Climate Pact Ambassadors

I am an agronomist, manager of the ecological transition and professor of geopedology and I have been a consultant for the Covenant of Mayors. I work with municipalities, regions, schools, associations, companies  directly or indirectly with my association "SAVE YOUR GLOBE" and others. I lead many activities annually about the environment, climate change, circular economy, urban forestry, biodiversity, sustainability and sustainability agriculture. I use also social netwotks, tv and radio programs. I will encourage citizens, schools, companies, organisations, and regional and national governments to get involved in climate action and carbon neutrality efforts.

As a Climate Ambassador, I will work at different levels (regional, national, EU) to help find solutions to as well as the necessary funding for the climate challenges we are currently facing, specifically solutions coming from the environmental, circular economy and new energies fields. In this role I would like to improve dialogue and awareness between all players to facilitating putting these solutions into practice, also sharing experiences with other Climate Ambassadors so we all learn from one another.

In the last three years, my climate engagement has been multifaceted and impactful. Serving as one of the SGD Coordinators of the UN SDSN Youth, I collaborated with local organisations, organising academic events and journeys focused on sustainable practices and green innovation. Additionally, as a Facilitator of EIT Climate KIC Greece and PhDc in Green Innovation and Cybernetics, I fostered innovation and entrepreneurship in climate-related fields. Being a Member of the Anna Lindh Foundation, I contributed to promoting intercultural dialogue on environmental issues. I also led local initiatives such as campus gardening and tree planting in local forests, promoting biodiversity and acting as carbon sinks. Last but not least, I actively participated in various Youth Forums and Conferences based on Climate Change and Sustainability Impact and Energy Transition framework.

I am a resilience and sustainability expert with experience in strategic planning,urban policy & European projects on climate resilience and innovation.As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I will organize workshops on climate adaptation and urban resilience, training sessions for public authorities on SDG localization and strategic planning & community actions promoting sustainable urban food systems,collaborative climate initiatives, the role of EU Missions (NetZero & Adaptation) & resilience thinking

My main goal is to help people understand that we must protect the environment. But that there are proven ways of doing this that allow us to maintain or even improve our way of living. I try to engage the young engineers I educate  on the environmental elements of their work, helping them to understand that we are only borrowing our planet from our children and future generations, and thus we must leave them a better environment to that which we found.

To mitigate a climate emergency, we must urgently tackle transport which - while not the largest polluter - is the only sector with a growing carbon footprint in the EU. Electric vehicles (EVs), along with public transport and active mobility, will help us get there.

But EVs are still not widely used or available today due to the high upfront cost and the lack of charging infrastructure. Also, if all vehicles were replaced by EVs today, the energy grids couldn't cope with the extra electricity demand. 

Smart EV charging can help overcome these current challenges and tackle future ones, e.g. through:

• balanced management of charging and energy distribution when multiple vehicles charge at the same time; 

• better management of the grid usage, capacity and costs associated with energy use at different times of the day; or

• integration of renewable energy sources for charging of vehicles.

I represent EVBox which has pioneered smart EV charging solutions since 2010. In my role as Director Policy Europe, I pledge to continue engaging constructively with the EV ecosystem, civil society and decision-makers to accelerate the adoption of e-mobility as part of a multimodal transport system to enable a zero-emission future.

I am a behavioral biologist and climate coordinator for Gmunden, thus encouraging climate actions is of great importance to me. As I have coordinated citizen science projects in the past, I intend to bridge the gap between science and the public to raise awareness and actively involve the community and consequently reduce fake news. Together with the Vice Mayor of Gmunden, I am organizing the Gmunden Climate Award, which is intended to honor stakeholders and their special achievements.

I work as Sustainability Manager at Audiovisual Producers Finland APFI, guiding the Finnish film and TV industry towards sustainability, from practical operations and policies to stories on screen. Since the early 2010s, I've worked as a freelance TV professional and have been one of the pioneers in raising environmental awareness in the industry. I'm the co-author of Finland’s 1st sustainability guidebook Ekosetti (2019). I hold a BA in Media & Arts (2012) and a BSc in Natural Resources (2020).

I am the Chief Sustainability Officer in UNEP/GRID-Warsaw responsible for initiatives and business transformation in the fields of ecosystems restoration, climate adaptation, waste management, building strategies and policies as well as transforming processes along the whole value chain. I am part of YOUNGO, Climate Ambassador in Max Thabiso Edkins Programme of GYCN and World Bank. I am an executive and board advisor and coach in the field of value chain and business transformation as well as geopolitical aspects and climate adaptation. I am the former coordinator of the biggest Polish climate related programme - Climate Leadership. 

Communication and local actions are key for climate neutrality. I will be working to connect citizens, institutions, and innovators in the city’s journey toward climate neutrality. I promote participatory green projects, local innovation, and climate education, believing that meaningful climate action starts with trust, inclusion, and collaboration.

It seems to me a necessary project and I hope it continues to grow. I am a teacher and I incorporate sustainability content in my classes. I also develop teaching materials and do research.

I have participated in several citizen science projects and one of my concerns is the incorporation of citizen science projects in the curriculum at all educational levels.

As a marine biologist and ecologist, I am passionate about polar research, ocean sustainability and science communication. I enjoy engaging with local communities and demonstrating how sustainability can be straightforward and accessible, forming part of daily life. In my role as a leader within the Sustainable Ocean Alliance and APECS Portugal, I develop initiatives that bring together young people, researchers, and policymakers to encourage collaboration and promote climate literacy. 

I am an environmental scientist with more than 18 years of experience working on energy sustainability and
climate action at the Energy Agency of the province of Cadiz (Spain). The European Climate Pact gives me the opportunity to expand my daily work and make my message reach a wider audience. I will increase my efforts to raise awareness about climate change and encourage citizens and organisations to take climate action on the territory, with a special focus on local communities.

Ulrike Rabmer-Koller is CEO of Rabmer Group, an internationally operating company active in construction & environmental technology, providing innovative solutions for climate protection.

She initated the CleanTech Cluster & Energy Efficiency Network Upper Austria and the Sustainability Unit of Leitbetriebe Austria and is Chair of the SD Comitee of SMEunited.

I will work to engage citizens, younger people, local and national governments to take ambitious climate action by promoting and organizing activities on sustainable mobility, urban regeneration and food policies to reduce waste, Rome is holding this year the Presidency of U 20 and in that framework will work on those issues. 

Rome is working on a green recovery also from Covid-19 pandemic by creating new businesses and new opportunities from green economy.

I have been working in climate protection, climate change adaptation and transformation for 20 years. As a Pact Ambassador, I can demonstrate the many advantages of transformation at the local level. For me, the Climate Pact is an excellent framework for securing prosperity and economic strength in the EU in the face of global competition. Today, we have the opportunity to create a world of prosperity, peace, security, freedom and solidarity. We have the technology and the financial resources.

I am an educator and consultant in environmental technologies, with a Ph.D. in environmental sciences and an MBA. I lead Education for Sustainable Development at a vocational school and serve as the BNE district consultant in Neumünster.
