As EAERE president-elect, EIT Climate KIC HUB director, UN SDSN Europe co-chair, I will act as an ambassador for the Climate Pact and advocate for active participation of "all parts of society" - researchers, innovators and technology developers, enterprises, workers, consumers and citizens and their organizations- for mobilizing the transition to climate neutrality and the implementation of the EGD and the UN SDGs.

As a lecturer at the University of Primorska, I am deeply committed to embedding the principles of climate protection into both my academic teaching and community involvement. Through my work at the university and my collaborations with local organizations, I strive to educate, advocate, and act for sustainable development in our community. I believe that climate action is intrinsically tied to human rights, and it is this perspective that I aim to share as an EU Climate Pact Ambassador.

My background in chemical engineering, environmental science, innovations, community organizing and education has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively promote climate actions. Also as a lifelong climate activist, speaker, moderator and climate solution innovator, I have been deeply committed to environmental causes. Also,I am a dedicated UN volunteer focused on climate change solutions holding multiple certifications as a climate professional.

I am an economist, international tourism and sustainability expert, blogger, podcaster and member of the Global Sustainability Tourism Council. My activities are primarily focused on projects that encourage the tourism of the future and the construction of a sustainable tourism sector. The focus of my consulting activity is on sustainable initiatives and projects in the Danube area. Committed to climate protection, I am also a signatory of the UN Glasgow Declaration in Climate Action.

I, Emilie Kovacs, as an impact journalist,stand before you today to take on the role of an active ambassador for the Climate Pact. I believe that we all have a responsibility to engage with the pressing issues of climate change and sustainable development. Let us work together to foster a culture of sustainability, where every action counts, and every voice matters. Thank you for joining me on this journey toward a brighter, more sustainable future !

I believe that food is tied to many aspects of life. Food is a political act and a solid social institution. Food is a cultural matter after all. I would like to write a new narrative about the way we eat because it affects our roots, our ground, and our future.  

Hey, My name is Veronika Kralova and I'm from the Czech Republic. I study at the Faculty of Law in Prague and I work at the Academy of Sciences at the Centre for Climate Law and Sustainability. I'm one of the founders of Mater Nostra, a University association that focuses on the climate crisis as well as feminism and LGBTQ+ rights.

As an ambassador, I will be spreading awareness about the climate crisis by organizing events and creating workshops. Moreover, I will be educating myself by attending workshops and lectures organised by the Climate Pact.

As a local council member and climate advocate, I work with local governments to promote sustainable policies and foster community climate awareness. I engage with students in schools, organize public lectures, and build regional connections to bridge diverse perspectives on climate. Currently pursuing an MSc in Sustainability Science, I’m passionate about the dynamic links between society and the environment, striving to inspire sustainable practices through inclusive and impactful initiatives.

I act as a vice-rector for International Cooperation at Bialystok University of Technology and a Head of Department of Sustainable Construction and Building Systems. I focus on international and interdisciplinary projects related to sustainable development of the building and energy sectors, green infrastructure and continuous changes in cities. I am actively engaged in actions addressed at the young generations in solution areas helpful in the fight against climate change. I plan future projects and publications in this area as well as organisation of and participation in various events, including conferences, workshops and discussion panels that create platforms that are indispensable for sharing information, experiences and the creation new ideas. I believe that working together in an interdisciplinary and international environment, we will achieve our intended goals.

As a former youth politician, architect, philosopher, and most recently professor of Life and Society, I have a wide range of academic, political, scientific and professional experiences and knowledge on the topics of sustainable development. I pursue an inter- and multidisciplinary approach that is driven by the passion to analyse and understand complex topics and design meaningful solutions to these challenges. I was also chairman of numerous associations and initiatives, a member of many national and international high state councils, and a Luxembourg representative at numerous political and academic conferences.

My planned activities as a climate ambassador, in addition to cooperative and international exchange with other ambassadors, are lobbying and raising awareness for social and political sustainability concepts and the development of information and motivation strategies for necessary, sustainable transformation processes.

Climate change is a challenge and a chance at the same time. I strongly believe that a better world is possible and everyone need to take action. This is the reason why I want to spread awareness, and interact with people all around the globe.

I am particularly interested in sustainable development, circular economy, and cradle to cradle.

I have been working on sustainable energy and climate for more than 20 years. As Director of the Energy and Climate Agency, I advise and plan actions to help people make the green transformation. Being an operational person, I took up the challenge of becoming Mayor of the municipality six years ago.  Municipalities are making the green transition happen. I integrate climate change mitigation and adaptation into every municipal project. My goal is respect for people and nature.

I am the Nordic Sustainability Director at Hans Just Group with over a decade of experience driving systemic climate action across fashion, wine, and retail. I have led efforts to foster joint action through ecosystem dialogue and expanded the pre-competitive space to drive collaboration for sustainability. As an ambassador, I aim to inspire businesses, policymakers, and future leaders to prioritize climate action and biodiversity restoration through events, education, and public speaking.

I am a teacher, promoter of international projects in my school in Sicily, recognised as an Ambassador by the EP, and I am the senior Ambassador for coordinating the programme. I am also the contact person for Erasmus projects for AN Indire and I have carried out 15 Erasmus projects of which three have just been approved on the environment topic, with 3 partnerships in 18 schools from various European countries. I love the environment and nature is the main focus of my personal life and as an educator. 

I am journalist by profession. After 10 years experience in reporting on environmental topics, I changed my career to the non-governmental sector and became the project manager of aclimate awareness raising project, based on gamification methods. It was a job I felt very passionate about, because in my daily life I try to  minimise my personal impact on the climate: I live without a car or driving license, I refuse to fly (for international travels, I take trains), my diet is vegetarian and I am a passionate clothes and things swapper. I am really pleased to join others who also fight for a greener, more natural environment and see what we can do together. 

I currently work at Transition Minett a.s.b.l. (https://www.transition-minett.lu/) as facilitator for people's engagement and participation in the social and ecological transition in the Minett region (south of Luxembourg). I am motivated to learn more about the Climate Pact and its implications for local stakeholders, to apply its tools and knowledge to help local stakeholders apply appropriate frameworks in there own projects for transition. As a Climate Ambassador, I will support the development of community gardening activities in the area where I work. I will also support the development of new initiatives of local communities for transition (for example a project of a community house for sustainability in a local neighbourhood). I will share my experiences as a Climate Pact ambassador with my colleagues at Transition Minett and with all the local groups I support.

I am a political activist and the youngest MP in Estonia. Environment and nature have been close to my heart all my life. I am convinced that solving and mitigating the climate crisis starts with policy. We need more political courage in this world to drive change!

In my role as a Climate Pact Ambassador, I wish to bring a focus on climate education and climate policy in order that, especially young people gain more awareness on how policy can shape the future.

I clearly see the polarisation between climate activists and politicians. For this I am dedicated to building a bridge so we can finally start to work together as one and not oppose to each other.

Endless economic growth, treating nature just as a resource, and living at the expense of future generations cannot continue – every year we set a new record of pushing the planetary boundaries. I stand for an ambitious and internationally enforceable climate policy, ensuring a sustainable life for present and future generations. 

Elena Lai drives the leading European association for textile services companies and national textile services associations towards building a safer and greener Europe. At Etsa, our rental companies and national associations dealing with industrial cleaning use circular economy systems where we optimize resource and energy efficiency with great respect for the environment and sustainability.

Building better international railway connections in my day job for an EU project, I am a committed activist, dedicated to promoting climate action in the European Liberal family, where I am bridging the gap between politics and activism. My true passion is climate education amongst all generations (where older ones are those harder to reach), which I am pursuing by designing and running NFE workshops on climate action in settings such as schools, student groups or conferences across Europe.
