Climate Pact Ambassadors

I am a climate activist, environmental educator, and founder of COSMUS DIY. I lead projects and workshops on zero waste, sustainability, and creative reuse, engaging diverse communities, including refugees and women. Through Erasmus+ initiatives, local campaigns, and artistic projects, I aim to raise awareness, foster climate literacy, and promote inclusive, sustainable practices for all.

I am a senior researcher at the National Research Council (CNR-IMAA). I have a background in environmental engineering/energy systems analysis and modelling, a proven track record in the management and evaluation of national and European S&T projects and in supporting local authorities on sustainable and resource-efficient strategies. My current research activities mainly focus on climate planning, mitigation and adaptation strategies, energy transition pathways and smart cities.

Climate change poses significant threats to food production and safety. As a researcher, I focus on understanding plant-environment interactions and developing sustainable agricultural practices to ensure food security and address climate-related risks. Collaboration in an interdisciplinary setting is essential for tackling these challenges. As a university professor, I also work to raise student awareness of climate change by incorporating it into the curriculum.

I would describe myself as an European citizen who is aware of the climate crisis, and decided to take action in 2017. I have realised that everyone can make a difference and be part of the solution, no matter the personal background, knowledge or professional skills. I have also learnt that, for big challenges, it is better to join forces with others rather than walking alone. My strongest skill is communication, for this reason I believe I could play a role as Ambassador raising awareness, creating inspiration and sharing science-based knowledge. I live in Asturias, a region in which a fair transition to decarbonisation is essential due to its industrial heritage. The role of a Climate Pact ambassador could be essential here. I have also built a personal reputation regarding sustainability in my company, Bridgestone, which belongs to the mobility sector which will embrace important changes to achieve its ambitious decarbonisation targets.

I am the CEO of Lealtad Verde, a company I founded to provide technological solutions for the circular economy. I invented the Biorecicladoras, a reverse vending machine system now operating in over 20 countries. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I will leverage our strategic alliance with the Real Betis "Forever Green" platform to engage millions of sports fans in tangible climate action and expand our proven recycling model across the EU.

I work as a scientific outreacher, dietitian and food technologist.

I have been working since 2010 in blogospher, radio and TV.

During 2021 and 2022 I will be specially focused in diets which could fight climate change from different platforms:

1. My social accounts (FB, TW, IG and Youtube). Where I have more than 600k people as my audience
2. (@Midietacojea)
3. Radio and TV programms. I work in RNE and TVE (Radio-Televisión Española)
4. My last book. "Your diet could save the planet".

I am an economist with knowledge in One Health, Director of Environmental Programs at LISA Institute, and member of IUCN Commissions. With expertise in corporate sustainability, conservation, environmental crime prevention, law enforcement, and animal welfare, I believe the climate crisis transcends politics and borders. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I will foster collective action through education, workshops, and media outreach, globally.

Growing up in Seine-Saint-Denis shaped my commitment to inclusive climate action. As General Secretary of Jeunes Ambassadeurs pour le Climat, I bridge grassroots initiatives with international climate diplomacy. I deliver climate workshops to high school students while developing accessible content to demystify UN climate negotiations for French youth. Through eco-mediator programs in my suburb, I demonstrate that effective climate action must amplify voices from underserved.

I have been communicating my principles regarding climate protection to my environment for several years now, within the framework of this I regularly pick up trash, I have coordinated the construction of an insect hotel within the framework of a school collaboration, we have planted houseplants in several classrooms for greening. I have conducted attitude-forming conversations within the framework of non-formal education.

European Climate Pact Ambassador and founder of Company Project, I develop concrete and scalable solutions in the fields of the circular economy, recycling, and material recovery. My commitment lies at the crossroads of industrial innovation, environmental impact, and a just transition, with a results-driven, action-oriented approach.

I work in particular on structuring projects focused on rigid plastics recycling, waste reduction, the development of local value chains, and cooperation with European partners. I also contribute to raising awareness and mobilising public and private stakeholders by representing the Pact during events and strategic meetings.

My goal is to support a pragmatic, inclusive, and measurable ecological transition, capable of creating long-term economic value while reducing environmental impact.

I am a passionate climate advocate with extensive involvement in human rights and sustainable development initiatives. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I am committed to promoting sustainability and environmental awareness. Through collaborative workshops and digital campaigns, I aim to reach marginalised communities, emphasising the importance of a green transition. My objective is to bridge the gap between knowledge and action, ensuring everyone is informed and empowered to make climate-conscious choices.

I am a student at the European School in Luxembourg. For many years now, I have been in charge of speaking at climate events organized by our school to raise awareness of my fellow students on environmental issues. My goal is to help people of my age understand the challenges our planet is facing and show that there are simple things we can all do to make a difference. I really want to encourage everyone to be more conscious about the future and act in a way that protects our planet. 

I am a 33-year-old biologist, PhD student in Climate Change in Portugal, and founder of MudaTuga, leading the Composting Ninjas movement. Recognized as 1 of 9 fighting climate change by the World Economic Forum’s UpLink 2022 I focus on biowaste circular management and sustainability education. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I commit to organizing community workshops, street conferences, and educational outreach to simplify climate issues and promote composting across all age groups.

My mission is to support people and organisations in their sustainability evolutions through interactive learning experiences. In 2021 I founded “Resilient Planet”, a green skills training centre in Greece. We promote tailor-made programmes on sustainability literacy and climate engagement strategies to stimulate commitment and bring about change across large organisations that need to engage their stakeholders. The most effective ways of creating impact by 'thinking global and acting local' is achieved through intentionality and working together — collaboration and community play key roles.  To achieve my climate action commitments and maximise impact beyond the corporate world, I launched two Communities of Practice: 1. “Climate Fresk Greece”, a community of Climate Facilitators in Greece and Cyprus. 2. “Doughnut Economics Greece Network”, a community thats explores the “Doughnut Economics” framework and acts as a bridge between decision-makers, changemakers and citizens wanting to create change.

I am an organizational psychologist, environmental advocate, and president of Cittadini Sostenibili APS, an environmental organization in Liguria, Italy. I promote sustainable practices such as reducing red meat consumption and banning fossil fuel advertisements. As a member of the University of Genoa’s Sustainability Commission, I foster eco-friendly initiatives. Through workshops and local campaigns, I engage youth and citizens in climate action, striving to make sustainability a shared value. 

My name is Diana, I am a nature enthusiast deeply passionate about imagining and co-creating a sustainable future. I hope for all of us to connect with nature, recognize our impact, and take meaningful steps toward positive change. Together, we can build a world where care for the planet is woven into every aspect of our life.

I am industrial engineer with a PhD in energy transition, professor at the University (currently on a leave) and always active in trying to decarbonise our environment. I have been working in renewable energies for 30 years. Currently I am the ViceMinister for Ecological Transition, Climate Change and Energy of the Regional Government of the Canary Islands. Always trying to engage myself and the people in a more sustainable way of living and trying to improve the world I live in. 

I am a passionate geographer with 13 years of experience in urban mobility. For the past year, I've been responsible for anchoring climate action within the Salzburg city administration. My experience has taught me that sustainable change is only achievable through collective effort. I strive to expand my influence by mobilizing local stakeholders, initiating diverse actions and dialogues, and making Salzburg’s climate initiatives visible across Europe to inspire collective engagement.

Two years ago, I began working on climate action locally, inspired by the enthusiasm around me. Today, with many issues competing for attention, I’m more determined than ever to bring climate action back to the forefront. My goal is to foster local engagement, celebrating small but impactful successes together. As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I’m organizing events to showcase practical solutions, encouraging a proactive and positive approach to climate action in our communities.
