within my community.

It's a great opportunity to promote positive climate actions in a local context.

My focus is to interconnect local climate activists with other relevant networks and stakeholders, also across Europe, talking about climate change during regular interactions and activities, especially to those who are not yet involved in climate action.

I am a researcher on environmental policy, host of the Mission Regeneration podcast and member of the Governmental taskforce for the creation of a national green investment plan for Portugal.

My commitment as European Climate Pact Ambassador is to inform and raise awareness about the impact of regenerative development initiatives within the EU space, as an empowerment tool to increase the engagement of more cities, corporations and citizens in restoring and healing the environment, our home.

I commit to develop:

Despite being a minor, I am committed to take action against climate change in every way possible. My goal is to raise awareness and educate others on such complex topics as global warming and climate mitigation.

Being an Ambassador not only gives me the opportunity to make my voice heard, but also to able to get to know others' opinions and perspectives, because from my point of view we can only improve things if we work together and share our experiences with one another. For that reason, I am dedicated to cooparating with several organisations and institutions, in order to make a difference.

I am an unwavering advocate for environmental sustainability, steadfast in my conviction that collective action is the fulcrum for overcoming our global challenges. As a dedicated Pact Ambassador, I am fueled by an unyielding commitment to cultivate awareness and drive substantive transformation within my sphere of influence. My approach hinges on orchestrating immersive and hands-on DIY workshops that not only equip individuals with practical sustainability tools but also kindle a profound appreciation for diversity and inclusivity. In my role, I aspire to not merely interact with diverse groups but to co-create an environment that beckons all, where backgrounds and perspectives converge to ignite innovation in sustainable practices. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge webinars, forging collaborative ventures that transcend boundaries, and deeply valuing the kaleidoscope of perspectives that diversity brings, I aim to empower individuals to catalyse enduring change.

My motivation consists of helping to form critical, active, supportive, committed and co-responsible citizenship with their environment and with people, through social networks. My aim is that the information does not remain only on the screen, but that what is learned and shared digitally manifests in tangible results.

In 2020 I translated the En-ROADS climate simulator in Bulgarian and became the only Climate Ambassador of the tool in Bulgaria. En-ROADS is a global climate simulator that allows users to explore the impact of roughly 30 policies-such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices-on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

So far, we have shown it to over 400 students in high schools in the city of Varna, Bulgaria and we are looking to expand it to universities, companies and institutions. I will be happy to partner with you and invite you (and your team) to a climate workshop. Looking forward to hearing from you.
