Upoznajte naše ambasadore

I am an urban planner, activist, and researcher in Public Policies, connecting Territorial Planning, Urban Food Systems, and Local Development, researcher at the FCSH -  Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and affiliated to CICS.NOVA.

I co-founded the national network Feeding Sustainable Cities (2018), a knowledge dissemination network that brings together more than 550 members of the Portuguese food system. In 2022 a core group of the network founded ACSA–Alimentar Cidades Sustentáveis Associação, a national non-profit organisation which I am honoured to be the leader of.

As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I want to raise urban planners’ awareness of the need to integrate better food and agriculture related measures into Climate Strategies and Plans. As part of the awareness campaign, I will hold workshops in the school of architecture and planning and develop two publications to be available online both in Portuguese and English: Manual for food planners; Guidelines for Food Campaigners Champions.

 I am a scientist with a STEM background, and sustainability is embedded in all my initiatives. I have been exploring food from the molecular level to the food systems’ level.

I have also been assessing deep-tech innovations, notably within the EIC. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration to drive systemic change. Please feel free to reach out for workshop facilitation, talks, or about initiatives related to sustainable diets, food waste, pollution, and circular economy solutions.

Climate change mitigation and adaptation, at the policy level and as regards new technologies and sustainable finance, lie at the core of the work I am engaged. I work with a variety of stakeholders forging synergies and mainstreaming the Green Deal, ESG/Sustainable Finance and the UN Agenda 2030 values. Showcasing the climate activities I organise and participate in through the European Climate Pact will create more impact and promote these concepts and values to larger audiences across geographies and different fields.

I have been a climate activist for fifteen years. I am involved in the field of information and school education on the issues of decarbonisation and ecological transition. I also take care of sharing information and promoting environmental sustainability among the politicians of the area where I live. The goal is to transform proposals for climate change mitigation and adaptation into political programs and subsequently into concrete political actions in the local area. About: https://cutt.ly/7S

I have been an environmental activist since 2019, helping associations in Italy fight against conventional waste management and in favour of the implementation of 'zero waste' practices. After completing my Environment and Business degree in the United Kingdom in 2021, I have worked on sustainability-related projects for a London-based communication agency before joining the European Commission in October 2022. Since then, I have been helping DG CLIMA communicate EU climate action to stakeholders and the wider public. During my first months in Brussels, I launched The Earth Society, a network of current and former European Commission trainees interested in sustainability and climate action. The aim of this initiative is to encourage as many young minds as possible to take action to protect our planet and make our society fairer and greener. As a Climate Pact ambassador, my aim is to expand this network as much as possible, and increase its positive impact on society.

I share my knowledge on climate change and sustainable development during trainings, webinars, conferences and in articles. I have conducted a number of original workshops on ESG, circular economy, Zero Waste. I am also a moderator of Climate Fresk. I work mainly for the hotel industry (although not exclusively), where I initiated events such as Hotel Earth Week (organized for 4 years) or the catalog of good practices CSRwhotelu.pl.

I am a sustainability and innovation-driven C-Suite business strategy advisor in the Mobility / Energy / Technology industries. I actively contribute to solution-design and public advocacy initiatives linked to sustainable mobillity issues, within political movements ( Mouvement Démocrate, Démocrates pour la Planète) and think-tanks (The Shift Project, DPLP). As a European Climate Pact Ambassador I intend to help better bridge EU and national/local public policy initiatives and roll-outs.

I am sharing scientifically reliable knowledge and raising awareness on climate change through delivering the Climate Fresk workshop for different kind of audiences from all sectors. Moreover, I lead workshops on the topic of circular economy. I also collaborate with a start up which aims to enable CO2 reductions in ecommerce by introducing reusable solutions instead of single use packaging. Finally, I do a lot of interconnecting, helping people start and expand climate initiatives.

No one will be left behind! As Ambassador, I want to share my expertise in digital communication for making accessible organizations and local communities the scientifically reliable knowledge and the European activities for climate simply and concretely. I will make it through web writing, organizing events, and running campaigns in the media related to climate change. I want to become a bridge for people, organizations, and institutions, who want to co-create projects together.

I am a veterinarian, policy officer and One Health advocate working at the intersection of climate, health, and sustainability. My mission is to make climate-health science accessible and actionable through evidence-based communication, youth engagement, and education. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to promote awareness, inclusivity, and collaboration across sectors to drive a healthier, climate-resilient future.

I am a youth activist passionate about sustainability and European affairs. As a member and deputy director of "A Tree For Europe" within Equipo Europa, I’ve promoted climate action at regional and national levels. At the EU level, I participated in an Erasmus+ training course on climate change. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to engage young people and communities in the green transition through awareness and local action.

I regularly write articles on climate change and sustainability topics (1-2 articles per month). I host a podcast in which we promote ideas of sustainability and sustainable transport. I attend various media events as a climate change speaker and advocate for sustainable lifestyles, about which I regularly communicate through my social media and at public events. I also lead workshops and lectures at public events and for private companies.

I am already actively involved in engaging people and organisations in climate resilience and decarbonisation policies as a Climate Ambassador for the cutting-edge climate model EN-ROADS. Using this science-based model, I have had the opportunity to facilitate events that engage others with the climate policies needed to stay on track for a temperature rise below 2 degrees and meet the climate goal of the Paris Agreement.

As an Ambassador I will work to raise the awareness of my community and beyond on the pressing danger of air pollution caused by the emission of greenhouse gases. In order to fight for a better future we must be aware of the challenges we face. I will organise activities to educate the community and encourage them to participate in building a stronger and healthier democratic society that lives in harmony with its beautiful and rich environment. 

As a founder of Foodobox, my goal is to engage as many players of the food business in Bulgaria (and other countries, too) to join our green cause against food waste. 

I would like to rise the awareness on this specific problem as we live in a paradox-there is so many starving people and more than enough food to feed them all, that ends up in the garbage.

I am an educator responsible for promoting environmental education and serving as Coordinator of the Climate Resilience and Change Island Schools Network. As an Ambassador of the European Climate Pact, I intend to work to advance climate education through a holistic whole-school approach. My initiatives include trainings, workshops, and awareness campaigns focused on climate action, best practices for reducing schools’ climate footprints, supporting their transition toward climate neutrality, and strengthening education for protection against extreme weather events.

The Mediterranean, 0,8% of the seas and 7.5% of the world marine biodiversity, warms 20% more than the average. A first step to a net zero Med transport is the reduction of the sulphur in fuels used by ships (MED ECA - Emission Control Area). Already existing ECAs (North America, Baltic & North Sea, Chinese Sea) led to more than 50% cuts in ship emissions. My activity is focusing on awareness raising and facilitating MED ECA designation and set up of zero emissions maritime deployment projects.

I am an environmental educator and activist, organizing cleanups in 13 countries and delivering talks in schools to raise awareness about climate action. I publish content in Spanish to educate the Spanish-speaking world, where environmental education is lacking. I address harsh realities like wildlife mistreatment and government inaction. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I will engage communities and educate on waste management while promoting sustainable practices through social media.

I am a mum of four with a life long love of nature and a deep aversion to waste of any kind. I work full time as a local representative County Councillor. This means I am working closely with our Local Government to support their work on climate action and biodiversity loss and help bridge the gap between policy and action at local level. This can often mean supporting communities to access correct information on climate action projects and feed back concerns the public have. 

I am volunteer Chairperson of our local tidy towns organisation Keep Kilkenny Beautiful and I believe this is the most powerful organisation for climate action in communities in Ireland. Increasingly Keep Kilkenny Beautiful works on a lot of projects aimed at reducing our carbon footprint and halting biodiversity loss. We do this through programmes to eliminate invasive species, improve water quality highlight waste and encouraging waste reduction by doing more with less. 

I am a project manager and educator passionate about sustainability, civic engagement, and climate action. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I will inspire my community through hands-on activities—organizing activities and events that link biodiversity and mental well-being, leading interactive climate workshops, and testing a new climate-themed board game to make learning about climate challenges engaging and actionable.
