Climate Pact Ambassadors

As a Climate Ambassador, I will promote our Green Deal goals locally and regionally working together with national as well as European levels. My aim is to increase dialogue with local authorities and citizens of my home city and region on how to best put our climate and environmental policy commitments into practice. Tampere has already taken many important steps towards circular economy and carbon neutrality, but more can be done. Good local practices can be linked better to European goals.

As a dedicated environmentalist and visionary leader, I have founded and led a successful non-profit organisation that spearheads innovative climate action initiatives globally. Through strategic community engagement and dynamic partnership-building, I have leveraged my expertise and network to achieve significant milestones in tackling climate change and protecting the environment. I am committed to advancing our climate action approach and collaborating with like-minded individuals and organisations to build a more sustainable future for our planet and future generations.

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.

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.

Soy voluntario ambiental con el claro convencimiento de que la mejor acción es el ejemplo. 

Vivo en Andalucía, una de las zonas de la UE donde mayor es el impacto del Cambio Climático. 

Lograr mantener los equilibrios naturales y conseguir que el progreso de las personas sea compatible con la biodiversidad es nuestro gran reto colectivo de los próximos años.

Para ello debemos sustentar nuestras acciones en la conciencia y en hábitos de compra y consumo responsables con todos.

I am an environmental volunteer with the clear conviction that the best action is by example.

I live in Andalusia, one of the areas of the EU where the impact of Climate Change is greatest.

Maintaining natural balances and ensuring that people's progress is compatible with biodiversity is our great collective challenge for the coming years.

To do this, we must support our actions in awareness and in responsible purchasing and consumption habits with everyone.

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. 

As the Founder of the Grant Compass Platform and Head of Advocacy at the World Disaster Center, I bring together hands-on experience and a passion for systemic change. Having facilitated climate workshops in six countries and cycled 6,000 km to raise climate awareness, my focus is now on democratizing access to climate action and building resilience. I work to ensure that funding and climate resilience tools reach all communities, regardless of their location or capacity.

As an ambassador, you can set an example that things are achieved step by step. Every action is important, no matter how small. Achieving a 60% reduction in municipal consumption in a municipality with only 334 inhabitants is a significant feat.

I believe I can raise awareness among the citizens and other municipalities as a success story in green policies and the fight against climate change.

Furthermore, the media visibility I have as the mayor of my town will allow me to reach a broader audience, both nationally and within the European Union.

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 live in Asturias, a privileged place that makes people aware of the need of their care and protection.

We need to know the worst problem we face as humanity, the climate change, and the best solutions we have to deal with it.

That's why I enjoy creating content and researching from a multidisciplinary perspective as an environmental scientist. It's time to act.

I am the dreamer of the Bird-Human cooperation system. I have been living and working in nature for more than a decade, so I was able to experience first-hand how much has changed around us in just a few years. And this change warns of many things - we must all hear its alarm bells. As an ambassador, my aim is to open the door of nature and to introduce as many people as possible to the dangers, big questions and proposed solutions of the roads ahead of us. I would like to introduce my followers to the world of the livable future, in which we not only discover the beauties of the world around us, but also do everything to ensure that these treasures remain with us for a long time. Whether it is nature, biodiversity, sustainable production, green solutions, responsible consumption or a change of attitude - I will be there to help!

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 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.
