Climate Pact Ambassadors

As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to bring and simplify the topics of climate policies, renewable energy, and green modernization into schools, drawing on my experience in energy and climate program management, awareness-rising project implementation on effective waste management and environmental protection, development work focused on climate-resilient WASH. Through workshops, local partnerships, and lectures, I plan to advocate, inspire and educate those who represent our future.

I am a biodiversity expert and a nature educator dedicated to promoting climate and sustainability education through creative learning tools and workshops. I develop board games and workshops that help teachers and students explore topics such as biodiversity loss and climate change. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to strengthen climate education in schools and inspire wider community engagement.

My work will focus on advocating the vulnerable people, groups and communities about climate change in the context of Human Rights. Encourage, support and inspire active participation, collaboration and synergies for joint initiatives and actions. Promoting social dialogue and engaging civil society. Disseminate knowledge, information and good practices so that any efforts on fighting climate change can be perceived as commonplace and become an everyday-life attitude.

I am a climate activist, physicist, and energy engineer with a strong focus on sustainable transport. I have significant experience working on low-carbon energy solutions and have a good understanding of how we can reduce emissions in the transport sector. I am really passionate about getting people excited about cleaner, more sustainable ways to get around. I would love to bring my experience to events and projects that raise awareness and inspire others to embrace greener transport options.

My first priority is to build bridges between the European Climate Pact and global multi-stakeholder climate action efforts in the context of the United Nations system (link to a UN event that I have organized in June 2020 http://webtv.un.org/watch/un75-webinar-all-of-society-digital-cooperation-for-global-goals-climate-action/6168132430001).

My second priority is to connect digital innovation solution providers with the climate action community to develop concrete climate action apps & tools.

At the moment I am a student in the final year of highschool that is truly interested in International Relations. More specifically, starting with volunteering and becoming really passionate about the change the young generation can make if correctly informed, I have begun to find solutions and to understand diplomacy. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I see two main goals that have to be achieved: growing more local communities throughout the country and unite them on a greater movement.

Climate action is dependent upon education. I have been active in this field, and have initiated and coordinated a wide range of activities aiming at raising awareness and comprehension on how people can effect change. More people need to experience and learn about the significance of conservation, the value of a sustainable future, and the need to make responsible decisions. Environmental education must be promoted in our libraries, which are suitable spaces for lifelong learning.

I am a legal professional and active volunteer passionate about and commited to climate, human rights, and social inclusion. I aim to empower students in vulnerable schools through interactive workshops, educational guides, and outreach via articles and social media. I want to help young people understand climate and biodiversity challenges and take concrete, practical action in their communities.

I am a third-year Psychology Bachelor student at the University of Tartu with four years of experience as a food rescuer. I organize Public Honest Food Sharings for city residents and students, building a strong food rescue community, raising awareness about food waste, and promoting sustainable consumption. I give lectures and short talks on food waste and environmental topics, create social media content combining scientific and experiential knowledge from psychology and food rescue.

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.
