I am an Engineer (Meng) and since 2017 that my studies started, I have been involved in the professional, research and volunteering level with issues of sustainability, circular economy and green innovation. New initiatives that foster green social change are my virtue, while I strongly believe that each engineer should be devoted to anthropocentric design and planning, driven by sustainability and available scientific knowledge. 

I have been in the B Corp Movement since its Nordic birth. First at B Lab Nordics as Head of Growth and now as Partner in the change agency, Märk. I have helped more than 100 companies become B Corp, helped more than +150 companies work with their B Impact Assessment and trained almost 200 B Leaders, resulting in me getting the award as Sustainable Leader SMEs at the SDG Tech Awards in December ‘22. 

I am the head of legal support at the National Film Institute Hungary and also a certified sustainability manager. My colleagues and I started the green film project two years ago, and I actively contribute to raising awareness of sustainable film production.

I'm dedicated to climate action through education and advocacy. Currently, I work at the Center of Teaching & Learning at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I am also the author of two books: one focusing on the SDGs and another children's book addressing climate change. As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I plan to engage young children in understanding sustainable practices in their daily lives through interactive activities that promote environmental awareness.

Rethinking about how to inspire citizens and how to build bridges between the EU communities is the key challenge to raise awareness. Being an Environmental Engineer with MSc & PhD studies in Greece, Canada & UK, I strongly believe that it is our duty to disseminate scientific data in a comprehensive way to engage EU citizens to take actions through good practices. Changing our philosophy is urgent and can be done only through holistic action, in EU rural & urban areas.

I am a PhD-trained materials scientist, sustainability expert, and youth leader, deeply passionate about driving sustainable innovation and empowering young people to take action. With deep dives into the worlds of startups, industry, and NGOs, I have gained profound insights into the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a more sustainable future. Currently I am engaging in the innovation arena in Europe to foster creative, forward-thinking solutions to shape a desirable future.

As a scientific consultant in Cave Geology and Paleoclimate at the Cave of Lakes (Achaea, Greece) and its newly-established “Environmental Center”, I will raise awareness regarding the current climate change based on the 'speleothems' book. Speleothems, the crystalline formations everyone admires in caves - among them the well-known stalactites and stalagmites - record with an exceptional resolution the global climate change during the period of their formation. They represent a compact history book for the global climate which is full of climate change lessons and examples.

I am a theatre artist who is passionate about climate justice, active in campaigns from a young age. By combining my two passions I created the performance Acres of Longing which explores displacement due to coal mining and the connection between people and nature. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to raise awareness and inspire people to envision a clean and just future, by using art as my main tool. I intend to organise workshops, discussions, interactive and immersive evеnts.

I am an ecologist with a doctorate degree and an educationalist with a master's degree, who has combined the basic knowledge of ecology with educating people. I believe that we can bring about the most lasting change in society through better education, that is, the ability to think in complex systems and guide our behavior according to our knowledge.

It is very important that we do everything we can to protect our environment at the local level, in our own environment. In addition, existing good practices at the municipal level need to be disseminated in order to develop a wide-ranging and effective approach.

As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I am dedicated to:

1. Fostering an Active Community: Empowering youth and creative communities through Web3 technology to actively support urgent climate action.
2. Mobilizing Resources: Seeking opportunities to support impactful projects and programs addressing climate change challenges.
3. Active Participation in COP28 and Beyond: Contributing insights, perspectives, and expertise to shape effective climate policies and agreements at international conferences.

Through these responsibilities, I aim to make a meaningful impact as a European Climate Pact Ambassador, leading by example in climate action and environmental protection.

I am a graduate of the University of Silesia and the Silesian University of Technology with a degree in environmental protection, and have worked in local government dealing with ecological issues since the beginning of my career. Professionally and privately, I look at where we are going and what we can change for a better life - how to use the resources of the planet with the least possible side effect of its degradation. Since January 2024 I have been working as an Eco-advisor, running social media and being active locally.

I work as a freelancer & I am a business expert in sustainable urban development (1992 – onwards). I am cofounder of Just Transition Institute Greece. JTIG is a non-profit civil partnership with the main goal of implementing scientific activities in support of the effort of the affected areas to the developmental transformation during the period of lignite phase out. My Vision is to Assist & support institutions, companies, employees, unemployed and all citizens in the EU Just Transition areas.

My main goal as a European Climate Pact Ambassador is to raise awareness among citizens about climate and green actions, in order to gain green consciousness and achieve the ultimate goal of climate neutrality. Through interactive events and extroversion, which will be achieved by networking between stakeholders and citizens, there will exchange good practices and know-how on how to build a green and sustainable future for all, realising the benefits that will arise from it. Because the future belongs to young people, their involvement in programmes related to environmental protection and climate neutrality will familiarise them with green development. 

I am an LL.M. candidate in Law and Sustainability at Utrecht University, focusing on environmental law and climate change. With experience as a lawyer in Greece, I volunteer for Groentetas, a nonprofit promoting sustainable food, and I am a founding member of Heraklion’s Trainee & Young Lawyers Association. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I’ll lead a Crete beach cleanup with educational talks, publish climate articles, and organize a vegan cooking event to engage students in sustainable practices.

I have been volunteering for a local NGO in Budapest, Hungary since 2019 and I became a driving force in organising events  such as habitat maintenance (in coordination with local authorities and experts), garbage collection, placement and maintenance of birdhouses, educational sessions, etc. 

I am very passionate about climate communication. I am active as a member of a sustainability podcast and am also organizing a lecture and workshops at my university on how to communicate effectively about the climate crisis and equip students with tools on how to engage people in climate action. I want to raise awareness on all the different ways, one can get active in tackling the climate crisis. I want to empower people and bring them together to be able to work on this challenge together. 

I sincerely care about the future of our planet and wish for us to safeguard it for future generations. Even small steps today can help to minimise our personal impacts on climate. We can not afford to leave it for tomorrow. As is well-known that "There is No Planet B" and we need to recognise that not all human-caused impacts can be repaired. 

As Executive Director of Climate Alliance Austria I lead and coordinate research and implementation projects on a national and EU level. In our network, there are 1100 Austrian towns and cities, 950 educational institutions and 1800 SMEs. As Climate Pact Ambassador I will promote the Pact, the EU Green Deal and its goals among our members, show how they can benefit and use support in their climate actions with citizens, pupils, parents, teachers, CEOs and employees.
