Climate Pact Ambassadors

From the bustling streets of Paris and London to the dynamic landscapes of Dubai, I have been an advocate for climate action, particularly within the sphere of the automobile industry's energy transition. My passion for the planet and sustainable design began early on, leading me to pursue studies in architecture at University of Westminster. During my academic pursuits, I did not confine my vision to blueprints and building models. Instead, I ventured into the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicles. Collaborating with innovative teams in the Middle East, I played a pivotal role as a designer in the development of electric charger points for EVs. These designs were not just functional; they embodied a vision of a future where clean energy and urban aesthetics converge. While my roots are firmly planted in architectural design, my heart beats for a world that transitions to cleaner, sustainable energy options. 

I am a person who has a vision to change how companies market themselves. I believe in de-growth marketing and sustainable communication tools, which are strategies that aim to reduce the environmental and social impact of marketing activities. I want to help businesses create value for their customers and society, without relying on excessive consumption or exploitation. 

Since 2019 I conduct investigations into the negative consequence of climate anxiety in young adults. These consequences have an impact on the mental health of individuals that perceived themselves and their community as unable to purpose effective behavior to mitigate climate change. The scientific literature on this issue suggested that the perception of self and community efficacy could lead to adopting pro-environmental behavior. I would study this phenomenon and spread information about it.

As an Ambassador, I am committed to promoting sustainable practices and innovative solutions in project management. My planned activities include leading community initiatives to reduce carbon footprints by organizing workshops on ISO standards, such as ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 50001 for energy efficiency. By raising awareness and educating the community on these standards, I aim to inspire positive environmental change and foster a more sustainable future.

We have not only a political but also a moral obligation to implement environmentally friendly policies. The challenge of climate change is not just a problem we have to deal with but at the same time an opportunity for sustainable, green growth.The Region of Thessaly is leading in this effort and is a region with a deep green environmental footprint. 

I am a strong-willed advocate for the environment, a planet and people person. As European Climate Pact Ambassador, my challenge is to make people understand that, together, we can make a difference and protect our future. Raising awareness of climate change, impacts and solutions, through school workshops, conferences and gatherings with sustainability-focused companies, will be one of my top priorities.

As a person that grew up with a comfort of a modern life’s pleasures, it took it’s time until I’ll make myself aware at what cost it is coming. Indeed, it made me first sad and sorrow. Thinking the ways to overcome them brought me to world where science on hands with ecology and universe presents us a smart way of existence. The world where we one step forward in understanding our planet better and cooperating with it smarter.

I am a climate enthusiast, policy wonk and teacher, keen to untangle the complexity of climate change and sustainable finance by engaging in acts of awareness raising with the youth. I have a wide experience on climate change and climate finance in both the multilateral, supranational and private sector, and have been leading the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers in Brussels, a network of inspiring young people under the age of 30 working together to address local, regional, and global challenges in their region. 

I am a dedicated climate and social justice activist, serving as President of the Diaspora Solidarity Group. I aim to create transformative initiatives in Romania and beyond that empower marginalized communities, especially women and refugees. Through engaging workshops and inspiring campaigns, I will highlight their unique challenges in climate resilience. Together, we can champion inclusive climate solutions that uplift local voices and foster a sustainable future for all.

I am one of the co-founders and member of the Implementation Team of Women in Energy – Mulheres na Energia Portugal, and a member of the UNDP External Advisory Group for Energy Governance. Since March 2023, I have been a member of the World Energy Council's Global Future Energy Leaders Programme.

A lawyer by trade, I am currently Vice-Chair of the Distribution Committee at Eurogas and EU Affairs Manager at Floene Energias S.A. (Floene), the leading gas distribution group in Portugal.  In June 2023 I was invited to be one of the 30 European Young Energy Ambassadors as a representative of Portugal. I am part of several initiatives and associations and in my activity as ambassador, I will continue sharing information and raising awareness about the European Green Deal, energy transition, and paths to achieve climate neutrality. 

As a climate justice expert, educator and activist, I am eager to take on the role of Ambassador for the European Climate Pact. With over a decade of expertise in climate justice, I plan to engage with the Pact Community by actively participating in online groups and by sharing the Pact's vital messages and campaigns through various communication channels, including social media, also promoting opportunities for others to become Pact Ambassadors. I will leverage my expertise by writing articles, giving presentations, and creating knowledge materials to facilitate workshops in universities and schools, thereby empowering the younger generation to take meaningful climate action. Moreover, as an activist at heart, I am committed to organising and participating in events that have visible connections with the Climate Pact, ensuring that their actions align closely with the objectives of the Pact, and inspire others to join the climate action movement. 

I will organise the implementation of IT and digital tools in order to communicate on new developments and issues related to environmental issues. I will be responsible for organising face-to-face events intended to promote greentech companies to an uninformed public.

I am a project manager in the field of EU-funded projects targeting sustainability and climate change mitigation. I also pursue a Ph.D. in sustainability and resilience along the food supply chain. I strongly believe that everyone's impact counts, both negatively and positively. For this reason, it is paramount to do all we can to curb Climate Change, the challenge of our century. In light of this, my mission is to raise awareness among people about what they can do to save our planet.

As an Ambassador, I will focus on promoting sustainable development in line with EU goals. This includes establishing the GSTC certification system for tourism, supporting sustainable agriculture with climate resilience tools, leading reforestation efforts in desertified areas, raising climate awareness through educational programs, and advancing sustainable mobility with improved infrastructure and eco-friendly solutions. My work aims to create regional sustainability models.

I am a passionate climate advocate with experience in policy development and community engagement. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to organize a European Youth Event in Greece focused on climate action and sustainability discussions for young people. Additionally, I will launch a local climate awareness campaign on social media and conduct workshops in schools to engage students. I hope to inspire a sense of responsibility toward the environment and promote sustainable practices.

I am a climate activist dedicated to working with communities. It is essential for everyone to understand the critical challenges we face regarding climate change and to take collective action. I believe that by fostering a sense of community and collaboration, we can move towards a future that emphasizes unity over individuality. Together, we can address these urgent issues and create sustainable solutions that benefit all. My goal is to empower individuals to engage actively in this vital mission.

I'm planning to use my passion and knowledge of sustainability to engage and inspire others; to use my network to connect and empower others for sustainability and to use my position to drive cultural change and develop technical solutions.

In Liepāja city I have worked with environmental and climate issues already for years. Liepāja city has joined the Covenant of Mayors in 2012 and I am acting as the Committee of Regions' Covenant of Mayors Ambassador. The first thing we did to fight climate change was to improve the heat supply system. We are working for the residents to have convenient public transport and safe movement with bicycles. As the Ambassador I would like to reach out more to local inhabitants schools on the topics of environment.
