Climate Pact Ambassadors

I am a violinist, conductor, and composer based in Paris, passionate about integrating music, art, and climate action. At the same time, I am a musician of "Jeunes Talents" Association in France, one of the four selected members of "Personnalité Amie du Comité UNICEF Île-de-France”, an “Artist for The Amazon" of the Amazon Aid Foundation, among others. As part of my Master’s research at the Paris Conservatoire, I delve into interdisciplinary collaborations to inspire individual actions on environmental sustainability. As a Pact Ambassador, I will be organising a series of virtual and in-person events throughout the year, collaborating with artists from different domains. These events, starting in suburbs and disadvantaged communities in Île-de-France and expanding to an Eastern European tour, aim to reach diverse audiences, especially young people less familiar with climate challenges, to spur meaningful action.

My purpose in life is to facilitate a communication revolution for a healthier planet by providing international communication expertise, guidance and services, empowering clients, often from marginalised communities, and partners to communicate in an uncertain world in an incisive and professional manner. Climate Change affects all of us. We should all have climate change at the heart of our communications, so we can build a better tomorrow together, united in our diversity.

I co-founded the European Debate Initiative (EDI), which engages young citizens in EU policy debates. EDI won the European Citizen Prize in 2021. I also serve on the boards of New Europe and SAGA, working on democracy and youth engagement. As part of Denmark’s Team Europe Direct, I contribute to EU public debates. I’m currently pursuing a law degree and work at Denmark’s Ministry of Environment. My experience includes roles in the Danish Parliament, the Foreign Service, and various NGOs.

If you can’t measure it you can’t change it. In my ambassadorship, I focuse on bringing science into the sustainability talks. I advocate the use of science based measures like lifecycle assessments and system-thinking to drive zero-carbon transportation and production.

Through my background in sustainable territorial development and climate change, my mission is to support the transition towards diverse regenerative futures. I seek to spark collective action within youth networks and local communities across Europe and beyond.

As an ambassador, I will support activities to create alliances among multiple societal stakeholders such as community-led initiatives, activists, the youth and citizens to promote climate and social justice at the heart of the transition. 

Nurse, MSc in Public Health. Member of Scientific Unions and Associations. Member of the European Commission's Noise Expert Group and member of the BD of UECNA (Pan-European Citizens' Organization against Aircraft Nuisances).Councilor of the Municipal Community of the Municipality of Spata-Artemis. At level of Local Authorities, we must raise awareness of the environment and sustainable development. Public Administration must turn to green development in order to save resources energy and money.

As a marine ecologist, with a PhD in climate-driven impacts on coral reefs, I am dedicated to public dissemination of up-to-date information on climate science, adaptation and mitigation measures. As a researcher and climate science communicator, I firmly believe that community understanding of the overwhelming importance of the climate change issue is key to generating the public support needed for achieving the stated goals of the EU and other relevant bodies.

I am currently seeking inspiration and knowledge to strengthen my community's engagement in climate action. I would like to focus on creating regular opportunities for active participation and community-driven solutions. My previous experience with the EPAH project involved surveys, community consultations, and training sessions, where I noticed that, despite interest, it is not easy to engage families in disadvantaged situations.

I am a 27 years old researcher, climate action advocate from Turkey, and I want to share my research findings on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, climate laws, policies, and public awareness in Poland and Germany. Also, I want to use my skills to raise awareness about the climate emergency and its consequences, especially among people aged between 16 and 35 years old. My aim as a Climate Pact Ambassador is to draw attention particularly on the need for a systemic change and youth engagement in climate action.

Dr. Escribà-Gelonch is a flow chemistry researcher with expertise in the development and assess of sustainable processes, with a wide postdoctoral experience around Europe.

Hello, my name is Nef and I live in Blanca, a small town in Murcia, in Spain.

Why do I want to be a European ambassador for the Green Pact? Because I live in an environmentally privileged place and it is necessary to make the population aware of its care and protection.

Every small action helps in the care and protection of the environment, we can all do our bit to a greater or lesser extent.

I am working in Granada Energy Office, doing already all of these things because of my job, so I would continue developing my job, supporting Granada province municipalities to implement solutions to tackle climate change, but as well, I am open to increase this effort participating in other institutions events (as I usually do), promoting these ambassador initiative among other local stakeholders that I know that could be ambassadors as well.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). My research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of digital communication and social change, with a particular focus on environmental issues. I am also the coordinator of the climate disinformation section at “Learntocheck”, a non-profit media education project about disinformation and digital content verification. As an ambassador of the Climate Pact, I plan to counter climate disinformation by increasing the public's social media literacy. 

With a rich educational background, I bridge nutrition and climate action. I’ve led educational initiatives where I connected food choices with environmental impacts, inspiring audiences to adopt food sustainable practices. My extensive NGO experience includes crafting education plans and mobilizing communities, fueling my commitment to advancing sustainable food systems. I am committed to fostering collaboration and driving systemic change towards a healthier, climate-conscious Europe.

I am a local politician focusing on energy issues. While involved in completing the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) in Slovakia, my main work is with Friends of the Earth—CEPA, preparing a project to transform the heating system into a modern, carbon-free system that aligns with European carbon neutrality policies. As an Ambassador, I will promote sustainable energy solutions, minimize negative impacts on citizens, and address the challenges faced by municipalities and residents in Slovakia.

There is no solutios to climate change without the EU. I see my role as ambassador as that of capturing the attention and building citizens' understanding of the EU Green Deal and its success through people's ideas and participation. But my role is also to listen to citizens and let the EU know what they think and what they want in order to achieve together the ultimate goal: "A clean, sustainable and better world for us and future generations in an EU to be proud of".

I am a journalism student and part of the group Klima ťa potrebuje. Six of us organised an online petition, “For the climate”, that has so far collected more than 126,000 signatures, forcing the Slovak parliament to discuss the climate emergency at its next session. I am so proud of being the part of this group because it is a big movement in our country.

I was the principal negotiator on behalf of my country at the climate change conferences between 1991 and 2010 and represented Hungary at the related EU-meetings. Afterwards, I attended such meetings as NGO-representative (e.g. Paris COP, 2015). Such topics were part of my publications and books. I teach environmental topics and regularly make presentations on them at various meetings. 

I am an atmospheric physicist with a PhD in Environmental Sciences and a scientific communicator with experience as a keynote speaker, moderator and panelist in several national and international events. I currently work as an environmental journalist and I reported both COP28 and COP29 for italian news outlets. I am the president of Protect Our Winters Italy, an ngo that focuses on the protection of mountainous areas, and I am a former board member of CIPRA international.
