I have a PhD in Biotechnology and I am an emerita Research Director, retired in 2016. In 2015, I trained to be a Climate Speaker in Vice President AL Gore´s Climate Reality Project. I would continue giving Climate talks to audiences of varying size. My material for the talks comes from Climate Reality, and also from Research Institutes. My talks focus on the general facts of Climate Change, why and how. I am also focusing on sustainable food and farming issues. My motivation is: Change is based on knowledge.

I think that universities need to be beacons when it comes to transformation and that everyone involved with the institution should benefit from knowing exactly how they can get involved to create a better future. Achieving sustainable development by smart systems of participation, collaboration and the right skills is what we need to achieve for everyone. Therefore we need to rewrite our higher education DNA by combining more knowledge with more action.

I co-founded the Donut Berlin Initiative, a local Doughnut Economics hub. We build bridges among change agents with similar and related goals and promote solutions and tangible actions for everyone to help secure a livable future. I see the Doughnut of social and ecological boundaries as compass for tackling the current polycrisis, a symbol of hope and a tool to start action. I give lectures and workshops, at universities or evening classes, for NGOs or the public sector. But most of all I love to think about actions and tools that reach out to people who are not yet involved in climate, environmental or social movements. Communication is key and I have learned that unexpected, creative and humorous ways of narrating and showing the options and solutions we have, open hearts and minds to support climate action.

I’m Eveline Haugaard, founder and CEO of Rail Voyage—a fast-growing slow travel community with over 30,000 members, inspiring travelers to choose trains over planes for a more sustainable, low-impact journey. Previously a Product Manager at SJ, I launched innovative travel concepts, and now I’m committed to raising awareness of the climate impact of travel. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to change travel behaviors, highlighting rail travel’s role in reaching Europe’s climate goals.

As a doctoral researcher focused on circular economy solutions, I am passionate about driving systemic change through scientific innovation. As a Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to engage my academic networks in sustainability dialogues, advocate for universities to strengthen their climate commitments, and provide evidence-based guidance on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I will connect with student groups to help amplify their voices and actions on climate justice. My scientific background allows me to communicate credibly on environmental issues and policies. I aim to inspire my peers to confront the climate emergency through local green initiatives and grassroots activism. Together, our generation can build momentum to achieve a just, sustainable future.

I am a PhD student researching Positive Energy Districts as part of the Sustainability Research Group of the University of Basel, and have published papers where I focus on energy justice as well as energy poverty. I see climate change mitigation as vital! I am a member of the Fairteiler group that provides a food pantry which is stocked daily with food we collect from supermarkets that would otherwise be thrown away. In this way we reduce food waste and encourage a more sustainable community.

I make climate policy accessible to young people to build up an empowered generation of climate policy experts and campaigners. I am the founder and CEO of ClimaTalk, an international youth-led non-profit organisation demystifying climate policy. We have so far published over 500 short and accessible articles covering 15+ areas of climate policy. We're also conducting award-winning live coverage from UNFCCC climate conferences. We're a team of 100+ volunteers from 30+ countries and 6 continents.

Robert Heinecke is an entrepreneur, futurist thinker and smart city expert. 

He is the CEO of Breeze Technologies, a German industry leader in air quality sensors, data and analytics, which he founded in 2015. 

Robert regularly speaks and publishes on the topic of smart and sustainable cities, air quality and climate action. 

Through his work at Breeze, he enables startups and other organisations to pilot solutions that can mitigate climate pollutant emissions and improve local air quality.

As a passionate advocate focused on community engagement and education, I plan to launch a social media campaign to promote the European Climate Pact and share practical tips. Educational materials will be created, including a guidance document for organising climate workshops in schools. Additionally, I will support initiatives centred on land restoration and facilitate community gatherings to discuss local climate action. Through these efforts, the goal is to inspire greater involvement.

I am an advisor in Agriculture and Environment, working for a better world, where sustainability prevails and with actions that protect Biodiversity.

My main motivation as an ambassador is to help people see what is really happening right now with the climate crisis we are experiencing, what the consequences are and what are the benefits of taking action through making certain decisions and changing habits. I also want to help network companies that, with a common purpose, will together be able to make a greater positive impact on the planet and society.

Over the last 15-years I have been helping organizations developing platforms to address sustainability in airline and automobile transportation through carbon neutral biofuels, plastic and electronic recycling technologies, and remote sensing (satellites and UAVs) for agricultural and atmospheric management.

As an ambassador I will provide on-line seminars to educate and train various organizational networks on ESG policy, renewable energy initiatives, and MRV to foster a net-zero economy.

Climate change and its consequences are one, if not THE, major subject of our century.

Whether on the sets of the channels, radio for which I have worked for many years and on my networks, I try to  help as many people as possible understand the problem and relay the solutions and good news to give hope and push for mobilization. Access to information is essential for me to push for action.

As an Ambassador for the European Climate Pact, I intend to continue to educate on theses topics.

I am a Decarbonisation and ESG Subject Matter Expert at Plan A, Europe's leading emissions management and decarbonisation platform. With a Master's in Climate Change, Management and Finance, and years' of experience in various businesses, I am interested in amping up Slovakia's pace at the intersection of sustainability and business. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I aim to educate my network from this region on the impact sustainability professionals can have in any business.

I lead a platform that aims to empower (not only) youth to be engaged and active. Hub (online and offline) provides opportunities to volunteer, network, learn and act. As climate justice initiative - we also provide safe space where the voice of the youth and disadvantaged population groups can be louder through activism, participation, active citizenship, volunteering and knowledge sharing. We tend to develop skills and build capacities in circular economy and climate change related topics.

I think the future will be better than we think but we have to do more to get there. I am life-long learner especially for sustainable aspects, a thriving facilitator, climate fresker, ecoparent, composter, cyclist sharing my time between France and Germany,  animating, speaking, organising events destinated to sensibilise people and business in my surroundings for social and environmental aspects. 

I am Leonie Hoffmann, a dedicated youth climate advocate with a Master’s in Sustainability and Social Innovation, currently serving as a sustainability consultant. As a speaker at the Summit of the Future High-Level Side Event in New York 2024, I urged urgent climate action and championed agency for future generations. I’ve moderated key discussions and served as a panelist on Climate Day 2024. Passionate about fostering climate awareness, I am launching my own podcast at the end of 2024.

I am a 20-year-old student and climate activist, working with civil society, the private sector and international politics to ensure intergenerational collaboration in the sustainability transition. For the past years, I have led numerous youth organizations, initiatives and programs, all focused on leveraging the potential of my generation in changing the world. Now, as Finland's Youth Delegate for Climate, I work at the UNFCCC as a strong advocate for climate justice in all of its forms.
