Ecco i nostri ambasciatori

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 am persuaded that respect for all men passes through respect for the environment and care for the "piece of land" entrusted to us. I am a father and with my actions I want to leave a better world than it is now, bequeathing it to my son and all those he represents. Engaged in the world of energy, I spend my time informing people about the good use of energy sources. I am a volunteer in the Catholic world, in which I would like to promote initiatives for the return to the land and respect for it.

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.
