Meie kliimasaadikud

I'm Attila from Budapest, Director of the Center for Systems Innovation (www.systemsinnovation.eu), Co-founder of PHYSI (www.physi.earth) and PhD at Central European University (www.ceu.edu). In the past decade I learned the limitations of ‘business as usual’ approaches to addressing systemic challenges, which solidified my commitment to work with change agents, encourage people to think critically, co-create, and look for creative solutions. Driven by a background in environmental engineering and economics, I focused my PhD on unlocking the transformative potential of nature in cities, worked globally from Canada to Singapore, taught at universities from Mongolia to Estonia, and met wonderful people along the way. My goal as an ambassador is to share my professional learnings and scale systems approaches to tackle fundamental sustainability challenges, forge partnerships, and build capacity - through CSI I will organize trainings for teachers, companies, and hackathons for students.

Senior Research Fellow at the Circular Economy Research Center (CERC), Circular Economy Specialist, and Project Manager supporting the twin (green and digital) transition by incorporating the circular economy concept and principles in education and businesses.

MBA in Innovation Management, MSc in Environmental Law and Sustainable Development, and Bachelor in Law. I am interested in developing collaboration and cooperation for knowledge transfer and replicating good practices in the twin (green and digital) transition.

I am passionate about raising awareness about climate change and climate action through sustainable development and circular economy enabled by policy and new technologies.

When thinking about the future, I find three things, which are crucial: climate, youth and sustainability.

During the last years I have organised a range of informative events for the representatives of local authorities devoted to climate and environment issues, as well as creative activities involving children and youth in order to introduce children (and at the same time their parents) and teachers with the climate issues.

We have to feel the nature in order to live in a sustainable way!

I have 30 years of experience in national and international schools. The opportunity to support the success of students is a privilege. At this precarious time for our planet, climate action is needed. Learning in, with, through and for nature features prominently in the learning journey in the best schools. Nature Based Learning inspires students to develop a deep connection with and affection for nature; this is the catalyst for them making a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship.

With extensive experience in promoting sustainability, I focus on creating engaging learning experiences and developing resources that highlight the importance of environmental stewardship. My goal is to inspire students to take responsibility for their actions and understand their role in shaping a sustainable future. I am also committed to collaborating with schools across Europe to exchange ideas and enhance our collective understanding of climate challenges. 

Education is key to supporting the transition to a more regenerative society, where climate action, climate justice, and the SDGs become key focus points. In my role as Head of the Atlantic Technological University's Centre for Sustainability and a Higher Education Authority National Policy Advisor on Education for Sustainable Development, I intend to nurture existing good practices and empower both students and staff to become change agents across the university sector and their communities.

European Climate Pact Ambassador representing the European Committee of the Regions in Greece

I am an educator and I studied BSc. Human and Environment: Psychology, Communication and Economics and I live in Berlin. I have combined my two areas of expertise and work freelance in environmental education, where I give workshops. There I would like to especially work with students who have little connection to nature in their urban everyday life. I am planning a big summer party on 30.06.24 at Ökowerk e.V. in Berlin with institutions of nature conservation and environmental education. The theme will be "ecological diversity". I would also like to organise science slams to reach more target groups. I would also like to do a panel with presentations on climate crisis, environmental psychology and environmental communication. I am very interested in networking across Europe and believe that education and information are key to a systemic transformation to meet the challenges of the climate crisis together and in solidarity.

I intend to support efforts being made to attain the climate goals of corporates and hence, jurisdictions in a way that all actions can be quantitatively measured and stakeholders will be legally bound by the statements they make of their climate efforts in the years to come. I will be doing the following in coming year:

1. Write at least two articles on mitigating the climate crisis

2. Attend minimum three events with a climate theme

3. Share above on social media as well as share at least five news article on climate change resolution strategies

4. Encourage people to use my company’s carbon footprint calculator, CTrackX, and offset their emissions through our platform, CNet0. Make efforts to ensure adoption of CNet0 by at least four corporate clients.

5. Target at least four corporates to use our climate software, DCarbonX, for trading of carbon credits.

I am the founder and project manager of Centre for Capacity Building & Empowerment in Sweden. I also work as project leader for youth & EU affairs for Malmö ideella in Sweden, and am an advisor to Alla lika värde and Active Youth Denmark.

With more than 10 years of experience in non-profit sector, I specialise in youth and refugee empowerment, migrant and refugee integration, interfaith conflict resolution, election observation, climate change and the Mediterranean. I have lead more than 30 projects as a Certified Trainer and youth exchange Facilitator of EU projects. I am certified in Conflict Resolution and Interfaith Conflict Analysis by United States Institute of Peace, Washington. I am also certified by OSCE in election observation & international election standards certification by Council of Europe.

I hold a M.A. in International Relations and a B.A. in International Migration and Ethnic Relations from Malmö University in Sweden. 

Out of all the industries that emit GHG, I plan to focus on supporting the carbon reduction efforts of corporations in the industries of plastic, fashion, food, and agriculture. In 2019, the Republic of Korea ranked 9th for high carbon emission and at 4th for the emission per capita. Each year, the Republic of Korea emits 679.7 million tons of GHG and is the 4th highest emitter of carbon within the OECD nations. Currently, the per capita consumption of plastic amounts to 460 plastic bags or 100 kilograms per year. The Republic of Korea, unfortunately, ranks in the top tier considering its population, which is why the Republic of Korea is more than eager in climate action and response.

I have a PhD in sustainable diets from University College Dublin (UCD) Ireland, and am vice chair of the European Health Parliament Sustainable Health Systems committee. My main motivation is to secure human and planetary health, and to ensure a just transition to healthy and sustainable diets. Empowering consumers through information and health literacy is an important motivation, and reducing the environmental impact of the hospitality and food service sector.

Climate action and the necessary green transition of our society is dependent upon education. I have been active in the field of education and youth for 15 years, 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. 

The EU Green Deal needs to be a participatory project changing the hearts and minds of EU citizens. As a EU Climate Pact ambassador and as an experienced consultant I want to support local players & micro-projects on the ground - with a focus on planetary health eco-agriculture and biodiversity - to connect with each other and with EU levels. As founder of a small ecological project combining yoga and permaculture I think that this connection between local levels and the EU level is crucial.

I am passionate about the circular economy, having founded the Institute of Circular Economy (INCIEN), which introduced and actively developed this concept in the Czech Republic. Through hundreds of seminars, research projects, consultancy work, and systemic changes via advocacy, I have helped shape the national agenda on sustainability. I co-founded several industry platforms and remain committed to driving circularity as a key pillar of the green transition.

Key part of my activities will be focused on further promoting awareness on the importance of climate issues for the future of human society. I plan to organize study visits and/or conferences on climate issues in my city and ensure appropriate media coverage of them. Intend to participate in international events on climate issues and booster promotion of best practices, experiences and practical solutions how to address the main challenges that majority of cities encounter in the field.

European Climate Pact Ambassador representing the European Committee of the Regions in Croatia

I work for  Polish Green Building Council PLGBC, carrying out PR and promotion tasks for ngo as Sustainable Communication & Partnership Manager. I organize the association's events, networking meetings, workshops. I have been an educator for many years. I am currently co-leading environmental workshops for children and young people. I think that reliable knowledge about sustainable transformation must be promoted in our institutions, workplaces and communities.

Over the past years, I have worked professionally with circular economy, sustainability, and climate leadership. During my own awareness journey, I quickly realized that the green transition is primarily about changing our behaviors and ways of thinking. I have had the opportunity to work with networks, companies, regions, and organizations that want to develop their sustainability journey and reduce their negative impacts. I think my most important task is to continue raising awareness.
