Lernen Sie unsere Botschafterinnen und Botschafter kennen

I work in the environmental organisation “Mes Darom” and at KTU Institute of Environmental Engineering. I believe fighting climate change starts with small everyday actions — joining local clean-ups, sorting waste, planting trees. I focus on encouraging people to take part in simple, practical actions that lead to real change. As an Ambassador, I want to connect communities and inspire lasting habits.

I am an activist. I am a young person looking to create a better world, a better future. In my daily life I am a student, but I am also someone who is engaged in multiple arenas from the SDGs to sustainable innovation to poetry. To me taking action is not a simple thing, it requires new ideas and an interdisciplinary focus. As an ambassador I will work for broad community engagement, with a focus on creativity and innovation, in particular through education and workshops.

I believe that art can make climate change visible and relatable, transcending borders and language barriers. As a PhD researcher in the humanities and a photographer, I explore how creative expression can inspire empathy and understanding. I believe our education systems must evolve and include art-based methods to reach broader audiences. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to promote inclusion and creativity in climate action.

I am a biologist, epidemiologist, and climate activist. I identify as an eco-feminist and as a member of the board of the Union of Women Alternative and Response, I actively contribute to raising awareness of the challenges that climate change poses to gender equality and women’s rights. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to develop a program in the northern region of Portugal, aimed at promoting climate literacy, particularly focused on rural women in the interior of Portugal. Through conferences, workshops, debates, film screenings, and hands-on activities centered around climate action, good practices for a more sustainable way of life and the protection of local biodiversity, I intend to bridge the knowledge gap on climate change, especially for those living outside major urban centers who have limited access to such training, in particular, rural women. I am committed to making a meaningful and lasting impact on the climate initiatives in our local communities.

As an Ambassador of the Climate Pact, I will make it my mission to spread a systemic thinking approach aiming at involving the entire community in positive and sustainable behavior change processes based on each different territory needs detected and possibilities.

Operationally, I will promote awareness raising, collaborate with the already existent climate networks at a local, regional, national and international level aiming at having a continous dialogue pertaining to best practices.

I'm a Climate Scientist & Feminine Empowerment and Transformational Leadership Facilitator & Coach.

I'm passionate about implementing Women's Empowerment Principles, Transformational Leadership and Systems Change Framework of Theory U & Nature Connectedness to Unlock Women's Sustainability Leadership Potential!

Over recent years I have been involved in the climate project, participating in both live and online events. I have also contributed to correct information and I have subsidised climate campaigns and projects. I have participated actively and politically in climate protection campaigns.

I am an HR Data Analyst from Latvia and founder of “House of Mafia,” a community project that brings people together through teamwork and reflection. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to raise awareness on sustainable habits among young professionals and local communities through social media, workplace initiatives, and creative events.

I am the founder of the non-profit clothing exchange and donation platform and conscious women's community "Giver Tag". Nowadays, the ever-increasing popularity of "clothing swapping" and reuse is one of the best ways to combat the rampant consumerism that fast fashion imposes on us. The clothing and footwear industry accounts significant greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the textile industry is responsible for large amounts of microplastics entering water bodies. The damage and impact of climate change are immeasurable, but even big changes require small steps, which I invite the women of my country to take together. Will you join too?

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I will organise a documentary film festival for public and school children in socially excluded area to raise their awareness about climate change and climate justice issues.

Our food systems are key to tackling the climate crisis. As Chair of Plant Based Treaty Sweden, I represent a global initiative that highlights how food choices directly influence climate change, water scarcity and biodiversity loss. I work as a consultant in crisis preparedness and total defence, and I see plant-based transformation as essential to building modern resilience. My goal as an Ambassador is to promote policies that reduce emissions, protect ecosystems and address root causes.

I am a mother and mindfulness teacher and I've been on a learning pathway with Gaia Education for a number of years. My main focus is on implementing climate and ecological action at the local level. I work at the intersection of social, climate and ecological awareness and contemplative and dialogic practice. I believe that personal and interpersonal regeneration go hand in hand with the regeneration of the earth. Until we change our relationship to the earth we won't be able to care for it. 

I am 25 years old and an environmental engineer. In addition to my professional career in climate action, I have been doing voluntary work in this area for the last six years through the environmental association FOCA - Focus On Critical Actions.

Having also been involved in other social volunteering projects, I have created a holistic commitment to promote a sustainable and just climate transition, which include activities such as the following:

- An awareness-raising session with young people at risk

- Creation of awareness-raising content for dissemination in social media or presentations

- Creation of a manual of good environmental practices for young people and youth associations.

I am an advocate for knowledge-sharing and collaboration to build a climate-neutral Lithuania. As the representative of the Smart and Climate Neutral Mission, I advance sustainability by fostering partnerships across sectors. In my role with the DNSH group, I champion environmental integrity and raise awareness among policymakers and scientists. My goal is to integrate interdisciplinary science into industry solutions, bridging awareness and impactful action toward a sustainable future.

I am the Climate Change Mitigation Manager in AWorld. In AWorld, the official platform of the ACT NOW campaign of the United Nations aimed at empowering citizens in climate action, I deal with all climate/carbon related issues. I am often a speaker at events organised by both non-profit and for-profit organisations where I share scientifically-sound information which can inform and influence change in our unsustainable lifestyles and decision-making. I have started using my social media with the same goal. Coming for academia, my main purpose in life is to incrase the accessibility of environmental, ecological and climate knowledge to everyone, ensuring the delivery of reliable and scientific concepts in simple and accessible language.

My name is Dima. I was born in Latvia, but been living in many different countries in Europe since.

I am musician, scuba diver, video maker and environmentalist. After making a career in music I devoted myself fully to the nature protection. I have became vegan in 2008 after watching documentary "Earthlings". That is when I recognised the power of video camera. Since then I have been volunteering for environment restoration, nature and wildlife protection with many different organisations and projects.

Now I use the super power of the camera to change the values of our society. I would love to see a world when planting a tree is more "cool" than a new Iphone. I think biodiversity is magic, and we need not only to preserve it, but also make it thrive. That is my aim for the future, to volunteer more, to make more videos and never stop!

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.

In meiner Rolle als Botschafter setze ich mich leidenschaftlich für die Stärkung des Umweltbewusstseins, Nachhaltigkeit und die Entwicklung neuer Ansätze in den Bereichen Recycling, Konsum, Mobilität und Energie ein. Meine geplanten Aktivitäten umfassen Kooperationen, Workshops und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit um Menschen verschiedenen Alters und sozialer Herkunft zu erreichen und für Umweltthemen zu begeistern. Ich möchte Raum für Dialoge über Umweltfragen schaffen, um verschiedene Perspektiven und Ansichten einzubeziehen um gemeinsam Lösungen zu entwickeln. Besonders wichtig ist mir dabei die Einbindung von Senioren um ihr Verständnis für den Klimawandel zu vertiefen und selbst aktiv einen Beitrag zum Umweltschutz zu leisten. Gleichzeitig möchte ich aufzeigen, wie auch Menschen mit niedrigem Einkommen nachhaltiger leben können, ohne dabei ihre finanzielle Belastung zu erhöhen. Ein weiteres zentrales Thema ist die Integration von Umweltbildung als Teil des Lehrplans in den Schulalltag.

Translation - In my role as an ambassador, I am passionate about raising environmental awareness, sustainability and developing new approaches in the areas of recycling, consumption, mobility and energy. My planned activities include collaborations, workshops and public relations work to reach people of different ages and social backgrounds and get them excited about environmental issues. I want to create space for dialog on environmental issues, to include different perspectives and views in order to develop solutions together. It is particularly important to me to involve senior citizens in order to deepen their understanding of climate change and to make an active contribution to environmental protection themselves. At the same time, I want to show how people on low incomes can live more sustainably without increasing their financial burden. Another key issue is the integration of environmental education as part of the school curriculum.
