Mød vores ambassadører

I am an Engineer (Meng) and since 2017 that my studies started, I have been involved in the professional, research and volunteering level with issues of sustainability, circular economy and green innovation. New initiatives that foster green social change are my virtue, while I strongly believe that each engineer should be devoted to anthropocentric design and planning, driven by sustainability and available scientific knowledge. 

I'm dedicated to climate action through education and advocacy. Currently, I work at the Center of Teaching & Learning at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I am also the author of two books: one focusing on the SDGs and another children's book addressing climate change. As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I plan to engage young children in understanding sustainable practices in their daily lives through interactive activities that promote environmental awareness.

Rethinking about how to inspire citizens and how to build bridges between the EU communities is the key challenge to raise awareness. Being an Environmental Engineer with MSc & PhD studies in Greece, Canada & UK, I strongly believe that it is our duty to disseminate scientific data in a comprehensive way to engage EU citizens to take actions through good practices. Changing our philosophy is urgent and can be done only through holistic action, in EU rural & urban areas.

I am a PhD-trained materials scientist, sustainability expert, and youth leader, deeply passionate about driving sustainable innovation and empowering young people to take action. With deep dives into the worlds of startups, industry, and NGOs, I have gained profound insights into the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a more sustainable future. Currently I am engaging in the innovation arena in Europe to foster creative, forward-thinking solutions to shape a desirable future.

I’m an Environmental Engineer, PhD candidate and Deputy Secretary of the Environment Sector of PASOK, working at the crossroads of science, policy and society. I focus on climate resilience and the green transition. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I’ll host public events, launch a monthly podcast and use media to connect citizens, experts and decision-makers, inspiring real climate action.

As a scientific consultant in Cave Geology and Paleoclimate at the Cave of Lakes (Achaea, Greece) and its newly-established “Environmental Center”, I will raise awareness regarding the current climate change based on the 'speleothems' book. Speleothems, the crystalline formations everyone admires in caves - among them the well-known stalactites and stalagmites - record with an exceptional resolution the global climate change during the period of their formation. They represent a compact history book for the global climate which is full of climate change lessons and examples.

I am a theatre artist who is passionate about climate justice, active in campaigns from a young age. By combining my two passions I created the performance Acres of Longing which explores displacement due to coal mining and the connection between people and nature. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to raise awareness and inspire people to envision a clean and just future, by using art as my main tool. I intend to organise workshops, discussions, interactive and immersive evеnts.

I am an ecologist with a doctorate degree and an educationalist with a master's degree, who has combined the basic knowledge of ecology with educating people. I believe that we can bring about the most lasting change in society through better education, that is, the ability to think in complex systems and guide our behavior according to our knowledge.

Education & open-mindedness are the key to make people realise we need to ACT. I have been active in the field of non-formal education for many years and initiated quite a few activities to make others contribute to a positive change in how we tackle sustainability-linked issues. And it can be done through daily things, national regulations or global networks. We need to cooperate on a multi-stakeholder level, work together for the common interest to secure ourselves a safer and liveable world.

It is very important that we do everything we can to protect our environment at the local level, in our own environment. In addition, existing good practices at the municipal level need to be disseminated in order to develop a wide-ranging and effective approach.

As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I am dedicated to:

1. Fostering an Active Community: Empowering youth and creative communities through Web3 technology to actively support urgent climate action.
2. Mobilizing Resources: Seeking opportunities to support impactful projects and programs addressing climate change challenges.
3. Active Participation in COP28 and Beyond: Contributing insights, perspectives, and expertise to shape effective climate policies and agreements at international conferences.

Through these responsibilities, I aim to make a meaningful impact as a European Climate Pact Ambassador, leading by example in climate action and environmental protection.

I am a graduate of the University of Silesia and the Silesian University of Technology with a degree in environmental protection, and have worked in local government dealing with ecological issues since the beginning of my career. Professionally and privately, I look at where we are going and what we can change for a better life - how to use the resources of the planet with the least possible side effect of its degradation. Since January 2024 I have been working as an Eco-advisor, running social media and being active locally.

I am the Bulgarian Youth Delegate to the United Nations and a student of International Relations passionate about sustainability, circular economy, and youth empowerment. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to engage young people across Bulgaria in climate literacy and policy dialogues through workshops, school campaigns, and green innovation initiatives that link local action to the European Green Deal and promote intergenerational climate responsibility.

I am a Chemical Engineer MSc, PhD, dedicated to sustainable development. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to blend my diverse passions – mother of two, ballet dancer, trail runner, fencer, and assistant professor – into tangible climate initiatives. My plan to foster awareness includes school activities, a climate-themed ballet performance, engaging athletes in climate-focused events, and mobilizing university students to bridge gaps to engage diverse communities for a sustainable future.

I work as a freelancer & I am a business expert in sustainable urban development (1992 – onwards). I am cofounder of Just Transition Institute Greece. JTIG is a non-profit civil partnership with the main goal of implementing scientific activities in support of the effort of the affected areas to the developmental transformation during the period of lignite phase out. My Vision is to Assist & support institutions, companies, employees, unemployed and all citizens in the EU Just Transition areas.

I am a sustainability trainer and consultant and co-founder of RooTerra and Roes Cooperativa. I lead Erasmus+ projects about climate and sustainability empowering youth and educators through climate education, regenerative leadership, and zero waste practices. I’m a Climate Fresk facilitator, Climate KIC coach, and part of the Erasmus+ Youth Greece trainer pool. My goal is to engage 300+ people and reach 2,000+ online through weekly climate posts and local events.

My main goal as a European Climate Pact Ambassador is to raise awareness among citizens about climate and green actions, in order to gain green consciousness and achieve the ultimate goal of climate neutrality. Through interactive events and extroversion, which will be achieved by networking between stakeholders and citizens, there will exchange good practices and know-how on how to build a green and sustainable future for all, realising the benefits that will arise from it. Because the future belongs to young people, their involvement in programmes related to environmental protection and climate neutrality will familiarise them with green development. 

Currently studying for a Master's degree in Environmental Management and involved in several youth associations, I want to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and people who do not have privileged access to scientific knowledge.
I want to find the right balance between organizing round tables for constructive discussions and field activities such as tree planting and training on various aspects of climate change.

I am an LL.M. candidate in Law and Sustainability at Utrecht University, focusing on environmental law and climate change. With experience as a lawyer in Greece, I volunteer for Groentetas, a nonprofit promoting sustainable food, and I am a founding member of Heraklion’s Trainee & Young Lawyers Association. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I’ll lead a Crete beach cleanup with educational talks, publish climate articles, and organize a vegan cooking event to engage students in sustainable practices.
