My main goal is to help people understand that we must protect the environment. But that there are proven ways of doing this that allow us to maintain or even improve our way of living. I try to engage the young engineers I educate  on the environmental elements of their work, helping them to understand that we are only borrowing our planet from our children and future generations, and thus we must leave them a better environment to that which we found.

To mitigate a climate emergency, we must urgently tackle transport which - while not the largest polluter - is the only sector with a growing carbon footprint in the EU. Electric vehicles (EVs), along with public transport and active mobility, will help us get there.

But EVs are still not widely used or available today due to the high upfront cost and the lack of charging infrastructure. Also, if all vehicles were replaced by EVs today, the energy grids couldn't cope with the extra electricity demand. 

Smart EV charging can help overcome these current challenges and tackle future ones, e.g. through:

• balanced management of charging and energy distribution when multiple vehicles charge at the same time; 

• better management of the grid usage, capacity and costs associated with energy use at different times of the day; or

• integration of renewable energy sources for charging of vehicles.

I represent EVBox which has pioneered smart EV charging solutions since 2010. In my role as Director Policy Europe, I pledge to continue engaging constructively with the EV ecosystem, civil society and decision-makers to accelerate the adoption of e-mobility as part of a multimodal transport system to enable a zero-emission future.

I am a behavioral biologist and climate coordinator for Gmunden, thus encouraging climate actions is of great importance to me. As I have coordinated citizen science projects in the past, I intend to bridge the gap between science and the public to raise awareness and actively involve the community and consequently reduce fake news. Together with the Vice Mayor of Gmunden, I am organizing the Gmunden Climate Award, which is intended to honor stakeholders and their special achievements.

I work as Sustainability Manager at Audiovisual Producers Finland APFI, guiding the Finnish film and TV industry towards sustainability, from practical operations and policies to stories on screen. Since the early 2010s, I've worked as a freelance TV professional and have been one of the pioneers in raising environmental awareness in the industry. I'm the co-author of Finland’s 1st sustainability guidebook Ekosetti (2019). I hold a BA in Media & Arts (2012) and a BSc in Natural Resources (2020).

I am the Chief Sustainability Officer in UNEP/GRID-Warsaw responsible for initiatives and business transformation in the fields of ecosystems restoration, climate adaptation, waste management, building strategies and policies as well as transforming processes along the whole value chain. I am part of YOUNGO, Climate Ambassador in Max Thabiso Edkins Programme of GYCN and World Bank. I am an executive and board advisor and coach in the field of value chain and business transformation as well as geopolitical aspects and climate adaptation. I am the former coordinator of the biggest Polish climate related programme - Climate Leadership. 

It seems to me a necessary project and I hope it continues to grow. I am a teacher and I incorporate sustainability content in my classes. I also develop teaching materials and do research.

I have participated in several citizen science projects and one of my concerns is the incorporation of citizen science projects in the curriculum at all educational levels.

She initated the CleanTech Cluster & Energy Efficiency Network Upper Austria and the Sustainability Unit of Leitbetriebe Austria and is Chair of the SD Comitee of SMEunited.

I will work to engage citizens, younger people, local and national governments to take ambitious climate action by promoting and organizing activities on sustainable mobility, urban regeneration and food policies to reduce waste, Rome is holding this year the Presidency of U 20 and in that framework will work on those issues. 

Rome is working on a green recovery also from Covid-19 pandemic by creating new businesses and new opportunities from green economy.

I am an educator and consultant in environmental technologies, with a Ph.D. in environmental sciences and an MBA. I lead Education for Sustainable Development at a vocational school and serve as the BNE district consultant in Neumünster. As an Ambassador, I will organize the "Change School Summit" to integrate SDGs into curricula and develop educational materials on resource preservation, focusing on nitrogen and phosphorus. I work with schools in Kenya and Pakistan to enhance SD-Education.

I will help educate people about climate change and promote sustainable living.

I am an experienced (Green) Marketing Manager, Project Manager and Change Manager with a passion for implementing innovations and promoting sustainable development. My mission is to implement the principles of Green Management and Sustainable Development within business, based on the circular economy model.

My skills are based on extensive experience in interdisciplinary project management, change management and the use of agile methodologies in various industries. I am a certified Project Manager (Agile Framework), which allows me to effectively adapt to dynamically changing conditions. My "green path" began with my recovery from a very serious illness. What I leave behind will be alive and green.

I am a user experience designer and sustainability enthusiast. As an European Climate Pact Ambassador, I will amplify the visibility for problems faced, lessons learnt and the solutions co-created by the community and it’s change-agents through my social media accounts. 

Climate change and the biodiversity crisis are happening here and now. That is why I support activities in the field of climate education. I run workshops for Climate Fresk, which show the causes and effects of climate change. In my daily work I am responsible for connecting business and local governments in activities involving city adaptation to climate change. I also create friendly educational spaces where both children and adults can learn about the importance of biodiversity in the city.

As a Landscape Architect in the Department of Environment at Ilion Municipality, I am dedicated to promoting sustainable urban greening and environmental awareness. I design open spaces like pocket parks and green schoolyards, while also hosting my podcast #τιναφυτεψωσημερα and leading hands-on educational activities for students. As a Climate Ambassador, I will continue creating green spaces, organizing tree plantings, and fostering climate action through youth-focused events.

Since more than 20 years I am passionate about any topics related to sustainable development.

Due to my formal education as an architect, I try to share experience, good practices and extend knowledge about any matter related to carbon neutral resilient cities, sustainable urban development, energy efficiency, and renewable production. I am giving presentations and lectures on a regular basis to both - professionals and children, and try to extend the general public awareness for climate change.

Professionally involved in energy transition and circular economy as well as digitalisation, I am trying to impact positively my surroundings to adopt good behaviour towards climate and human footprint.

Climate solutions require scale, investment, de-risking and broad support to rise from individual efforts to effective partnerships. This is my personal and professional passion. I am actively shaping climate and risk solutions for over two decades, in and beyond Europe, for better local outcomes. With engagement and dialogue I build tanglible climate solutions with markets and industries, to thrive on science with resilient funding, for real impacts in society, at urban and regional levels.

I believe that cities will change the world. Local actors have the best possibilities to inspire people to take action on climate change. In order to succeed in combatting climate change, everyone needs to feel part of the solution. I have studied the motivation of the cities in climate action and I work with climate justice on daily basis. As Ambassador I am keen on involving in and enabling an increase in municipal climate action, new solutions for the urban environment, and adaptation.

Sustainable development, ecosystems, community spirit and working together are my strong themes. They create far-reaching solutions and tools for a happy life - also for the future. It is all about people, respect and co-creation.
