As a member of the Scientific Committee and adjunct lecturer for the MSc program "Digital Culture, Smart IoT Cities, and Advanced Digital Technologies" at the University of Piraeus, which holds the UNESCO chair "Creative Cities in Motion: Urban Sustainable Mobility and Utilization of Cultural Resources," and as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Western Macedonia, my goal is to promote the European Green Deal objectives among the younger generation. My professional journey, has encompassed substantial experience and contributions as an architect-conservator in both the Ministry of Culture and the private sector. Currently, I hold the position of Scientific Associate at the General Secretariat of Spatial Planning and Urban Environment within the Ministry of Environment and Energy, focusing on cultural heritage preservation, the New European Bauhaus initiative, and the EU Mission "100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030", passionately contributing to sustainable development in Greece.

I am an Urban Planner, certified GPM, and Landscape Architect with a MSc degree. I have strong organizational skills and a passion for creating sustainable spaces. My career goal is to help build a better spatial future for all of us. My personal mission is to inspire others with green content. I’m full of positive energy and ideas. Becoming a Climate Pact Ambassador is a true honor, and I am deeply committed to representing its values and inspiring others to take meaningful climate action.
 

I am the operations manager of an NGO working on childrens rights. I have a long engagment in the topics of sustainability, formerly more with social issues, but recently more and more in questions concerning the climate crisis, biodiversity and so on. My committment is present both in my private life, as a local politician, and in my professional role.

I am a 23-year-old changemaker whose climate engagement has traversed both entrepreneurial and research realms. As the CEO of WasteLocker, I spearheaded innovations in responsible waste management, deploying IoT technologies and fostering community engagement to significantly reduce waste across diverse sectors and regions.

Concurrently, at TalTech University of Technology, I took part in co-developing a tool that simulates and quantifies urban pollution, aiding in optimising sustainable urban planning by mitigating environmental impacts and promoting urban health.

These ventures collectively harmonise technology, community, and data-driven research to construct practical solutions, reducing environmental impacts and propelling sustainable practices in urban environments.

I’m a Polish ocean and environmental activist raised in the Middle East, now studying at Leiden University College in The Hague. My focus is on climate and ocean justice, working with organizations like Stop Ecocide International and the World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council. I advocate for the recognition of 'Ecocide' at the ICC and aim to promote climate justice on a global scale. As an Ambassador, I am committed to advancing environmental politics in Eastern Europe, starting with Poland.

I am a Public Governance Policy Analyst with an expanding focus on green policies. I believe the green transition should be inclusive, delivering benefits for all, and that supporting policies must be carefully and thoughtfully designed. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I am committed not only to raising awareness about climate change, sustainability, and the green transition but also to actively exploring solutions that help bridge knowledge and awareness gaps across different social groups.

I am an eco-educator and the Director of Strategy and Development at the TEREZA Educational Center, which specializes in educating teachers and children on sustainability and reducing their climate impact. I focus on gamifying climate education and developing action competencies in both children and adults. I believe that big changes start with small steps. Together with my team, I received the highest award in the SDGs Education category in the Czech Republic.

The key processes today are climate change and new technologies. As CEO of Code for Green, I introduced practical climate education in schools to empower youth to address local climate issues with technology. I led projects targeting schools to shift the attitudes of teachers, principals, and local governments, fostering a generation of young changemakers. I leverage this experience to integrate climate education into the Polish educational system effectively.

As sustainability researcher, I am at the forefront of what we know – and don’t know – about the climate and biodiversity crisis and want to communicate this in ways that enable educated decisions and effective action. We need to help people see the steps they can take towards a greener future.

One important, but often contentious issue is food. That’s why, as Climate Pact Ambassador, I’m focusing on presenting and discussing sustainable – and delicious – transformation pathways on our plates.

I am a Senior Sustainability Researcher at the University of Basel and General Manager of the Sustainable Future Research Network. My research focuses on sustainability transformations—especially energy, climate, mobility, governance and social innovation. As a Pact Ambassador, I aim to engage local communities, raise awareness on climate change mitigation and adaption, and inspire collective action toward more sustainable futures.

I am a social pedagogue and professor of social work, and for the past seven years I have been very interested in bringing sustainability, climate protection and social work closer together. A socio-ecological society needs active change agents to live democracy, climate protection and climate justice. In my work with students and young people, colleagues and practitioners, and leaders of social institutions, I try to raise awareness and increase willingness to participate changing societies.

With over a decade of expertise in social change and change management, I have built and led the Let's Do It World global network as President and Head of Global Network, now active in over 164 countries. Leading this network has provided me with profound insights into humanity, global activism, and leadership and enhanced my understanding of cultural diversity, goal-focused approaches, strategies for mobilization and empowerment, driving societal change and impactful models for lasting progress.

As Vice-Minister-President of the Flemish Government and Minister of internal affairs, integration and living in diversity, I want to do everything in my power to encourage ambitious climate actions. I believe in the tremendous potential and willpower of local governments to implement real solutions on the ground. That is why I took the initiative to create a new ecosystem of cooperation between local governments and the Flemish government. That became our Local Energy and Climate Pact, now signed by 293 out of our 300 local governments.

I'm an Environmental Studies MA student and a climate activist. As an active young person, I believe that empowering youth stands at the core of positive change. During my time as a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I intend to raise awareness on climate issues among children and young people, especially from rural communities. Through local climate games and interactive presentations, I aim at equipping students with tools and skills in order to become climate activists in their communities.

I am a Surveying Engineer and have worked on issues related to the climate transition for cities through urban Planning and especially the expansion green spaces. In my expierence, I have seen first hand the challenges in building a resilient environment. They that relate to society, culture and the actions and proposals that cannot be easily quantified or put into specific models. The impact of the climate crisis but also technological developments, urbanisation, globalisation, mass displacement of refugees and the great economic crisis affecting Europe and the planet in general, as well as various other factors, have shifted a focus to raising the awareness of more  people regarding the new realities they face and how to build resilience to it. I believe I can bring my experiences towards helping in this endeavour.

The changes taking place in the environment require common, synchronised action, which is why the activities of the university community to address the global challenge of mitigating climate change are so important. This most important current challenge requires that all activities, including those of the university community, be directed towards climate neutrality with a broadly collaborative approach.

As a journalist and ”greenfluencer”, communication is my number one tool to inspire climate action and change. I dedicate my time to raise awareness about the flaws and injustices of our current way of life and the advantages of a climate-friendly lifestyle, primarily through lectures, books, articles, blogposts, podcast episodes and posts in social media. The personal gains of having a climate-friendly lifestyle and living in a society within the planetary boundaries are often over-looked in politics, media and the current social debate, and we need more positive visions of what a transformed society could look like.

I am also the co-founder of a climate organisation, Klimatklubben (Climate Club), which helps citizens find easy (and fun!) ways to engage in climate action, sustainability work and system change on a regional as well as national level.

I work as Chief assistant professor at the National Center for Public Health and Analysis (NCPHA) of the Ministry of Health and author for Climateka.bg. I have a doctoral degree in "Climatology" obtained from the Sofia university "St. Kliment Ohridski". I have been dealing with the impact of climate change on human health since 2008, specialising many times abroad. I am also the scientific secretary of the Bulgarian Medical Geography Society, hub manager of the Climate KIC program for the NCPHA (2021-2023) and organiser of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change in Bulgaria. In 2023 I won the European Meteorological Society Journalistic Award, as well as second place in the "Economics" category at the Web report 2023 competition, as well as third place in the "Online Media" category at the National Competition for Green journalism in 2022.

I am a secondary school teacher and president of the "San Martino Cultural Center - Puglia Region", a cultural association in Taviano (Lecce). For the Climate Pact I will try to raise awareness among students, teachers and citizens by organizing activities, project for education on the sustainable development goals in Europe. I am planning to carry out european projects in order to promote climate and environmental issues, circular economy and inclusion of vulnerable people.

As president of the San Martino Cultural Center I was elected in the Forum for Open Government for the 2024/2027 mandate.
